Do science take away awe?

Imagine yourself living before the scientific revolution. You rest when the sun sets and be awaken by its brightness as it rises. Your senses tell you the season as you smell the breeze and know it's spring time. You see the days are longer and temperature higher, and watch the leaves fall and turn brown to give way for cold air. You look up in the sky and imagine what they are. They are ever constant. Constant enough to create shapes of big and small dippers and gods and goddesses in the sky. Those days must be filled with awe. Answer to questions of why and how and what are endless books of stories shared around a fire. These stories were told more vividly and vibrantly from generation to next. Illustrations of stars and it's position in the sky, carefully scribbled along with time. And with time, comes explanation of what these bright light is called the sun. Now that we know where the seasons are from, it's from the planets rotation around the mighty ball. The twinklings are not at all a twink, but bending of light as it passes through the atmosphere. Now that we know more, are we less in awe?

Life these days are predictable to the minute. Sunrise and sunsets for the next tend days, you can name a star after you with a certificate, your calendar filled with tasks, your heart monitored, and steps counted. With all these information, does it leave us less in awe of the world and the life we live? I beg to differ!

Science has allowed us to answer the why, the what, and the how of things (not all things). But science doesn't answer the question of YOU. You are the most unique specie on earth, noone is like you, and each day I am in awe of you. For today you have the power to change what was yesterday, and tomorrow is filled with endless possibilities.

Science may tell us what the time the sun rises, but science do not know what you will do when sun rises. So make this day for the books. Make it awesomely new, awesomely unpredictable. Take that extra step.
