“Follow the science” – isn’t that what we’re told? Only what is science and how is it supposed to lead? Surely the human imagination runs ahead of science, determining the questions and aims we consider important. And what of science and religion – are they really the mortal enemies we’ve been led to believe? C.S. Lewis suggested that “In Science we are only reading the notes to a poem; in Christianity we find the poem itself.” How is science poetic, or poetry scientific? For one thing, science without imagery remains mute: no waves, fields, or minds hard-wired. Poetry, for her part, without honest attention to the world in all its depths turns blind. Each holds Truth in highest regard, while approaching from opposite ends. For our Feb 2025 issue of inScribe, we are inviting new and creative explorations of the many and varied meeting points of science and imagination – so start theorising and get scribing!
