“The world is like a courtroom, with God as our judge. We are called upon to fulfill our covenant with God, who asked, "Am I not your Lord?" To which we answered, "Yea." And since here on earth we are on trial, our every word and action form the witness to and the evidence of that agreement.” WorldActionEarthFormLordAwarenessJudgingEvidenceTrialsWitnessAgreementCovenantCourtroomWords And ActionsCovenant With God Author:Rumi
“We have evidence all around us in our daily analytic practice and in contemporary world history that this earth-shaking archetypal event is taking place here and now. It has already started. It is manifesting itself in international relations; in the breakdown of the social structures of Western civilization; in political, ethnic, and religious groupings; as well as within the psyches of individuals- the momentous event of the coming of the self into conscious realization.” WorldWellsSelfEarthPoliticalIndividualSocialGrowthReligiousPracticeEventsAcceptanceCivilizationConsciousEvidenceRelationStructureWesternInternationalContemporaryRealizationManifestWorld HistoryHere And NowShakingInternational RelationsBreakdownWestern CivilizationAnalyticsSocial StructurePsych Author:Edward F Edinger

“It is at once by way of poetry and through poetry, as with music, that the soul glimpses splendors from beyond the tomb; and when an exquisite poem brings one's eyes to the point of tears, those tears are not evidence of an excess of joy, they are witness far more to an exacerbated melancholy, a disposition of the nerves, a nature exiled among imperfect things, which would like to possess, without delay, a paradise revealed on this very same earth.” WaySoulEyeEarthJoyPoetryTearsEvidenceWitnessParadiseMelancholyNervesExcessImperfectDispositionDelayGlimpseExquisiteTombsSplendorImperfect Things Author:Charles Baudelaire
“A point of great importance would be first to know: what is the capacity of the earth? And what charge does it contain if electrified? Though we have no positive evidence of a charged body existing in space without other oppositely electrified bodies being near, there is a fair probability that the earth is such a body, for by whatever process it was separated from other bodies - and this is the accepted view of its origin - it must have retained a charge, as occurs in all processes of mechanical separation.” IfsKnowsFirstsDoeBodyWould BeEarthProcessSpaceViewsEvidenceCapacityFairsImportanceAcceptedSeparationProbability Book:The Nikola Tesla Treasury Source: The Nikola Tesla Treasury
“The fact that we have not yet found the slightest evidence for life - much less intelligence - beyond this Earth does not surprise or disappoint me in the least. Our technology must still be laughably primitive, we may be like jungle savages listening for the throbbing of tom-toms while the ether around them carries more words per second than they could utter in a lifetime.” MayDoeStillsFactsEarthFoundTechnologyListeningEvidenceSurpriseLifetimeCarrieTomsPrimitiveSavagesJungleDisappoint Author:Arthur C.

“It is naïve to suppose that the acceptance of evolution theory depends upon the evidence of a number of so-called "proofs"; it depends rather upon the fact that the evolutionary theory permeates and supports every branch of biological science, much as the notion of the roundness of the earth underlies all geodesy and all cosmological theories on which the shape of the earth has a bearing. Thus antievolutionism is of the same stature as flat-earthism.” FactsEarthNumbersSupportAtheismAcceptanceTheoryDependsEvolutionShapesEvidenceNotionProofBranchesFlatsStatureBiological Science Author:Peter Medawar
“As Stephen Jay Gould pointed out in Time, in no other Western country is the teaching of Evolution regarded as controversial. Throughout the world, one way or another, most Christian denominations have managed to reconcile belief in God with belief in the mechanisms of natural selection. A French or German or Scandinavian politician who called for students to entertain as a reasonable deduction from existing evidence the proposition that Earth is at most 10,000 years old would be bundled off to a mental hospital.” WorldWayYearsCountryWould BeEarthChristianBeliefNaturalAtheismTeachingStudentsEvolutionPoliticianEvidenceWesternPositive AtheismOne WayReasonableHospitalsMechanismPropositionsSelectionControversialReconcileNatural SelectionBelief In GodDeductionsDenominationsScandinaviansChristian DenominationsJay Gould Author:Katha Pollitt
“I had to learn that there is more to the human being than material comfort, more than success, more even than national spirit or patriotism. That in any being worthy of being human there is also a demand for justice, for liberty, and that justice needs the evidence of all our lives, liberty is one and indivisible and collective, and no one can talk of justice solely for expediency's sake, nor of liberty while human beings, anywhere else on earth, are still in bondage.” NeedsHumansStillsEarthSpiritJusticeFreedomHuman BeingsLibertyOur LivesMaterialsComfortDemandEvidenceSakeWorthyCollectivesBeing HumanBondageIndivisibleExpediency Author:Han Suyin
