From around 4800 BC, pictographs and hieroglyphics begin to enter the world stage. By 300 BC, higher forms of reason and logic brought about by the Greek philosophers Aristotle, Socrates and Plato made all other previous thinkers look like mere child's play ushering in inductive, deductive and intuitive thinking. The classic philosophers asked three simple and profound questions. They are; 1) Who are we? 2) Where did we come from? and 3) Where are we going?

Here, reason begins to predominate over mysticism. Mankind begins his slow advance from huddling around fires in caves, to hunting and gathering for food, to building city-states and empires, to formulating law for the common good and to overcome his personal and cultural fears of mystic beliefs. Only in the last 350 years, have historical advancements in the sciences made possible the curing of devastating diseases, putting men on the moon, understanding plate tectonics and the harnessing of nuclear energy. These advancements and others thereby allowing mankind to progress father than anyone could have dreamed or imagined. Discoveries of such monumental proportion has tremendously accelerated our achievements. Not only have we gained knowledge of who we are and where we came from, but has also has given us enough time to look up from our daily toil to seek answers clarifying and verifying our altered perception of "the truth".

In no other time in our history, have we ever before had a greater understanding of the universe, and our place in it, than now.

It is this relentless pursuit of knowledge that brings us to this point as a culture, thus allowing us to rest our tired and inquisitive eyes so that we can smile at the end of the day with some degree of satisfaction and be able to look up into the cold vacuumous, violent and expanding heavens and say, "I Know".

These great strides of astonishing scientific accomplishments and discoveries have been acknowledged quite exponentially in the fields of; philosophy, medicine, astronomy, geology, and physics.

Most importantly, our ancestral ancients classic reverence of our own free will, tested by time, reborn from revolutions against tyranny, endorsed by our own sense of enlightenment, with God fearing quest as free men, equal only to our thirst for knowledge, shall be quenched only by our love of liberty.

"Back when we had under a million people in the state, some of us would walk around with guns & knives strapped to our hip and no one would think anything about it. Then, they were just tools.
