Yes We Can
"Yes we can!" is our statement of determination to succeed. There are those who say that the Church of Reality isn't a real religion. Many believe that we will digress into corruption and become another money grubbing religious scam. Some say that our moral values will never rise to the level of other religions. Many believe that we'll never amount to anything, that we are just a fad, and that we'll soon be forgotten. They say that humanity is too corrupt and doesn't deserve to survive. That human nature is inherently evil or that we are unworthy. They say that the end of the world is inevitable. To those who doubt if we can make it happen our reply is, "Yes we can!"

Anything you can do we can do better. We can do anything better than you. Yes we can, yes we can!

The universe isn't fair or compassionate. Unless a deity shows up and becomes an omnipotent father figure, we have to assume that we are alone and that we are responsible for our own survival. Very few planets can sustain life let alone intelligent life. There is no other planet in the universe that has people like us. We exist because we survive and if we fail to continue to survive, then we will no longer exist. If we, as a species, fail to make good choices, we will end up on the Path of Extinction.

"Yes we can" is like the Principle of Positive Evolution. It's not a belief that we can base on nothing, or hope, or Faith. It is a statement of determination that we commit ourselves to making it happen. We commit to getting the job done. We are going to defy the odds. We are going to succeed. We are going to survive and prosper. We will make tomorrow better than today and to those who think we can't do it, Yes we can!
