The rivalry fades—
science and faith,
their contest a shadow
beneath cosmic signs.
Ancient wisdom speaks:
Darwin’s distant god,
the zeal of holy wars,
words shimmering, shifting,
visions conscripting the mind.
Scriptures etched by divine hand
challenge chaos, command order;
yet we gaze across the span
of humankind’s unfolding,
seeking the wisdom sown
in primordial seeds.
Darkness whispers probabilities—
a reconciling reality
where bibles and theories meet,
where old truths and new questions
find common ground.
Can reason unmask
the mysteries time has veiled?
Perhaps the answer waits
where logic and wonder entwine,
in the mathematics of ancient belief.
