Looking For, and Accepting, Truth

YA GOTTA BELIEVE. Certain things, you must. Certain other things one absolutely must not believe. Maybe its never too late to change, but its getting to be. Just a few examples. There are way too many people, especially in the United States, who still believe, or pretend to believe, that human evolution is an unproven, crackpot theory. Fact is, evolution is a fact, plain as day. Its time to accept that, in our modern well educated hi tech civilization. In a world torn and held back by religious conflict, its time for humanity to understand and accept the puny inadequacy of all its religions, and to understand and accept the obvious, that beings on other planets likely have many religions better than any of ours, and that God does not write books, nor inspire the writing of books to reveal His truth. We may as well wait for some intelligent being from another planet to reveal truth, or we could write new scripture to at least more accurately approach truth, or else, keep looking for truth ourselves, scripture-less. Perhaps the most reprehensible, dangerous widespread misconception among us is that which proclaims that global warming is a hoax. Oh, that it were. Its just a matter of measuring carbon in the atmosphere, and knowing its (carbon's) relation to sunlight. it really is that simple, and obvious. There is no shortage of intelligence in the world, just a shortage of education, and a tendency to misuse the marvelous human power of imagination. Imagination needn't be, and shouldn't be, a vehicle by which to embrace and institutionalize blatant falsehood.
