On Being an English Major, Biology Minor

How could I study Biology without first studying literature? For it is in the latter that I make the deepest discoveries about reality, spirituality, human nature, symbolism, and ultimately the Trinity. Outside of an understanding of these immaterial truths, how could I ever make a proper estimation of the value of the material--the substantial, the physical--world? To ignore the first in favor of an all-consuming obsession with the second is what I am convinced has led to the theories of evolution and natural selection becoming the dominant explanations for the origins of the universe. It is through reading stories that I have come to accept the Mystical and the Mysterious in all their powers of inspiring awe, and in all their capacities for pointing me to the authority of a Father, the arms of a Son, and the admonition of a Holy Spirit, with increasing adoration for all three. I cannot help but breathe poetry when I smell dandelions, and see God when I read poetry.
