Transcendent & Divine
Science will never prove
The existence of God
Science will never disprove
The existence of God
Its physics pre-emergent
Its logic self contained
If anything, a tool
To measure what’s at hand
But like the foundry never
Retaining the artists spirit
Quantum theory will never
Define the Creator
Both simple and complex
Defying contradiction
It’s inside the deepest paradoxes
That we come closest to God
And within those contradictions
Become truly ourselves
Emerging from the great mystery
—both transcendent and divine
