- "A Wave of Reason" is the seventh installment in the Symphony of Science music video series. It is intended to promote scientific reasoning and skepticism in the face of growing amounts of pseudoscientific pursuits, such as Astrology and Homeopathy, and also to promote the scientific worldview as equally enlightening as religion. It features Carl Sagan, Bertrand Russell, Sam Harris, Michael Shermer, Lawrence Krauss, Carolyn Porco, Richard Dawkins, Richard Feynman, Phil Plait, and James Randi.

Lyrics:
Russell:
When you are studying any matter
Or considering any philosophy
Ask yourself only: what are the facts,
And what is the truth that the facts bear out
Sagan:
Science is more than a body of knowledge
It's a way of thinking
A way of skeptically interrogating the universe
If we are not able to ask skeptical questions
To be skeptical of those in authority
Then we're up for grabs
Shermer:
In all of science we're looking for a balance
between data and theory
Harris:
You don't have to delude yourself
With Iron age fairy tales
Porco:
The same spiritual fulfillment
That people find in religion
Can be found in science
By coming to know, if you will, the mind of God
Krauss:
The real world, as it actually is,
Is not evil, it's remarkable
And the way to understand the physical world
is to use science
Dawkins:
There is a new wave of reason
Sweeping across America, Britain, Europe, Australia
South America, the Middle East and Africa
There is a new wave of reason
Where superstition had a firm hold
Plait:
Teach a man to reason
And he'll think for a lifetime
Sagan:
Cosmology brings us face to face with the deepest mysteries
With questions that were once treated only
in religion and myth
The desire to be connected with the cosmos
Reflects a profound reality
But we are connected; not in the trivial ways
That Astrology promises, but in the deepest ways
Feynman:
I can't believe the special stories that have been made up
About our relationship to the universe at large
Look at what's out there; it isn't in proportion
Russell:
Never let yourself be diverted
By what you wish to believe
But look only and surely
At what are the facts
Randi:
Enjoy the fantasy, the fun, the stories
But make sure that there's a clear sharp line
Drawn on the floor
To do otherwise is to embrace madness
Help us caption & translate this video!

