Lyrics:

[Michael Shermer]
Science is the best tool ever devised
For understanding how the world works

[Jacob Bronowski]
Science is a very human form of knowledge
We are always at the brink of the known

[Carl Sagan]
Science is a collaborative enterprise
Spanning the generations
We remember those who prepared the way
Seeing for them also

[Neil deGrasse Tyson]
If you're scientifically literate,
The world looks very different to you
And that understanding empowers you

Refrain:
[Richard Dawkins]
There's real poetry in the real world
Science is the poetry of reality

[Sagan]
We can do science
And with it, we can improve our lives

[Jill Tarter]
The story of humans is the story of ideas
That shine light into dark corners

[Lawrence Krauss]
Scientists love mysteries
They love not knowing

[Richard Feynman]
I don't feel frightened by not knowing things
I think it's much more interesting

[Brian Greene]
There's a larger universal reality
of which we are all a part

[Stephen Hawking]
The further we probe into the universe
The more remarkable are the discoveries we make

[Carolyn Porco]
The quest for the truth, in and of itself,
Is a story that's filled with insights

(Refrain)

[Greene]
From our lonely point in the cosmos
We have through the power of thought
Been able to peer back to a brief moment
After the beginning of the universe

[PZ Myers]
I think that science changes the way your mind works
To think a little more deeply about things

[Dawkins]
Science replaces private prejudice
With publicly verifiable evidence

(Refrain)

Carl Sagan and Feynman are my personal favorite scientists.

I have taken that time, it's much worse than they talk on the internet, religious people are fucking STUPID IGNORANT FOOLS.

Try discussing anything other than something covered by their religion and they are completely oblivious to the subject.

[Harinder Ahuja]

good lines ~

The story of humans is the story of ideas

 That shine light into dark corners..

[Harinder Ahuja]

there is no doubt about it ..very nice poetry `

[David Man]

This is the Gospel of the future!

[MicheleUrukHai]

Fuck your God

[ElementBit]

I like how you went on all the science videos just to comment religious stuff, I am glad you like a good religious argument.

Melodysheep, what are the tools you use for your creations?.

[Brandon Smith]

Science does not necessarily work because of a higher power, it works because science is based on hypotheses and observations. These hypotheses and observations haven been put through experiments, and every time they have been correct. Science is based on repeated experimentation and observation. As such, it is self correcting. If a hypothesis or observation does not work, it is changed until it works every time. Thank you for you time, Brandon Smith
