(no subject)

Let us say not of religous holidays -- their meanings unknown to lay people.

Let us say not of traditions -- copied, transgressed, transformed, spindled, polygraphed, and mutilated.

Let us say not of beliefs -- spread and diversified, then combined and creamed, before spreading and diversifying again to start the cycle, mutating and changing every time, the origional meaning lost to time.

Instead, let us say of the cold hard facts -- those proven with enough evidence to choke a horse.

Let us say of theories -- replies that need testing, or just fit the data but need more work.

Let us say of science, of how fast a comet really is going by it's tail length; invoking chaos theory for snowflake making; and chatting about mean free paths over a Guiness or two.

Let us say of Einstein, Neuton, Tesla, Curie, Hawking, Nobel, Murphy, and others; but let us not forget Bihari, Leike, Barss, Schmidt, and many countless unknowns.

Let us celebrate Agnostica, for those who want hard proof of a God... or the dice that play him.
