Empirical

The way that a protein is folded Can cause us to live or can cause us to die Our knowledge expands ad infinitum Empirical data cannot be denied A rolling ball continues rolling An object in motion is never at rest And when forces stop it it stays stopped So obvious that I would never have guessed Often Mistaken Never in Doubt You have got Everything Figured Out Data or Dogma Faith versus Fact Religion and Science can not Interact The first law of thermodynamics Work becomes heat energy is conserved Potential is spent through kinetic The second law proves we get what we deserved Energy can't be created And nothing created is nothing destroyed Order degrades into chaos Disorder and entropy we can't avoid The lack of a proof isn't proof of a lack You can't take this from me I'm taking it back The need for convincing has been minimized Failure to be satisfied criticized Often Mistaken Never in Doubt You have got Everything Figured Out Data or Dogma Faith versus Fact Religion and Science can not Interact Evidence points toward nothing And that proves that nothing will ever be true So now you fall back on your dogma And sadly your dogma revolves around you Explanations must be simple The simplest conclusion must always be drawn The rules always have their exceptions If nothing is proven then nothing is wrong The theory you love is the one you support That won't be enough for me I demand more The value of evidence won't be reduced Won't settle for less I will not be seduced Often Mistaken Never in Doubt You have got Everything Figured Out Data or Dogma Faith versus Fact Religion and Science can not Interact
