Favorite Quote:
“Supposing there was no intelligence behind the universe, no creative mind. In that case, nobody designed my brain for the purpose of thinking. It is merely that when the atoms inside my skull happen, for physical or chemical reasons, to arrange themselves in a certain way, this gives me, as a by-product, the sensation I call thought. But, if so, how can I trust my own thinking to be true? It's like upsetting a milk jug and hoping that the way it splashes itself will give you a map of London. But if I can't trust my own thinking, of course I can't trust the arguments leading to Atheism, and therefore have no reason to be an Atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God.”


Come and see the forest,

Where wild animals play.

Come and see the trees,

With colored leaves in May.

 

Where apple blossoms bloom,

Is the home of the jay.

In the berry bushes,

Is where the rabbits stay.

 

Come and see the deer,

On a sunny day.

Running in the weeds,

Where they like to play.

 

 

 

 

Come and see the bear,

Lying in the way.

Sprawling in the sun,

And sleeping all the day.

 

Come and see the moose,

Sitting in the bay.

Chewing on his cud,

And staying all the day.

 

Come and see the birds,

With songs oh so gay.

Flitting in the trees,

And watching for the jay.

 

Come and see the wolves,

Howling I say.

Sneaking through the forest,

Hunting for their prey.

 

Come and see the mice,

Scampering in the way.

Playing in the bushes,

searching all way.
