The Quantum Leap Will Be a Leap of Faith

Faith in the World to Come

There is no theory of quantum gravity
Because–
Einstein notwithstanding–
No one understands gravity
 
There is no theory of God
Because–
Moses notwithstanding–
No one understands God
 
What else do gravity and God have in common?
 
In the finite physical world
Struggling with gravity
Provides all of your strength
 
And in the infinite spiritual realm
Struggling with God
Provides all of your strength
