NO DICHOTOMY BETWEEN GOD & SCIENCE

NO DICHOTOMY

There is no dicotomy
      Between God and Science.
Scientific discovery
      Is the unfoldng knowledge
            Of God's mind.

(In counterbalance to the minister:)
      "There can only be one truth!
             (There are a million.)
      "God cannot, He will not allow!"
             (God does everyday as He watches us fall.)
      "No television! No comics! No dancing!" he says.
      "They are the devil's workshop...
      "God will never allow man to go to the Moon!"

All these things the pastor said
(as I made my roof and steeple)
If God is love,
      What is he talking about?

Sunday morning sermons,
      Circa 1949,
Made me go straight out of my mind.
Whatever is he saying?
The man is a fool.

God speaks of loving one another
      As He has loved us;
Science writes the poetry of God's mind.

There is no dicotomy
      Between God and Science.
Scientific discovery
      Unravels the mysteries of God's mind.

Scientific discovery is the unfolding
      Knowledge of God's mind.
