One Of The Drawbacks Of English Is

We Are Special In The Sense That We Can Know Our Place In The Cosmos. We Can Know Our Place In Space. We Are At Least One Of The Cosmos's Ways Of Knowing Itself. That Fills Me With Reverence And Joy. Another Insight I Really Want People To Consider Is This: Everyone Has Gotten This Far. Everyone You Meet Has Made It This Far. Nobody Is Superior To Anyone Else From An Evolutionary Standpoint.

The More You Find Out About The World, The More Opportunities There Are To Laugh At It.

Incidentally, The Creationists That I've Encountered Diligently Deny That Our Earth's Climate Is Being Altered By People. This Point Of View And Teaching Is In Absolutely No One's Best Interest. Here's Hoping We Can Work Together And Preserve The Earth, For Us - Us Humans.

I Just Want To Remind Us All There Are Billions Of People In The World Who Are Deeply Religious, Who Get Enriched By The Wonderful Sense Of Community By Their Religion. But These Same People Do Not Embrace The Extraordinary View That The Earth Is Somehow Only 6,000 Years Old.

I Often Reflect On What An Extraordinary Time (pun Intended) It Is To Be Alive Here In The Beginning Of The Twenty-first Century. It Took Life Billions Of Years To Get To This Point. It Took Humans Thousands Of Years To Piece Together A Meaningful Understanding Of Our Cosmos, Our Planet And Ourselves. Think How Fortunate We Are To Know This Much. But Think Also Of All That's Yet To Be Discovered. Here's Hoping The Deep Answers To The Deep Questions-from The Nature Of Consciousness To The Origin Of Life-will Be Found In Not Too Much More Time.
