The Ether

The ether is probability. We have only come so far to say if the event is repeated over and over again, it might be this thing or it might be that. The electron may be there or there or there. But we know the electron is. We can feel its force and harness it to run the information age. But what has God done for us. Spoke to a few people that were very pre-information age, pre-science, and provoked by a lack of value for life and humanity in the world around them. All we have for science is a set of knowledge created from a process that has allowed humanity to progress much faster than it ever has in the past. Religions also have a collection of knowledge from texts, but more they have influence. They have the influence to convince millions to do right and to tell them what right is. Science only looks to know what helps and how it helps. Every one of us can look into our lives and find a quick decision that turned out poorly. Religion is the quick decision by humanity to sacrifice a little choice for a lot more justice. That balance should never be shifted away from justice, but I'm not convinced that the choices limited by modern religions are those that should be worried about. At a time when the human population is rocketing in the third world, religious and cultural movements in the Arab and African world have worked to prevent condom use and stop abortions. In a time when we can finally see the massive benefits seen in societies with growing education systems, religious and cultural movements move to control education and censor scientists. Rules must always exist to protect. Rules must always exist to control. But a cultural movement that started early in humanity must gain its validity from the world we can see and feel. Even when we look into ourselves it is there, but so are the building blocks of language, the processes necessary to learn. These abilities ride beside each other within the human mind, not because God blessed them upon us, but because they formed and grew as our society became more complex and largely integrated. That is why there are different religions in different areas where people were isolated from each other at different times. With language barriers behind us and people learning and gaining from science all over the world it is time to force our own evolution away from a god fearing race and into a race that realizes the universe is massive and complex and our minds and existence are simple in comparison. With a vast sky above us, we must praise and follow the light of the unknown to discover meaning and greatness in the world around as well as to survive another day. Maybe god exists, maybe the electron is there and going that fast, but the answer is not upon us so lets move on and think about what we can do to glorify humanity and the world we reside on.
