Baba Brinkman, Syqnys - Naturalizm lyrics

"Science is more than a body of
Knowledge it's a way of thinking
A way of skeptically
Interrogating the universe with a
Fine understanding of
Human fallibility where religion
Gets into trouble
Is in those cases that it pretends to
Know something about science" Carl Sagan

Whenever I debate opponents of naturalism
They act like I viciously
Attacked their position
And that's when I can get
Half to actually listen
It's like their minds are trapped
Shackled in prison when I mention evolution
The panic it hit's 'em yeah, they act like
I'm advocating cannibalism
It's a man-eat man world, just animals living
In a pointless universe


Try like mad to convince 'em but, I can't
Without getting' passionate with it
Watch how far naturalists being
Passive will get 'em
Forget about my radical stance on religion
Watch a naturalist debate
A fanatical Christian
On the one side, you have someone with PhDs
On the other
Call 'em "freeze" – they have zero degrees
And then we have to sit there
And hear from the sleaze
Like it's a real debate
You hearing me? Please!

Please, I'm hearing whispers on
The wind about "conspiracies"
And "missing links" in
Modern evolutionary trees
"Intelligent design is treated
Like it's heresy"
That's because it has no support empirically!
"But living things look designed
They must be designed!"
Sounds like your outcomes are all pre-defined
You need the scientific method
To free your mind
Your ignorance is makin' baby Jesus cry
Design in nature is a blind operation
Here, let me try to find a
Less offensive way to say it
There's craters in the moon and
There's craters in your face
But that doesn't mean the two
Were created the same way
Bottom up versus top down
Me and Syq gotta play good cop, bad cop now
How does being labeled a
"cynical fraud" sound?
Try to sneak religion into science
And get shot down

So don't waste your breath
Tryin' to sell me that fake BS
I'm a rationalist
I don't believe your little claims unless
You can back them with reason and evidence
And don't waste my precious time
Tryin' to save my soul, no i'm a naturalist
I don't believe you need magic
To explain anything anything? Anything!

We've been too accommodating
That's the reason that scientists
Are viewed by the public
As deceivers and liars, it's
Crazy crazy! yeah
They're thinking that science is
Populated by incompetent
Overconfident nihilists
Why is this? It seems that we live in a world
In which the people who have the
Most to say are the quietest
Meanwhile, the willfully ignorant
Are skilled at belligerently shouting
Filling the innocent
Minds of the public who aren't
Really that into it that the data for global
Warming isn't really significant
Or that evolution's just a theory
This is important, we must be weary
Of pseudo-scientists, and bust them, clearly
We don't have to be all hushed and fear the
Repercussions yeah
We're outnumbered we're the
Ones who are right, science-lovers hear me!

And holler back if you'd
Rather have the facts
Even if they call you an iconoclast
Cause you're mockin' on their sacred
Cows and other ancient artifacts
Never believe an idea based on
How long it lasts
Judge it on the damage it does
On it's impact the time of religion on this
Planet is almost passed
But, it's still holding us back
Like Jodie Foster in Contact
And still I'm clinging on this olive branch
Why? Cause, I got friends who like to pray
And they tell me it brightens their day
So I say keep it out of my face
And out of science debates
And you can have a nice
Time with your private faith
But, if your personal fantasy
World touches reality
I'm comin' with the cavalry
Debunkin' every fallacy
That's part of the vision
Of scientific majesty vigilance is the cost
And religion is the casualty
So don't waste your breath
Tryin' to sell me that fake BS
I'm a rationalist
I don't believe your little claims unless
You can back them with reason and evidence
And don't waste my precious time
Tryin' to save my soul, no i'm a naturalist
I don't believe you need magic
To explain anything anything? Anything!

"If we are not able
To ask skeptical questions, to
Interrogate those who tell us
That something is true, to
Be skeptical of those in authority
Then we're up for
Grabs for the next charlatan
Political or religious
Who comes ambling along" Carl Sagan
