Since
we've now discovered the particle that assigns mass, beings a few
decades or even centuries ahead of us may actually have discovered how
to manipulate the Higgs Field and the Higgs Boson itself, allowing for
FTL travel at relativistic speeds generating gravity at will,
controlling inertia, thus preventing g-force damage to themselves while
traveling at impossible speeds and angles.
Faith is
part of science since not everything we know exists can be seen with
the limitations of the eyes or the other 4 mundane senses, let alone the
"other" less mundane senses. That said, I have faith that science will
finally come to terms with two subjects which have eluded them,
sometimes intentionally through skepticism: divinity in the form of love
and the idea that the universe is actually teaming with life, some of
it intelligent, some of it having relationships with this world.
I may
not see it my lifetime, but there will be a consensus about those two
elusive concepts in the realm of science, thus finally fusing physics
and metaphysics.

7 Degrees Hotter? Meh, That's Nothin'.
According to Price-Waterhouse Accounting and nearly all climatologists, the earth's temperature will rise 7 degrees by the end of the century if
we don't start cutting carbon emissions.
Now, you may say, "who gives a shit, I'll be dead by then." How about your family? Your grandchildren, your great grandchildren, et al? Don't they mean anything? The anti-science people (a phrase I never thought I'd ever have to type or utter) are saying, "meh, what's 7 degrees?" Well, think of it this way, what if your internal temp was 105 instead of 98.6. Would you be ok with that? Not for very long. Maybe a couple of days if you were in good health prior to that.
The Fossil Fool Industry...oh, I'm sorry, Fossil FUEL Industry would have you believe that 7 degrees is nothin'. No problem, they say. Why would they give a shit....they're in their lofty, ivory towers spending your money.
The Earth's temperature rising 7 degrees would create a scene out of Spielberg's "Artificial Intelligence" movie.
All the polar ice caps would have melted, and as a result, no reflectivity of the sun's rays would contribute to increased heat, and eventually, due to the increased carbon, a greenhouse effect becomes pronounced to such a degree (pun intended), that Earth would become much like Venus, where the temp on a good day is enough to MELT LEAD.
Think about that as you drive that big ol' SUV down 2 blocks to get your tall soy caramel machiato latte with no foam and extra extra (sweet and low).
Be cool (ha!), be nobody's FUEL FOOL, and don't dismiss the bliss.
