Humankind has been grasping for knowledge
from the beginning,
fear of the unknown was always forbidding.
Why does the wind blow?
Why does the sky crack open with light,
sound and fury?
Why do the oceans roil with such anger?
How does the unknowing mind handle such things?
Gods is what we said.
It’s gods that make all the unknown knowable.
This work for us,
it help it makes sense.
As time went on we learned things,
we learned why the wind blows,
why the sky cracks open with light, sound and fury,
and why the ocean roils with such anger.
As our knowledge grew the gods began to melt away,
so now for many at least there is just one.
We have gathered up great knowledge
over time and have eliminated
many gods along the way.
One big question we’ve not yet answered is,
were do we go when we die?
A great unknown to be sure.
God is the answer for some.
It helps them make sense.
God is the one!

Thanks COLIN for a great poem as we move into a NEW YEAR 2017 "In the beginning ~ GOD ~ created the Heavens (The Universe) and the Planet Earth" That is the first verse in the BIBLE and if we can (by faith) believe that ~ the rest of the BIBLE make sense. I am a Scientist ~ but I am only thinking God's thoughts after Him. God is both immanent and transcendent in the Universe which is why there is Beauty ~ Order ~ Purpose & Design and not CHAOS. All the evidence points to the fact that there PROBABLY IS A GOD ! With GOD everything in the Universe makes profound sense ! Without GOD everything is just a mystery ! I agree with you ~ thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN Please check my Poems ~ Thanks B
