questioning mindset

If you think there are no coincidences 

You might say everything happens for a reason 

With a mindset that cannot abide random events 

Avoiding the logical steps that lead to atheism 


Humans have answers for everything 

But every explanation contains a question 

Beginning in the child asking why again and again 

Until stopped short with I don't know 


The ancient mythology now disbelieved

Replaced by feudal forms of worship holding on

As we go about our lives mostly unaware 

We exist inside the capitalist mythology


For those uncomfortable with probability 

Uneasy with the immense unknown 

Craving the certainty of absolute authority

The answer is don't ask questions 


But questions are what science is all about 

With the methodical approach to ongoing discovery

Leading to ever better understanding 

Always with the caveat as far as we know
