Genes, Germs, Geodes and God

"e;Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. --Albert EinsteinGenes, Germs, Geodes and God: Verses Exploring Science, Faith, Doubt & Religionis a plentiful collection of contemporary poems highlighting the ongoing struggle between empirical science, religion, faith and ardent disbelief. Using poems surrounding logic, rhetoric, and experimental data commingled with biblical concepts, John Ross venerates the communicational vectors and conversational strategies which atheists, agnostics and robust believers alike, use in their struggle for orderly conversation. With such poems as It Is Raining DNA Outside, Chomsky-Dawkins Coalition and Earliest Moments of Microbes Develop From Nearly Nothing, this collection confirms the quip once uttered by the late Harvard Divinity School theologian Krister Stendahl, that:Religion is poetry plus, not science minus. -Krister Stendahl