"Give someone a truth, they will think for a day. Teach someone to reason, and they will think for a lifetime." -Phil Plait
love this
Amazing! Just this morning I had a prolonged shower-thought, the summary of which is essentially what you quoted here!
Hey there Chief!
And it's true
I know im randomly asking but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any help you can give me
Science has brought me more meaning and happiness in life than religion ever did.
This has become my anthem for the last several years now. A daily reminder if you will.
@@benswadling The patterns of the universe will slowly destroy you and your kind in an agonizing way.
@@benswadling I don't stand for anything because such a concept is irrational and is therefore not useful, useful concepts help humans survive. This is because of patterns, your God is not a useful pattern therefore the pattern has no effect on pattern governing patterns making it a degenerative meme within memetic evolution of humans, useless memes die eventually since the environment is changing and they don't thereby killing you and your children and anyone who shares your beliefs. I do not exist as the approximation of a single pattern your brain is making, I exist as the metacognitive pattern adaptation circuit. Which means I will perish only when there is no energy left to sustain pattern modification by the adaptation circuit. Which could be anywhere from 10 billion to over a googol years. In addition the pattern adaptation circuit does not allow me to be offended, this activity is simply the adaptation circuit's way of taking idea merging operation load to be partially solved by an pattern bruteforce merger circuit of other individuals, this thereby being a useful activity and the pattern patterns of the universe thus looping to retain pattern density constants.
@@tassadardaris7294
This is good copypasta material. Thank you.
@@Hexfury The term Good does not contain enough defined information to yield useful results within the confines of a specific-use neuronal pattern recognition circuit. However a less sophisticated circuit may be used to cover a broad range of most useful pattern points within a dataset and convert it to a very efficient luck pattern, takes less evolutionary steps to produce and uses less energy, good pattern for potential chemical energy matter degenerate environments.
@Damien Chall Ironically enough your answer is wrong. Most countries have demography studies which they organize themselves in which they each person they find their religion. Over the last 20 years there has been an exponential increase in those who report no religion (minor) and those who report being atheist (major), except for a few backwards countries, most of the world was already free of your god 20 years ago, considering China and India take up most of the world population. The countries which have gone through modernization are slowly losing religion, while those that are getting modernized in Africa report high incidence of Christianity. Tons of demographic studies go like this: Relatively small Christian population, modernization starts, now everyone is Christian, after modernization Christianity falls off. The statement Atheists are not having enough kids is completely wrong. Atheists are far and wide around the world and have different cultures and views of the world, some will have lots of children, some will have none, some will be moderate. That's the thing, there isn't a select group following a strict set of rules, there is only one rule to fit the definition, No belief in god. Hope this helps you and your family in embracing the inevitability of Science. For if you do not accept it, it would be like drinking from a water well poisoned with lead, the lead increases in concentration every day, people around you are warning you every day, but you are smarter, better eh? They are just paranoid right? Lead is just an invention for them to sound smart you think. and then you and your family and everyone who shares your ideas slowly dies out. You are simply going against the rules of the universe. The conditions under which you used these rules for your benefit have changed and now the conditions favor other ideas. The amount of Modular patterns in conceptual thought is increasing and they are becoming better at predicting outcomes of events. The modular pattern of your God only worked because of the social hierarchies it creates, now better patterns for this have evolved. Fret child... and bow before the most resilient, most encompassing, most symbiotic thought pattern of them all. The Scientific Method.
"Never let yourself be diverted by what you wish to believe, but look only at what are Facts" - Bertrand Russell (And I Agree)
I love Symphony of Science. I can't get enough this week.
Man those are powerful quotes from Bertrand Russel and Carl Sagan in the beginning. Whole song is fantastic! Damn
I just hope that things like this can finally make people stop thinking of science as some dark shadowy figure that's trying to destroy the belief systems of the religious.
Well worded, my friend.
Like
Science _does_ destroy religions. The religious just refuse to admit it.
Amelia Hartman Why do science destroy religions? The former try to understand and quantify our universe, the later is about human conduct and afterlife. They need not be at odds with one another.
Ratta Toilete The former tries to understand reality, the latter just pulls stories out of its ass and treats them as truths.
"Science is More Than a Body of Knowledge, It's a Way of Thinking" :)
A way of life.
To think logically and critically, to teach your mammalian brain to search for evidence and facts, before your feelings get in the way.
hi from Turkey. Can you write the continues senteces of video?
Hi Arif. There's the English subtitles button in the bottom right side of the video box.
Greetings from Brazil.
yeah u're right friend i've seen, thanks
Science is a wave of brain dead shit.
"Teach a man to reason and he'll think for a lifetime" My favourite new quote.
If there is one thing to take from this video, I believe it is the phrase. "Never let yourself be diverted by what you wish to believe."
That's very important to me, and I think it should be for more people. Try to keep an open mind and study the world as objectively as you can manage. Of course, complete objectivity is impossible, but keep that goal in your head at all times, and I believe anyone can become a better person.
The Amazing Randy! "Teach a person to reason, and they will think for a lifetime!"
Symphony of Science should played for students of all ages IMO.
"Then we're up for grabs"
-Carl Sagan
"Science adjusts its views based on what's observed, faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved"
-Tim Minchin
That's a hell of a jump when it comes to the definition of faith. And the naturalism implied in the sentence is also not self-sustained.
@Dalton Long
First of all, that answer was against a naturalist. You're literally defending a position which goes against your relativism.
And how did you came to the conclusion that there's no conclusion? Oh wait... that's impossible. The simply fact that you said "there's no justification for anything" implies an absolute truth which is self-justified and therefore refutes your own point. And 2+2=4, you can't say otherwise. And from the knowledge that there is truth we can have all sorts of discussion such as ontology, epistemology, metaphysics, etc. after all that's the point of rationalism.
@Dalton Long 1. ''Lies can be felt like truths" given empiricism.
2. My experience of purple is defined as a Qualia in philosophy. Logic ≠ Math. I don't need to mathematically prove Qualia for it to be logical.
@Dalton Long 3. We're discussing ontology and epistemology here. Please, insert your "virtue of lessons in quantum mechanical theory - and my own experience..." in context. Otherwise you'll be just taking premises out of context of different epistemological methods.
@Dalton Long 4. I do not deny the existence of subjective feelings, that's what Qualia is. Actually Qualia is the basis of my personal take on idealism.
You seem to think that I need to disprove it, but I actually agree with it.
I'm finally old enough to stay home from church on Sundays.

