I do not take either the bible or religion literally, but rather poetically. And I believe that the poetic can be just as real as anything--even science. Pure science is atheistic and anti-poetic. And many atheists reject the poetic. However, many of the great scientists, awed by existence, have needed to resort to the poetic.

For example: There are moments when one feels free from one's own identification with human limitations and inadequacies. At such moments one imagines that one stands on some spot of a small planet, gazing in amazement at the cold yet profoundly moving beauty of the eternal, the unfathomable; life and death flow into one, and there is neither evolution nor destiny; only Being. - Albert Einstein
