Who thought that chucking rocks from a crooked tower
Would help shift a whole planet from its galactic centre?
As quick as a flash with descriptive, predictive power
A kettle takes longer to boil to a far flung observer.

Eve wasn't created by a guy with a great white beard,
He neatly nestled her in a nested hierarchy
Though not as regal ruler rather a monkey's peer,
An elucidation so disturbing it implies anarchy.

A proto-cyborg announces the demise of philosophy.
A fallen perfect world is the gods' delusion.
Or however above you want to affix the apostrophe,
Universal wonders are such profound profusion

I find it neither disheartening or embarrassing
Our blue-dot pales in significance in comparison.

How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, “This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant?” Instead they say, “No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.” A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.

I loved the poetry in a science lab, the dazed moth, and that cool fox ... just the sort of stuff that makes a site like this interesting ... should it stop because of cynical trolling?

Hanging to her knees.
As she ran naked through the meadows
They were flapping in the breeze.
