MIND AND SCIENCE


1. LOGIC AND THOUGHT

The mind is for play; its antics are toys.

The heart is for love: fount of all joys.  

Locks can’t break, nor probing seep

Into the secret thoughts that people keep.                   

Thought is beyond touch or sight;

Its speed far more than that of light.                              

We know lots of things, but never can find

What’s going on in another’s mind.                   

Logic can expose stupidity;

Yet can’t prove its own validity.                          

Trying to prove  that logic is great

Is like giving oneself a certificate.                      

Arguments are just for fun;

Truth isn’t oft with the one who won.   

Even if logic can atheism prove:

From head to heart God can move.

More wondrous than stars and electric trains

Are complex systems known as brains.

New ideas flow from the human brain

When a break there is in the logic chain.
