THE BOOK OF THE VIP
CHUCK
The way science has been going
Chapter 7
gAnd then they had to swallow the part about the earth not being flat,
2hBut round,
3iLike an orange or a basketball,
4Which didn’t make sense at all,
5jUnless you believed the part about gravity keeping everybody from falling off the earth,
6But they bought it eventually anyway.
7And then they had to give up the part about the earth being the center of the universe,
8kSo they could believe the part about the planets revolving around the sun,
9lAnd the moon revolving around the earth,
10And the sun revolving around the center of the mgalaxy,
11Which was hard to do,
12Because when you think about it,
13That kind of a universe makes Mankind seem pretty insignificant.
14But they accepted it anyway because it made them feel pretty smart to have figured it all out,
15And if they got good enough at science, what couldn’t they figure out?
