First cause/response

Do you understand that there is nothing inconsistent
Between the concept of the "Big Bang"
And "In the Beginning, God created the Universe"?
Just the lay of the land and the route by which
The highways were laid.
And if I continue to consider the poetic explanation
Which lays the origin at the feet of a Creator
How does that effect you
With your books and beakers and scientific process?

Perhaps not a whit. Except to say that at the end of the long day
We sit together, side by side, staring at the selfsame stars
And I should be thankful while you have
Nothing you really need to say.

I suppose we both might appreciate the light of the heavenly bodies.
