Religious Science? Scientific Religion?

The beginning of the universe
signaled the start of a war
The beginning of the universe
pitted the natural against the supernatural

Those who looked up, into the all-seeing eyes of God, 
Believing in divine beings as the answer
And those who looked down through a microscope, 
looking to minuscule atoms to reveal all that we don't know

Books dictating religion, and wielding spears of fire,
and immortal feather-winged angels floating up above
Glorious DNA strands and double helixes, marching in perfect unison, 
and Amazon delivery drones guarding the skies

Scrambling to the battlefield to honor their mothers
between whom vast amounts of animosity existed,
only comparable with the feud between fire and water
Religion and science, two red-faced, vehement beings

Shouting matches and staring contests,
huge faces on the television screen screeching
Very amusing for outsiders, neutral, groupless fellows
Gleeful and merry, they happily mock the pointless squabble

Angels being scanned by drones with weird logos
as the baffled heavenly creatures wonder, "I thought only we could fly!"
and DNA walking unflappably into bibles and mutating them into muscular, grunting Qurans
who then ran off to dominate world wrestling

It must never once have entered their heads, 
tunnel-visioned scientist and priests alike, 
that cooperation was actually a word
So intent were they, almost happy, to insult and quarrel with each other.

Religious science, or scientific religion,
is not a thing. Not a thing,
and maybe never will, but what it is, and what it will always be, 
is a possibility.
