i think neither of them 'won' but also neither 'lost'... cause both sides are just... viewpoints... and to each side theirs IS right... but in reality, its all just beliefs and beliefs aren't really proof one way or another... to prove would be to take away belief... and i'm rambling...

anyways, beautiful, love all your stuff...

as one reviewer said: if only both sides would get along, it would be a perfect place

'that father lay

on his sunny back'

Very powerful, I liked that line.

No, I have to say the priest one. He was infinitely more profound (if only I could be an unbiased Catholic, sigh...).

if only they would get along, in equilibrium, the world would be a utopian place.

Ick. Science vs religion. Love the poem, hate the topic.

the priest XD

Wow, you make it hard to decide!

If there is one thing I do believe, it is balance. The thing is... I beleive all beings (besides humans) are forced upon instinct. Flowers, etc. do have instinct - and rely on JUST that. They have no way of showing us otherwise. In that - instinct is amazing. Here's a haiku I never submitted about it:

The monkey tosses

A ball sack to androids, with

Man in the middle

Fertility and the reachability of it when science is involved, hmm?

As for who wins... I'll call it yin-yang.

i concur in the most profound sense of concurrence.
