BACK COVER script for SAME AS IT NEVER WAS

Science is not wisdom anymore than a slide rule was a ruler. When you ask something to perform a function for which it was not made ...

Has it occurred to you that somewhere in the past, we as a race have lost our way?
If we could go back in time, could we set right what went wrong? Would we even recognize the moment when it all began to unravel?
That question gave birth to SAME AS IT NEVER WAS

On that great Day of which the prophets speak but in whichthey do not truly believe,

Some think I was amadman. Others just a man with special powers. Both groups are wrong.
