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)

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..

[TheSmackerlacker]

If she rarely went to the doctor, how the hell did she know she had cervical cancer. Also? What the fuck? Who DOESN'T go to the doctor when they have cancer? Seriously?

And no, I'm not confusing anything. YOU are. If your god can heal cancer, he can prevent it from even happening. After all, why wouldn't he? Is it his goal to show off, or does he actually care about your well-being?

[Christa Moncrief]

Very good lines. These scientists could come up with some beautiful poetry. You know they must be passionate about their jobs.

[Christa Moncrief]

Medicine? She rarely went to the doctor, and never really relied on medicine. She didn't know she had it until she had my sister. The doctors didn't even tell her. And, by the way, you're confusing miracles with curses, now, dear.

[TheSmackerlacker]

So fucking what? That's not a miracle. That's medicine.

Where's the miracle that caused your mother to not get cervical cancer in the first place? Are you really that stupid?

[Christa Moncrief]

My mom was never supposed to have children, and here I am alive and healthy. My sister's alive and healthy, too. My mom had cervical cancer.

[Christa Moncrief]

So our profile pictures are supposed to show who we are? Does that mean you're a possessed baby? Now I understand!

[Christa Moncrief]

Okay then,

1 - Well, what else am I supposed to say? Were you expecting me to use harsh words like yourself?

2 - Any little thing we say about our beliefs, you find a way to post hate about it.

3 - That's a fictional character, although that shouldn't matter. Some people don't realize how logical religious people can be.

4 - Really? Well, you really need a class on manners and also language, that way you can use actual words instead of those overused substitutes.

[TheSmackerlacker]

Your beliefs are unfalsifiable. First his miracles are obvious, now they don't NEED to be obvious. Just which is it, exactly?

Your miracles are non-existent, and you know it. That's why, when questioned, you don't even try to come up with an answer, you just change the subject and spout some bullshit about how I would see the truth if only I wanted too badly enough...

You're so full of shit that it's coming out of your ears, and you know that too.

[Christa Moncrief]

Some "Christian" religions even seem more like cults. Especially Catholicism. There also seem to be a lot of people who hate homosexuals because of their religion. What ever happened to "Hate the Sin. Not the Sinner." But the thing is, any time a Christian says one word about their beliefs, people begin to say hateful comments and make that person out to be a bad guy. It's just not right. It goes along with all the other hate crimes out there, really. People just don't realize that.

[Babby Babbyson]

You should change your image from a cute cat to a pig because you are a filthy swine.

If the satan you worship does exist, I hope you burn in his eternal hellfire of torture.
