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)

ps your a dumbass and you need to read more science books about evolution

[Babby Babbyson]

You've not added anything to the discussion than insults, you are the jackass.

Don't talk, you are not helping either side.

Child.

[Babby Babbyson]

History is just that, history, times have changed, and new evidence has arisen to disprove what we once believed was fact.

Just because you are to fucking ignorant to educate yourself on modern sciences and prefer to troll on the internet does not make them any less true.

The only person trying to "force their beliefs" here is you, you have been doing it for days on this video, fuck off seriously, I am reporting you to youtube.

Nobody has interrupted you, that's impossible in comments you fuck.

[MicheleUrukHai]

i agree with you. so RESPECT MY POSITION.

My position is TO FUCK GOD.

[jeremy ocampo]

they have evolved google it, we evolve because of change in environment, animals of the same species move apart in the world, and due to different environments in the world, theyy evolve,also climate change cause animals to evolve, and a species can evolve in many different ways because they have many different ways of surviving the environment or the animals there getting eaten by, this is the same for microrganism, and the missing link was found in ethiopia, and its actually in a meuseum there

[Herpderppsyduck]

Hey, hey guys! I have an idea! Let's cease the petty arguments and talk about the video! Golly gee, what a lovely idea!

[Maggie Berg]

In the words of Ms. Franklin, "R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means..." Science does not hand one an invitation to insult other people's ideologies with the f-bomb. Soul is important even to this tune.
