To reinterpret a famous saying: Grant me serenity over the probabilities that I can't change, the courage to change the probabilities that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Good comments, Baron.

I hope that the forces in the universe of probabilities and knowledge grants us all what you ask for in your above saying. May the force be with you as Luke Skywalker would say.
 
I appreciate your criticism.  You caused to me consider why I had give up science for mythology so easily, so as to confuse the two as you suggest.  I then realized that I had given up my faith in science in part, when science seemed to fail us and I did not have time to wait for science to succeed, and I needed answers and instant access to forces that seemed to tap into the root forces of the universe, where no formal understanding is needed.   While at the same time I had also given up my faith in God, and myth in part, to discover sciences that could save us all, that few to this day dare speak about in any formal mathematical way, such as the science of law, constitutional theory, and social theory for space age split second societies. 
 
I have written a very fine paper on constitutional history and the proposed formal science of constitutional theory that should be developed to show which forms of law and government can be modeled on computers to govern society peacefully and civilly over the ages as posted at http://www.rhfweb.com/usc.html.  Some mathematician and engineer should refine the principles of law and government far further than I have considered them so that they can be formally modeled.  Such a book on the science of law cannot be found in any law library to date, though it should be there by now, so that we could prove which laws and governments are the best at any moment in time for any type of society, and end some of the need for wasted debate, politics and warfare.
 
The one thing I did read and save on my computer about Carl Sagan as posted at his own website was his Baloney Detection Kit which lists some basic logical rules to follow to discover warning signs that suggest deception and bad science.  I was fortunate to have studied under a philosphy professor at MSU, named Professor Herbert Hendry, who wrote computer programs to teach logic and to test for flaws in logic which could be applied to read normal text in books and in papers to analyze thier logical flaws very quickly.
