["The Science of Myth"]
[Intro chord: F#]
F# If you've ever questioned beliefs that you hold you're Bnot alone
But F#you oughta realize that every religion is a Bmethaphor
D# C#In the case of BChristianity D# and JudaC#ism there Bexists the belief
That D#spiritual C#matters are Benslaved to history
The F#Buddhists believe that the functional aspects overBride the myth
While F#other religions use the literal core to build founBdations with
D# See half the C#world sees the Bmyth as fact
And it's D#seen as a C#lie by the Bother half and
D# The simple C#truth is that it's Bnone of that cause
D# Somehow no matter what the Bworld keeps turning
F# Somehow we get by without C#ever learning
D# Somehow no matter what the Bworld keeps turning
F# Somehow we get by without C#ever learning
D# Science and F#religion are not Bmutually exC#clusive
D# In fact for better underF#standing
We take the Bfacts of science C#and apply them
D# And as both factors keep F#evolving then we conBtinue getting C#information
D# But closing off possiF#bilities makes it Bhard to see the C#bigger picture
ConF#sider the case of the woman whose faith helped her Bmake it through
When she was F#raped and cut up, left for dead in a trunk,
But her beBliefs held true
D# It doesn't C#matter if it's Breal or not
Cause D#some things are C#better left withBout a doubt and
D# If it C#works and it Bgets the job done...
D# Somehow no matter what the Bworld keeps turning
F# Somehow we get by without C#ever learning
D# Somehow no matter what the Bworld keeps turning
