Our esteem for facts has not neutralized in us all religiousness. It is itself almost religious. Our scientific temper is devout.

For us, Marxism is always open because there are always new xperiences, there are always new facts, including facts about the past, which have to be incorporated in the corpus of scientific socialism.

To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull facilities can comprehend only in the most primitive forms--this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I belong to the ranks of the devoutly religious men.

Retirement Plans
The religious man
may have a questionable retirement plan
However,
his devout faith in God
will always pay him the highest dividends….

Moreover, only a strong and united scientific opinion imposing the intrinsic value of scientific progress on society at large can elicit the support of scientific inquiry by the general public.

The truth is that the religious and the scientific processes, though involving different methods, are identical in their final aim. Both aim at reaching the most real.

It will sometimes strike a scientific man that the philosophers have been less intent on finding out what the facts are, than on inquiring what belief is most in harmony with their system.

The modern dilemma is essentially a spiritual one, and every one of its main aspects, moral, political and scientific, brings us back to the need of a religious solution.

A Dark Moon Mystery!
Moon everybody knows since time immemorial to man
But dark Moon nobody knows yet since landing there
Some 40 years ago by first man Neil Armstrong of USA!
Stories, poems and scientific facts of bright Moon all know
But nothing of stories, scientific photos of dark Moon yet!
Have the known Aliens and UFOs come from dark Moon?
Bright Moon facing Earth revolves round waxing and waning
But the other side always dark Moon is a great mystery ever!
When mystery of dark Moon will be known time only knows!
Mystery of Moon provoked man to send rockets to explore
The land of Moon for life, raw materials and Space exploration;
Since landing on Moon in 1969 no efforts are made to know full!
Scientific exploration and inventions are very expensive for man
But poetic exploration and expression of Moon is economical fun!

There is a class, moreover, by whom all these scientific theories, and more are held as ascertained facts, and as the basis of philosophical inferences which strike at the root of theistic beliefs.
In all religiousness there lurks the suspicion that we invented the story that God Loves us.

Esteem must be founded on preference: to hold everyone in high esteem is to esteem nothing.
A theory is only as good as its assumptions. If the premises are false, the theory has no real scientific value. The only scientific criterion for judging the validity of a scientific theory is a confrontation with the data of experience.

More Than Fast to Attack Without Facts
You should be the last to call someone a radical.
When you are more than fast to attack without facts.
To prejudge anyone based upon their appearance alone...
Is a characteristic of a fanatic on hormones.
And representing an outlook maintained...
By many who lay in the Sun,
As a ritual done...
Like it's a religious sabbatical.
And nothing you do is self examined at all.
Not from my re-assessed point of view.
You've been taught to believe you are superior.
But nothing interior clicks in your head...
Everything you do contradicts instead.
With a quick labelling of others,
You say you keep in your prayers.
I could swallow that if it wasn't hollow.
You should be the last to call someone a radical.
When you are more than fast to attack without facts.
To prejudge anyone based upon their appearance alone...
Is a characteristic of a fanatic on hormones.
And representing an outlook maintained...
By many who lay in the Sun,
As a ritual done...
Like it's a religious sabbatical.

The altar
What use is a church,
what use are religious people to me,
when the love of Christ,
I do not in them and in it see
and when they act like religious fanatics
as if they are here to be judge and jury
and have all the facts?
Even going so far in writing,
to dare me to act with destruction,
when it lies in my hands?
And I refrain from that kind of thing,
scared that somehow, some of their members,
are sincere followers of Jesus Christ,
whom I may also harm.
I take the Bible as the book, the only one
which spells out the gospel of my life,
gives explanations of the beyond
and shows the things to come
and every day in humility
I stand on my knees,
trying to make my heart
the altar of my own church.
