God and Galileo
The most common complex compound
in the milky way
is Ethyl Formate,
the chemical that gives raspberries their flavor.
God must love raspberries.
Raspberries grow in Fibonacci sequences,
like sunflowers, or nautiluses,
gifts from the oceans
revealing worlds unexplored
and knowledge yet to be obtained.
String theory exposes the nature of science –
questions without answers,
answers without seeing,
theories neither proven or disproven,
just postulated among great minds.
Questions lead to explorations,
explorations to discoveries,
discoveries to questions.
Theories give way to revision.
What we teach as solid today
shall be noted as process tomorrow,
with the methods of growth
leading to what will replace
our understanding of the future.
It is ever changing,
and to cement one’s self
to the theory of now
is to be left behind
as new images start to form.
Is what we see real?
Vision gives perception,
an observation of an event
from where we are,
just one vantage point.
46,656,000. The cube of 360.
The number of vantage points
needed to see what is really there,
uncolored by personal bias.
But can we ever observe the origin?
Time is the system of recording
4.6 billion years passing,
as reckoned by time on earth.
But from other worlds,
from other truths,
we reach a different end.
A day is worth ten thousand years,
ten thousand years passes in but a day.
As with Plato and the cave
Galileo reached the outside world
and paid the price for bringing back
the truth to those in chains.
New truths take time and development
before one reaches understanding.
Small glimpses reveal
portions of larger pictures,
as we infer the forest
from the trees.
(Or trees from the forest.)
As we search for truths veiled
by layers deep
in questions yet discovered,
we reveal pinholes in the fabric of truth,
in the hopes that one day,
in some far off future,
we may see beyond the curtain.
Science holds the key to
unmasking the other side.
Do not abandon God.
He waits for us
on the other side.
