In a world that has been created by God, would it not make sense that we would have a longing to discover the truths that he has revealed? But often times, we are captured by the philosophy of the world, the romantic feeling that all there was, all there is and all there ever will be can be attained through our own human efforts. Captivated by ourselves, we ignore the majesty of our Creator King and make ourselves the focal point of every story. We have a choice to make. Will we be captivated by truth, by reality, by the face of God? Or will we endlessly look through the never, continuously searching, captivated by ourselves, empty and hollow inside?

Philosophy & Ethics: Says Who?
Karl Sagen might speak scientifically about the universe or the cosmos, but he definitely lacks the poetry of Metallica. If you want to hear the disquieted heart speak about the philosophy that has gripped the world put to the perfect tune for such an occasion you have to listen to "Through The Never" by Metallica. You will hear the revelation of the hollow feeling provided by the world that we have an endless twisting and turning looking into the edge of forever and never finding what we are longing for. That is the same philosophy that Sagen tries to romanticize as he speaks of the cosmos and "starstuff".
