No Room For God

A most genius, scientific mind, whom I respect,
with chalkboards full of numbers and symbols;
such mathematical equations and theories
as to boggle the ordinary mind, spoke these words,
"No room for God."
I find that odd.

The same words spoken to Mary and Joseph.
The irony couldn't be stranger,
thus Jesus, born in a manger.

Everything so condensed to nothing, given birth with a bang.
How long was nothing, nothing; till it became everything?
Who knew or made a difference in the two?
What was the cause of this evident explosion?
The answer isn't odd.
It, my friend, was God.

He reveals himself through numbers and scientific discoveries.
From infinities our minds can't see,
and so small the number three.

He himself, father, son and holy spirit;
we being body, mind and soul.
And the great scientific discovery of atoms;
even those three parts well known.
So let us give a nod.
There is only room for God.

He is Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end'
Jehova and The Great I Am,
Jesus, the precious Lamb.

Author's note:
What some call universal intelligence;
I call God.
I will not deny him.

Arlene, perhaps the "genius, scientific mind" meant "No room for your God" as he was quite happy with his. This poem is nicely woven about the endless(?) debate. Congrats on you placement.

Thank you so much, Robert my friend. I do not pretend to understand the awesomeness of God, for even he says we cannot understand his mysteries. Anyone who thinks they have it all figured out gives me pause.. Hugs.. Arlene

Arlene, most religious or spiritual poems are boring because of their "sameness" but you have created a poem that is unique and that really held my interest. I too have felt many of these "ideas" but never expressed them so well as you did inside this poem. It reminded me a lot of that movie I saw recently: god is not dead. Did you see it? Anyway, this is REALLY good writing. A FAVE

Hi Arlene, nice to know you: A beautiful comparison of Science and God. Most people get so involved with facts and figures and lose sight of a Divinity. Some evidence should be based on Faith. Great Write!
