Nothing//Everything John Herlihy I believe in something I can explain it if you like Others believe in nothing Nothing to explain is what you like I believe in soul/spirit From breath to life to soul to spirit Others believe in no soul/spirit From breath to life to body to death I believe in designed order That makes the universe possible Others believe in random order That makes the universe impossible I believe in something from nothing Others believe in nothing from something What has it all to do with anything Nothing . . . everything - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Thursday 13 March 2025

THE WHATS AND HOWS....OF OUR BELIEFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO SOME. AND, WITHOUT ANY QUESTION, IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO THEM. HOWEVER, TO OTHERS...THIS MEANS NOTHING. AMEN AND PRESSING-ON. GREAT, THANKS, JOHN! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

A great take on the impossible riddle of life.

While I acknowledge that there are things unknown, without the tools and the knowledge, I choose to let others, better equipped to find out the answers, do the hard thinking.

And await their results from hard science, not blind faith.

A wonderfully tossed word salad... and so true, regardless of taste. Kudos.
