Genesis 2:7
King James Version
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul.
I saw them in a dream,
many many years ago.
All huddled together.
THREE molecular biologists.
Looking worried,
oblivious to my presence.
We were inside a church,
strange thing.
One was American;
another, German.
But the French,
he comes by my way.
Smiles, and hands me,
a card with his name on it.
Michel,
the friendly French scientist.
But you see,
it was just a dream.
Of how the scientists know,
something we don’t.
I was the outsider,
looking in.
