System Of A Down - Science #10

System Of A Down
Album: Toxicity
Song: Science
Year: 2001
Lyrics:

Making two possibilities a reality
predicting the future of things we all know
fighting off the diseased programming
of centuries, centuries, centuries, centuries
Science fails to recognise the single most
potent element of human existence
letting the reigns go to the unfolding
is faith, faith, faith, faith
Science has failed our world
science has failed our mother earth
Science fails to recognise the single most
potent element of human existence
letting the reigns go to the unfolding
is faith, faith, faith, faith
Science has failed our world
science has failed our mother earth
Spirit-must rule all things
Spirit-must rule all things
Spirit-must rule all things
Letting the reigns go to the unfolding
is faith, faith, faith, faith
letting the reigns go to the unfolding
is faith, faith, faith, faith
Science has failed our world
Science has failed our mother earth
Spirit-moves-through-all-things
Spirit-moves-through-all-things
Spirit-moves-through-all-things
Spirit-moves-through-all-things
Spirit-moves-through-all-things {{{{{{{{spirit must rule all things!!!
Spirit-moves-through-all-things
Spirit-moves-through-all-things
Spirit-moves-through-all-things
Spirit-moves-through-all-things
Spirit-moves-through-all-things
Spirit-moves-through-all-things
Spirit-moves-through-all-things
Science has failed our mother earth.

nice try Bieber!

[YankeeRomanJew]

Why make an arguement of a beautiful song!

[PadraikKasier]

@thatguywithnoname; There is much to be learned from ancient cultures, spiritually and otherwise. I do not dismiss tradition as a source of wisdom. However, they are not on equal footing with the rigorous system science has devised to uncover truths about natural machinations.

[PadraikKasier]

@thatguywithnoname; I'm not an atheist. I'm a strongly conservative, traditionalist Christian, but my problem is that I'm not relativist or post-modernist.

Science was founded by people who wanted to understand the principles of how the universe operated. Different thinking is great, only to the point were it furthers understanding of absolute truth. If it does no such thing, science says it should be discarded as a method of investigating physical phenomena.

[thatguywithnoname]

@PadraikKasier In fact I wouldn't be surprised if this song is about that same point. Our most potent element is realizing how ignorant we are as a race and thus become open-minded by accepting that we will never know everything. Science was founded by people who thought outside of conventional beliefs.

[thatguywithnoname]

@PadraikKasier Oh my god. People like you are the reason our world is fucked. You don't even understand the essence of science. It's about being open minded. There is no absolute, and while I'm an athiest who believes in science (But does not assume its absolute accuracy), I have more respect of open-minded thiests than ignorant athiests. I'm not saying that athiesm is ignorant, but there are far to manny ignorant and ARROGANT athiests who think their opinion is better than everyone else's.

@panks1995 and theres nothing wrong with that, its just trying to be proven.

[amberience]

They're just catchy words. They don't mean much to me. Science is demonstrable and proven.

[PadraikKasier]

@panks1995; Nobody relies on Native American religion for natural truth. In order for science to correctly predict anything and thus for our technology to work, there has to be a universal, absolute truth that science tries to describe as closely as possible. If "wayu" or oriental mysticism worked equally well as science, airplanes, generators, and western medicines would not work. You don't see a witch doctor when you have a staph infection, do you? You confound knowledge and wisdom.

[panks1995]

@Kringe7 You may be right and its a fair point of view but I think the video tries to say that since science is basically knowledge, what makes it more acceptable than ancient knowledge that has come through experience that came generations before us and that it is still used in...for example... latin american indian cultures like witoto or wayu.. and that science slowly has tried to erradicate this kind of knowledge and make science stand out like the only true path of knowledge :)
