As I sit around and watch TV or listen to the radio I can not help but notice something that has been itching my brain for quite some time now. I listen to the talking heads about incandescent light bulbs, so and so has a hypocritical gas bill, the banning of combustion engines, the fears as well as the total disregard of climate change.

I jump from one side of the fence to the other like a disillusioned madman. For the longest time I could not figure why a general conclusion of what exactly was going on in the debate was so illusive to me.

Then it dawned on me: “Hey guy, you’re a pretty analytical person why can’t you decide which side you’re on?” and that was just it.

I remember, perhaps a year or so ago, reading the cover of a newspaper “Debate Is Over, Globe Is Warming” or something to that affect in big bold letters with a wonderful portrait of our mother Earth standing boldly in the depths of space.

I do not remember the paper, but the debate was not over, in fact it had just begun.

Those who I suspected would see eye to eye on the truth of the matter began not to stipulate if global warming was a reality anymore, but instead what was causing it. The science community split in twain.

For one reason or the other I thought what it would have been like to be around during the John Scopes Trial. How if I was on the jury, I’d probably just go into a state of propagandistic shock and eat cookies all day?with milk of course!

I would long for someone to speak out and say something that would give my heart a definitive direction amongst all the criticism.

Einstein once said “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind” and I believe if I heard this, at once I would instantly snap out of my spaced-out slumber and offer him a cookie. Case closed!

The point is that as much as religion had impacted science and vice versa, in that fateful trial it is minor in comparison to the bi-polar media frenzy that has turned scientists into dogs and heroes in the debate over our climate.

So where is our Einstein? Where is one that believes in the intricate workings of our minds and universe so much they find it to be nothing less than a miraculous event?

In my humble and sincere opinion, religion and science are both beautiful ways to understand the wonders which surround us.

The media is OK, but can be creepy at times.

Like RIGHT NOW! Ha, gotcha.

Oh yeah, and if someone tries to give you a Science grant with the stipulation you must investigate only one side of a public debate, thankfully decline, but at least try to get a free lunch out of them by guessing how much change they got in their pocket.
