Lyrics - Science Of Myth by Screeching Weasel

If you've ever question beliefs thatyou hold you're not alone
But you oughtta realize that every mythis a metaphor in the case of
Christianityand
Judaism there exist the belief thatspiritual matters are enslaved tohistory
The
Buddhists believe that the functional aspectsoverride the mythwhile other religions use the literalcore to build foundations with
Seehalf the world sees the myth as fact while it's seen as a lie by the otherhalf and the simple truth is that it'snone of that and somehow no matterwhat the world keeps turning
Somehow weget by without ever learning
Science and religion are not mutually exclusive
In fact for betterunderstanding we take the facts of science andapply them
And if bothfactors keep evolving then we continuegetting information but closing offpossibilities makes it hard to see the biggerpicture
Consider the case ofthe women whose faith helped her make it throughwhen she was raped and cutup left for dead in a trunk her beliefs held true
It doesn't matter if it'sreal or not cause some things are better leftwithout a doubt and if itworks then it gets the job done
Somehow, no matter what, the world keeps turning
