The Science of Myth

if you've ever question beliefs that you hold you're not alone
 but you oughtta realize that every myth is a metaphor
 in the case of christianity
 and judaism there exist the belief that
 spiritual matters are enslaved to history
 the buddhists believe that the functional aspects override the myth
 while other religions use the literal core to build foundations with
 see half the world sees the myth as fact
 while it's seen as a lie by the other half and
 the simple truth is that it's none of that and
 somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
 somehow we get by without ever learning
 science and religion are not mutually exclusive
 in fact for better understanding
 we take the facts of science and apply them
 and if both factors keep evolving
 then we continue getting information
 but closing off possibilities
 makes it hard to see the bigger picture
 consider the case of the women whose faith
 helped her make it through
 when she was raped and cut up
 left for dead in a trunk
 her beliefs held true
 it doesn't matter if it's real or not
 cause some things are better left without a doubt
 and if it works then it gets the job done
 somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
