Sarah watched as the rain made its way down the window pane. “Imagine that we never discovered science. Would we believe that this rain was the physical manifestation of life? I mean, is every raindrop simply a life starting in the clouds and ending when the drop hits the floor? Just imagine the idea that every time a raindrop hits a house, a car, or even a person, it symbolised a life being cut short.”
Next to her, another figure watched as the rain fell steadily. They turned their eyes to Sarah; “But we’ve discovered it; we know better.”

Well, science isn’t really so much a discovery as a method of objective study (which has since been totally consumed by politics and government funding — but I digress). It’s just a way of looking at the world, creating a hypothesis based on observation, and then independently testing that hypothesis to see if it can be duplicated.
Sorry, it’s how my mind works.

I think you can probably tell the way my mind works from the story 🙂 To me, science is just a mystery that existed in school only to confuse me!

LOL. Well, there’s a reason I’m no scientist, being pretty much math-phobic. I still love the principles of scientific study, though.

Never conflate science with art or poetry! 🙂

I understand art and poetry a lot more than I understand science! (Until people like Damien Hirst to get involved anyway)