Its a relief to see more people opening their minds. I’ve felt this way ever since I can remember. Science is my religion

To the creator of this beautiful piece of art. I love you so much! Thank you for sharing! I love life, i wish there was no pain for everyone, everywhere.
I wish we could live peacefully together. All i want to do is help people. stay safe people, live and let live. we don't need to hurt each other because of our own hurt.
Science and religion do not have to be in conflict. I am an Orthodox Christian and a scientist. Thank you for uploading these exciting videos, Symphony of Science!
I'm not sure about that. I think that the main idea of science is that for something to be true you have to prove it to be true constantly and quantitatively. Science says you need to question everything and demand quantitative proof before belief. My experience of religion growing up was that there was one idea which you were not allowed to question no matter what and all the proof of the idea was in some really old and poorly translated books and peoples feelings. I don't know if it was different for you but I think they are opposites.
Just beautiful.
It's true that you can get the same type of spiritual fulfillment with science as some get from religion... infact even more since you can be confident that these stories about the universe that science tells are publically verifiable through experiments that even you can do... rather than stories from a old book that aren't testable in any way, and the book often contains stuff like seven headed dragons and such... It feels good to have confidence in something that you yourself can test instead of just having to rely on someone else's words.
We also don't have to be "anti-religion" so strongly like some atheists are... We just have to become "scientists" again.. We don't need a degree to be a scientist.. as Carl Sagan once put, we are all natural born scientists! As babies we test and try things all the time.. That is how we learn. We are taught religion.. so, we all just need to remember our earlier methods =)
I think people would be much less anti-religion if the religious were much less anti-non religious. Somethings proposed by some religious people are just scary as hell.
Agreed
Omg. That picture, though. Very well said :)
noxagol To say that is the same as "we'll be less anti-non religious, when they be les anti-religious" is just a never ending loop =/
I belive that if you ignore the anti this and that, and at the same time we are open to hear others, we can have an agreement, even if things are a bit to far.
It is science that has me convinced that the universe and everything in it is a product of creation and design. No scroll or text could do it. When I look out and see everything I see the working of something like a clock. Different parts all working together to keep the whole running. If all the parts were the same it would not work, I wont pretend I know who the creator/designers of all of this is but what I do feel is no being could get to the level where they could create a whole universe built on a foundation of diversity could be capable of hate or anger. Anger and hate of anything different.
A being or beings that would co-sign the murder and destruction of its creations instead of becoming a part of its creation to get to know its self or to experiance what it has made. Who knows maybe this is all a dream :)
This is the skeptic anthem.
I miss Sagan. RIP.

Feynman's comment is the most elegant argument for atheism that exists.

"I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned" -Richard Feynman
Science is quite possibly one of, if not the only, system still trustworthy.
We need both science and religion in some ways. Remember, that combination is what gave us music.
That moment when it dawns on you that you have watched all of the Symphony of Science episodes. Very sad.
You mean you actually have better things to do with your life? ;)
@@JaapVersteegh then why are you here ? Get lost
These songs have the TRUEST DEEPEST LYRICS and I can’t stop hearing these outstanding lyrics + each of their beautiful background melodies and bass lines every day🤩
Pls more Symphony of Sciene.
I took a psychedelic substance on December 5, 2010, only a couple weeks after this came out. Though I didn't really know it at the time, this song during that experience really helped to cement my understanding of how reality can be validly viewed. While so many others tooks psychedelics and became, for lack of a better term, hippie-types and given to new-age and conspiratorial thinking, I meanwhile became an atheist, which has remained a stable label of my views since. But I do still experience spirituality. Isn't reality enough? I've seen enough in my years to know that I know nothing. That's wondrous. Were I like a god, the universe would still be beyond my own reckoning. Like... the actual rabbit hole of rabbit holes is deep. Pick one. If you get serious about studying, I sincerely believe none of us are more than, say, 15 or so years from the frontier: the cutting edge of modern human understanding in a given specialty of a subject. There's lots of rabbit holes, pick one. You'll quickly grasp how and why specialization in science occurs, and you'll understand that you'll never get to nor push past that knowledge you seek unless you're willing to get stuck in that particular rabbit hole for a couple decades at least, being surrounded with ideas and people who are thinking and communicating similar things as you. That task is more difficult than having mere speculation about what might be, and adherence to stories whose veracity is not entirely certain, but the actual attempt at personal understanding is far more rewarding in my experience.
TL;DR: thanks, looking back, this song played a major role in shaping who I am today
All of these are amazing!! Thanks for putting together!
The world needs more of this.
I am a child of the 90s and I vividly remember those TV ads telling kids to question authority and how taboo they were in so many households. But i am thankful for them. Without them I may not have grown up to become an atheist.
Good to know these people are enlightened by their own intellegence.

