1. I acknowledge in time, matter, and energy, which make up the whole of the world. I accept the primacy of science, to provide a framework for life, reason, evidence and the human mind, a reason for being, the only tools we have; they are the product of natural forces in a majestic but impersonal universe, grander and richer than we can imagine, a source of endless opportunities for discovery. I acknowledge the goodness of humankind. I acknowledge the power of doubt; I do not seek out reassurances, but embrace the question, and strive to challenge my own beliefs. I accept human mortality, in my innate ability, in my mind, in my own ability to solve my problems, in my own moral standards. I accept in what I can see, what I can touch, in the tangible, the physical, the realistic. We have but one life, brief and full of struggle, leavened with love and community, learning and exploration, beauty and the creation of new life, new art, and new ideas. I rejoice in this life that I have, and in the grandeur of a world that preceded me, and an earth that will abide without me. Modified version of pharyngula

  @poligraf @Shadow -- LMAO... You really are a clown if you're saying this.
  If you're a Christian, which version of the Bible are you using?

  the flaw with this one is that reason is by nature limited : it can only deal with abstractions, and thus it never accesses actual truths, but only mere representations of them… and however carefully built, maps are never the territory : actual truth only exists in the world of experiences… the danger of systematically preferring reason is falling into the trap of confusing it for the truth it approximates… trying to live in the map necessarily leads to error…
