About Me |
|
| Right now I'm just trying to keep up with some of the music software thats out there and layin down tracks to satisfy my soul. All these tunes are home studio creations, and are works of art in progress subject to change at any time. I made the video below for my family using 8mm film from my fathers home movie collection. I scored it with a original song called "Said the father" He passed away in 2000 and that's him in the opening shot dancing with his sister. Music has always been a big part of my life and I like to write songs about the mysteries of life and all it's absurdities. I like to meet all different kinds of people, artist and musicians and music lovers, poets and priests..... and I really enjoy finding new music and discovering new artists on myspace, so if your passin thru let me know you were here and I'll try to get over to your site soon and check out your sounds.

Influences: SUPPORTING SCIENCE – INVESTING IN THE BIG QUESTIONS JOHN TEMPLETON FOUNDATION This is the first in a series of conversations about the “big questions” that the John Templeton Foundation is conducting among leading scientists and scholars. DOES THE UNIVERSE HAVE A PURPOSE? Unlikely, Perhaps you hoped for a stronger statement, one way or the other. But as a scientist I don’t believe I can make one. While nothing in biology, chemistry, physics, geology, astronomy, or cosmology has ever provided direct evidence of purpose in nature, science can never unambiguously prove that there is no such purpose. As Carl Sagan said, in another context: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Of course, nothing would stop science from uncovering positive evidence of divine guidance and purpose if it were attainable. For example, tomorrow night if we look up at the stars and they have been rearranged into a pattern that reads, “I am here,” I think even the most hard-nosed scientific skeptic would suspect something was up. But no such unambiguous signs have been uncovered among the millions and millions of pieces of data we have gleaned about the natural world over centuries of exploration. And this is precisely why a scientist can conclude that it is very unlikely that there is any divine purpose. If a creator had such a purpose, she could choose to demonstrate it a little more clearly to the inhabitants of her creation. One is always free, as some people do, to interpret the laws of nature as signs of purpose, as for example Pope Pius did when Belgian physicist-priest George Lemaitre demonstrated that Einstein’s general theory of relativity implied the universe had a beginning. The Pope interpreted this as scientific proof of Genesis, but Lemaitre asked him to stop saying this. The big bang, as it has become known, can be interpreted in terms of a divine beginning, but it can equally be interpreted as removing God from the equation entirely. The conclusion is in the mind of the beholder, and it is outside of the realm of scientific theory and prediction. Finally, even if the universe has a hidden purpose, everything we know about the cosmos suggests that we do not play a central role in it. We are, as a planet, cosmically insignificant. Life on Earth will end, as it has probably done on countless planets in the past, and will do in the future. And all the stars and all the galaxies we see could disappear in an instant and the universe would go on behaving more or less as it is doing right now. Nature seems as uncaring as it is unyielding. Thus, organized religions, which put humanity at the center of some divine plan, seem to assault our dignity and intelligence. A universe without purpose should neither depress us nor suggest that our lives are purposeless. Through an awe-inspiring cosmic history we find ourselves on this remote planet in a remote corner of the universe, endowed with intelligence and self-awareness. We should not despair, but should humbly rejoice in making the most of these gifts, and celebrate our brief moment in the sun. Lawrence M. Krauss is Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Case Western Reserve University. Sounds Like: Why don't you tell me in your comments..... Record Label: Self produced Type of Label: None |
