This site is dedicated to my grandfather George Adams,
another backwoods carpenter with a radiant heart.
He always had time for me.

Today we live in a world of GPS and cell phones, computers and DNA.
Our footprints are on the Moon.
Gods and goddesses, angels and demons - all are gone now,
relics of society’s stone age religions.
Time to grow up.
We need new visions - dreams of new journeys -
up to the stars,
down into our cells,
and deep, deep into the human heart.
Our footprints record our journeys:
Beginning in Kenya:
<<<<< 1,500,000 BC
Reaching to the Moon:
1969 AD >>>>>
Surveying the last 500 years of science, since Columbus sailed, here we will build a new 21st century vision of our universe. As we assemble our knowledge, a new picture of the universe will emerge - a worldview.
Worldviews are unique, like fingerprints. I have mine. You have yours. We will share ours, and others from Jesus to Einstein. Each will add to the picture, like a jigsaw puzzle.
As the picture emerges we will see things never seen before.

Come, my friends, ’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Come, my friends,
’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
— Tennyson. . .
