Getting my beliefs challenged

I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate.

Tomorrow will not be like yesterday, even if I do nothing. I find that that bothers me. And being bothered by change bothers me. I used to willingly embrace anything new and different. I still do that to some degree. I bought a domain and have started to build my website there using iW
