Mystery (Apr. 6)

Sure we all might enjoy sitting down and reading or watching a good mystery unravel in a story but why is it that there are certain mysteries we feel the need to unravel? When it comes to the stories there is always an end or a reveal at some point that satisfies the need to know but what would it be like if you could simply let the mystery be a mystery? Science, in essence, has always been about solving the mysteries of life and the way things work on our planet and in our universe. Science has become so prominent in this search for truth that in many circles science has become the end all be all of truth and knowledge, which cannot actually be proven scientifically. But it seems that this desire to know rather than to let something be a mystery in science has driven particular theories from a state of potential to a state of truth. In doing so, science has instead masked truth in such a way that it may be impossible to shed a theory for what is actually true as there is no mystery left. Scientists use logic in such a way that they claim not only to know all truth but to know all logic. What happens when we discover life on another planet that is even more intelligent than we are and has logical reasoning that contradicts our own? While the desire for truth is not wrong, why not live in such a way as to allow for the mystery to be present, thus leaving room for change and imagination.
