Screeching Weasel - The Science Of Myth lyrics

rate me

If you've ever question beliefs that you hold you're not alone

But you oughtta realize that every myth is a metaphor

in the case of Christianity

and Judaism there exist the belief

that spiritual matters are enslaved to history

The Buddhists believe that the functional aspects override the myth

while other religions use the literal core to build foundations with

See half the world sees the myth as fact

while it's seen as a lie by the other half and

the simple truth is that it's none of that and

somehow no matter what the world keeps turning

Somehow we get by without ever learning

Science and religion

are not mutually exclusive

In fact for better understanding

we take the facts of science and apply them

And if both factors keep evolving

then we continue getting information

but closing off possibilities

makes it hard to see the bigger picture

Consider the case of the women

whose faith helped her make it through

when she was raped and cut up left for dead

in a trunk her beliefs held true

It doesn't matter if it's real or not cause

some things are better left without a doubt and

if it works then it gets the job done

Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
