I’ve been reading (and reading) about different people’s models or descriptions of science-religion interaction over the past few months. In the last week I was following up some of Willem B. Drees’ work and came across this poetic creation story he wrote to introduce his book Creation: From Nothing Until Now. It ends like this,
In us
our heritage,
matter,
information,
and a box
full of stories.
Between
hope and fear
our neighbors
life
here on Earth,
between
hope and fear
the great project
of thought
and compassion
on a road
of freedom.
The full text is here: A creation story.
I like the idea of humans comprising, in part, stories.
