11/30 Uniformitarianism

I am not a religion.

I am a principle.

I enable the study of pre-history.

Because of me,

Logic springs from speculation.

Because of me,

The future is no longer mysterious.

Because of me,

The world will go on turning

Like it always has.

And no,

I will not officiate your wedding.

And no,

I will not tell you why

Other than to say

It's always been that way.

Consult a dictionary

If you still don't understand.

But if I'm correct,

You still won't understand.
