“I see”, said the blind man.

I see a fantastically complex universe that is endless in beauty, fascination and awe.

I see a delicate song and dance amongst a seemingly endless variety and interaction of life.

I appreciate harmony and peace in life from witnessing death and destruction.

I’ve seen worlds collide and heavens explode.

Atheist schizophrenia

For maybe a million years we have toiled.
Long it seems we have waited for our present minds to dawn.
Several billion years go by in the blink of a new-born eye.

I got this idea from the evangelicalatheist, so he deserves some [...]
