Human history lies in the shallows.

We walk out deeper because of our powerful ability to imagine, we wander into prehistory at our knees.

The strata of the eras ribbon up our torso through geologic time.

Neck-deep time.

Our head above the watery eons only because we cannot hold our breath for long and yet,

we plunge through space and time with automatons and can project the data into comprehension as never before.

I am so disappointed in the world’s religions who deny our expanding comprehension.

they are farcically wrong.

tolerance of their incorrectness

an ever-expanding river of bullshit

has led to racist factionalism that stands in the way of science and humanism.

I glance back at them all squabbling in the shallows like babies,

calling each other names and threatening wars

oblivious to the depths revealed by our observations

our science.

I do not long to explain the spiritual or wondrous inexplicable.

I only long for all the bullshit else to end, so we can continue to evolve into something beautiful, calm and sane.

And not to stampede down an apocalypse invented by false prophets leading religions for personal gain.

The Buddha implied as much 2568 years ago.
