Humankind has not created the universe. Humanity is part of the creation and is bound by it. In an attempt to explain creation to itself, humankind has developed a science lexicon which reveals his ignorance.
CREATION
Alpha, beta, showers of gamma,
Ray to particle, X to Vee ....
Thus irradiated — charge invested
The cosmos came to be.
There is belief in natural theory,
Atom chain, ring and cycle ....
Neutrons, protons, fusion, fission
Governed by law and reason.
There is belief that creation
Flash-burned, waved & mushroomed out -
Charge-exchanged ... cascaded forward
As a speeding blur of cloud.
Yet, whence stemmed the firstborn light?
Prime creation, blaze and glow ....
Radiating ... stream and glimmer
Across the veld of all that's known.
Whence stemmed the flames that lamp
Moon, sun and flambeau stars?
Whence came the force, the power,
The corpse of atoms — matter?
And darkness — the palpable obscure,
Creation in a pitch-black shade ...?
What has fuelled the heavenly luminants
To light and fire day?
