Dear Nikola,

Regarding Darwin vs. Genesis, I may be going, or I may have gone off the deep end, but I presume to identify in the Creation myth, - and remember that I consider all language mythical -, fundamental issues of language, knowledge and belief, in fact the very same issues I must address in my prospective sonnets or odes to Chronos. I must try to understand and to explain the subjective and objective, the spiritual and social function of a god as a pseudo-person who a) knows, and b) acts. How is divine existence (being) related to the subjective existence of the individual?  How is the divine work-product related to the human work-product, and vice versa? In trying to cope with these issues, I may be biting off much more than I can chew, especially in consideration of my abysmal dentition. More on all this later. For now, good night. EJM
