The distance between the Big Bang and the Seventh Day
isn't measured in light years, carbon dating
or the number of begats in a book.
It's measured by the weight
of gravity as God and
science are crushed
in the black hole
of a family
reunion
.

God and science are related and they, like families, have spats...

I have been saying this for a very long time..

Well done.

When it comes down to it, we are all related in some sense. That is going to be some reunion. Enjoyed the perspective of this and the way it wakes up the mind to ponder.

Very clever, and very entertaining. I'm nervously considering being drawn into such a black hole, and never being able to escape.

Yo Critical mass,

Sounds reasonable to me. Black holes are very heavy.

why you think I've been sick.
