The first fact is motion. After this fact the other facts are merely pleasurable. First, the motion of the mind in its first act of discovery. Next fact is the motion of the Earth in rotation and in orbit around the sun. This fact leads to a pleasurable sense when contemplating the facts that exist on the surface of the planet. Next fact: The motion of all the planets, the sun, the galaxy, the universe itself as a whole in and for itself, expanding, all these motions simultaneous and in concert and with mystery on mystery. Next fact: Distance followed by the treasure of discrimination. The universe takes on the form of a cube with the eye in the center, able to carry in it depth and the relation that creates depth.

One imagines the Earth, then, suspended and suspended not on or by anything substantial but a play of forces. For the sake of perception one imagines the light years below the ground one is standing on, the light years above and to the sides and the fact that science and probing make things tenuous.

There is a strange and liberating feeling to construct the universe from the "big bang," to the expansion. And finally, isn't it true that religions are society and static while science is individual and therefore progressive and adventuresome?
