		<description><![CDATA[&quot;As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.&quot; -Max Planck]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Or one could just come to terms with the idea that &lt;i&gt;everything&lt;/i&gt; we know has a certainty value attached to it less than 100%. Some things come &lt;i&gt;awfully&lt;/i&gt; close to 100%, but nothing reaches absolute certainty.

(Yes, &lt;i&gt;including&lt;/i&gt; the idea that nothing reaches absolute certainty. God hasn&#039;t revealed anything to me, but if that happened I might have to change my mind about &#039;nothing is utterly certain&#039;.)]]></description>
