The biological conundrum asks: “which came first, the hen or the egg?” The theological conundrum asks which came first, “CALL-The Phenomenon of God”, or, “ANSWER-The Phenomenon of Man”?
The God-Phenomenon can be understood in context of ‘call to consciousness’, and the Phenomenon of Man can be understood as ‘conscious answer to God’s Call’. The religious conundrum is: does CALL (hen) come before ANSWER (egg), or the other way around?
If we would secure hen and the egg we must accept the essential, existential concurrency of both, as we must accept the concurrency of the ‘man-phenomenon’ and the ‘God-phenomenon’.
Which means, the only moral choice of ‘conflicted religion’ is to get on the same page with life, that is, reconcile with the existential compatibilities of biology & theology – what ‘community interfaith academies’ might accomplish at the grassroots level.
