Moving beyond the myths, superstitions and folklore of the past (#2051)

The logic of science teaches us that mysteries can be solved through technology and creative innovation based primarily upon mathematics, physics, geology, psychology and biology. Science is the key to our future and the transition we need to use as a bridge to move on from our ancient past. We take the utility of logic and apply what truth is available to all other facets of our existence. First we know we don't know. That is a truth, which makes the question {why?} so important. I am constantly going on about our nature of curiosity and this is illustrated in every endeavor we humans undertake. We don't know so many things yet we are bold enough to wonder and explore to find new answers. The old answers from our past are becoming more and more irrelevant in their logic that belief systems and mythology have become more a pacifier to our societies than actual truths. Yet we need to have a sense of safety and purpose to placate our raw fear. We are in a dilemma of sorts, caught between real fear and our own nature to know. Eventually the way forward will be science. It is often ridiculed but think about this, science is a tool we use from our own will to know things. It is a process that has proven itself to be constant. Much like we use mathematics or language as a constant, such is the role of science. Many who are beholden to belief systems and other mythological paradigms are discounting science to be a sort of witchcraft, fit only for denying. Yet the proof is always in the fact that science is advancing equality, not folklore, myth or superstition. Our great democracy is demanding of us and to assuage it we must continue to advance our knowledge in order to understand what the principles we hold dear actually look and live like. The logic of science will endure and the sooner we give it it's due the faster we will get to a truly equal society.
