Whether we are God's creation
Progeny of Adam and Eve
Or children of the stars
And the stepping stones of evolution
Whether everything
Or nothing is a miracle
Whether scientists discover the origin of our Universe
Or theologians find irrefutable evidence of God
Whether alchemy or aliens
Whether intelligent design
Or evolutionary theory
At one point
Something arose
From Nothing
From Nothing
Whether it was the Big Bang or Seven Days
At one point
Everything as we know it
Materialized from absolutely nothing
Materialized from absolutely nothing
And that is all I need to know
There are holes big enough for our Universe
within the theories and understanding of men
Whether they wear white lab coats or ceremonial robes
Most sell false gold coated in certainty
So give me no gold, certainty or white robes
Take me away from everything
That takes me away from this
Each moment, each breath
A reminder of that pre-eternal dance
From Nothing to Something
A reminder of that pre-eternal dance
From Nothing to Something
Amazing poem! I relate. C.S. Lewis said that science may explain everything about how existence is, but it does not explain THAT it does.