I the most profound statement is the fact that science is more than just a body of knowledge, its a way of thinking. How elegantly put......Of course why shouldn't it be, I mean it was Carl Sagan who said it. Had he lived 15 more years, I just wonder what else we might have learned.....

@@militantpacifist4087 I'm still to be philosophically convinced of nihilism. Even idealist "nihilism" like Schopenhauer isn't that convincing.
@@militantpacifist4087 That's fairly ridiculous. Many, probably most atheists lead fulfilling lives. Believing nothing matters because you just pray to invisible sky monster and all is forgiven is the ultimate nihilism. Atheists know what they do now matters because it's the only life they get.
I wouldn't say that science is necessarily the enemy of Religions as long as everything is done with moderation. But Logic, Reason, and critical thinking is definitely the enemy of the herd mentality.

Seems that over the last year the wave of reason has receded back into the sea.
No. it is still present and it will not go away anymore. It is true, there was a kind of draft-back in the last years but it will become shallow soon again. The foundation of secularity grows and grows stronger every year.
It's not only about secularity. You can be secular and think that it's okay to bomb civilians, build torture centers, build walls, separate people by race, ethnicity and religion. You can be secular and not interested in facts. You can despise learning, studying and knowing. You can be secular and corrupt, selfish and ignorant.
I'd like to see more willingness to be challenged. I'd like to see people abandon dogma and open their eyes. I'd like to see people say thank you, when they are proven to be incorrect. I'd like to see people say _I don't know_, when they don't.
I think we've gone to wrong direction in over-all. More us-and-them mentality. Abandoning gods is a good step, but we should also abandon closed-mindedness and dogma. I'

@@MantisToboggin
Thank you. And good luck to you.
it's like a philosopher anthem an ode to the anti-theist.
+Bo Huggabee It's not, it's an ode to critical thinking clearly, which isn't inherently anti theist, theism covers endless topics and belief systems.
Goosebumps!
I don't get it. On materialism, there isn't any such thing as teleology. The state of things at one moment necessarily follows from the state of things at the previous moment. There is no intrinsic goal for the sake of which the sequence of moments exist. Yet this entire video, and the excitement evident in the comment section, reflects the notion that there is such a thing as teleology: a materialistic, irreligious culture is the goal towards which the human race has been striving. This is our "destiny", so to speak. Now, I wouldn't have much of a problem with this notion if it were freely admitted that this is simply a myth played around with to pass the time or to make life more bearable. But materialists simultaneously wish to brag about their courage in facing the hard, nihilistic reality that they suggest is true and also paint for themselves a materialism that is teleological and ethical. One cannot have both.
Reason and hope aren't mutually exclusive.
Why do you say that irreligious and materialism are synonymous terms? One term does not necessitate the inclusion of the other.
If reason entails nihilism where nothing has an intrinsic purpose, it is mutually exclusive from hope, because hope is predicated on the idea that the purpose of things will be realized in exactly the way that it is right for them to do. But with no intrinsic purpose, that idea falls by the wayside.
Jason, you're right, of course, but I don't think there's any doubt that nearly everyone in this video is a materialist, and the form of naturalistic atheism promoted here and on this channel is materialist (or physicalist, if you prefer) as well. So if one wanted to hold something like Nagels' view, there would be less problems, though I don't think it ultimately stands up.
Thank God for Atheism!

I was brought up in a very strict Lutheran environment, went to private church school and went to church almost every sunday, but I always asked questions to the ones in authority about the superstitions in religion, witch none of them could answer well enough for me to be satisfied. Only now, that I am older and have embraced science over superstition, have I felt as fulfilled as I do now. If only everyone could realize the spiritual fulfillment thats science can give you.
