I remember a few weeks ago I had a bit of an odd conversation with a friend of mine I had not seen in years. We were arguing about whether God is an artist or a scientist. It was a silly argument, and I cannot even recall how it started. What started off as a silly argument changed something in me. I began to see that God is both a scientist and an artist. I realize that God means many things to many people, so when I say God, what I mean is the source of creation, whatever it may be.
If you think about how many things have to go right for you to be and stay alive, if you think about the complexity of the universe and how it works, you can begin to appreciate that the laws that keep us alive and that keep the universe working must have been created by the mind of a divine scientist. For this reality to have as much beauty as is evident in your pictures, it is fairly obvious that the source of creation is an artist as well.
Well spoken, brother. I agree that the two are not mutually exclusive, science & art (since there's art in science & science in art) and that the Divine contains both aspects. Grateful to you for sharing this meditation and that my post occasioned it.

I really love that quote. You are right, there is art in science and science in art and everybody has a capacity for both, although we are often blind to that fact.
It is the nature of finite human beings to divide, and try to categorize, viewing the word and beyond through our limited lens--but the Infinite Creator is the undivided One... the source of all things, where language fails.
