Science in a Nazarene\'s hair
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow! Profound, my friend. In this I see a wisdom often absent from most discussions on science and religion, often treated as if one is familiar and superior and the other foreign and primitive. Any who are classically trained, however, understand that theology, just like biology or physiology, is one of many schools of science. It is only until more recently that we\'ve limited the word science to mean \"the natural sciences\". Still, all of the sciences, while unique and distinct, do intersect at points and places. And each has their place and wisdom to impart. Even \"dead\" religions and theologies have much to teach us about ourselves, if nothing else. No science, therefore, is foreign to the other, no matter how much it may seem so. In essence, there\'s science in religion and religion in science, both roads lead to deeper human understanding, if harnessed by the right people in the right ways. If not...well, we\'ve all seen the consequences of that both in science and religion. Anywho, this poem has teeth and they really tear through many myths. It doesn\'t take a side, it just presents the view. I love it. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

I read several of your poems.
Words are chosen and set like artisans decorate their clay pots. With patience and oassion.
I like descriptions of the nature.
Someone who observe the nature with passion can send a message to readers and place the moment of nature play into their minds.
That is a gift
Thanks for sharing your poems and thank you for the comments you give on my poems.

Science in a Nazarene\'s hair
Friendship said:
A Nazarene generally regards science as a valid means of understanding God\'s creation, believing that science and faith can coexist, which typically involves embracing theistic evolution and viewing science as a tool to comprehend God\'s creation, while maintaining a strong emphasis on faith and holiness. In the Old Testament, a Nazirite is an individual who undertakes a vow to consecrate themselves to God, involving abstention from certain practices, including cutting their hair for a predetermined period. They are permitted to groom their hair with their fingers or scratch their head, but are prohibited from using a comb or chemical depilatories, which may pull out or damage hair. Your poem explores the relationship between knowledge, science, and belief, contrasting the unkempt nature of true wisdom with the often conformist tendencies of societal beliefs. It suggests that embracing both scientific inquiry and spiritual understanding can lead to a more holistic view of truth. You address the tension between rigid belief systems and the fluidity of knowledge, using the metaphor of hair to symbolize the complexity of thought and existence. It invites the reader to appreciate the natural, sometimes chaotic, beauty of both science and spirituality.

The lines are wonderful, connecting two things I have little knowledge of in one write, science and religion, I would say there is some of each in each, was a very enjoyable read

Tristan Robert Lange said:
The metaphor of the \"fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil\" found in Genesis comes through in this poem without ever mentioning it. Even the ancients understood that knowledge is what we all seek after as human beings, but it is knowledge and curiosity for it that leads us to our peril...to our being expelled from the paradise of innocence. The question is, if offered once more the blue pill (paradise) or the red pill (leave the damn matrix and see the world for what it is on our own ), which would we choose? Not sure. There are days I would say paradise. Other days, I am here in the storm brooding but grateful. At this point more the latter than the former, but lost and MISSED innocence is a thing. Great write here, Soren! A total fave. 🌹🕯️

By observation we send of our offspring into the world via school, etc. And they come home someone else’s child (teknon) as technology is the child of applied sciences so are ours the children of social experimentation. But that’s just my opinion 🙏🏻🕊️

The world certainly has turned bad, your language and powerful imagery in this is flawless. There is so much wrong, I was reflecting on the fact human touch will soon be a thing of the past, and our world will be left to trolls sitting behind their computer screens causing others harm. 🌹
