A Reassessment of Differing Views

Some feel that Bible verse conclusively Describes all life explained through liturgy. Some feel that evolution holds the key With science leading forth explicitly. Positions juxtaposed perceptibly: A purist view of Life's conformaties - A prescient view of Life's complexities - Could one more view assuage disparities? What do papyrus texts in fact convey? And, what does nature's yield expressly say? Somewhere between these two compelling sides The letter and the spirit both reside. We take from texts enough to salve our minds, And then from nature context-laden signs, With each constrained by factors of its lot. Questions for both - what is and what is not? Yet, could these sides assemble what should be - A pair of constancies through which we see Two halves converging as to form the whole Reach toward a common line that's not a goal? This dictum for another day, but now Enough for both conjointly to endow A symbiotic sense of harmony And hope - if our thoughts are inclined to be.
