All You Have to Do is Open Your Eyes Like a Child

Do you remember the first time you realized not only is there life under water but it's life you can see.  Feel the moment.

Ed:  who is she?

Si:  the girl in the picture

Ed:  yes

Si:  yes, what?

Ed:  ok, where is the girl in the picture?

Si:  in the water

Ed:  ok, wise guy, where is the water?

Si:  in the picture

Ed:  yes, the water in the picture ... where is it?

Si:  ok, the water is on the shore of the ocean somewhere, or a lake, or a really huge backyard pond.  how should I know?

Ed:  ok, who sent you the picture?

Si:  God

Ed:  I don't think God has a camera

Si:  it came from the Internet with electrons.  I have never seen an electron and do not believe in them.  Therefore I conclude God did it.

Ed:  fair enough.  I never saw an electron either.

Si: but no-one has ever seen an electron, even scientists.  it's the Cheshire Cat of Physics.  they even have a theory to explain why you can't see electrons.  It works much like the Patriot Act.  Even though you see no terrorists, the Patriot Act shows they are there ... we just can't see them.  Honest.

Ed:  so you're saying you don't believe in God?

Si:  i'm saying I don't believe in electrons.  Thus far, I have seen no evidence God has an interest in electrons either, spiritual or otherwise.

Ed:  maybe all you need is to open your eyes like the kid.

Si:  maybe so, maybe so.



Yes, dear readers, that was the first official equation of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and the Patriot Act.  (takes a humble bow)
