Creation, myth, and scientific calculation

Across worldwide mythologies, people easily accept ancient explanations of how sky, water, and clouds came to be. Yet when approaching Genesis, our modern minds instantly seek scientific formulas and timeline debates. Reading Genesis 1 invited as written reveals profound truths about order, stewardship, and humanity's shared origin.

Walking into church with the Gita and Buddhist texts

During our early resettlement in the United States, many Bhutanese families entered American churches carrying the Bhagavad Gita and Buddhist sacred texts (बौद्ध पुस्तक). Looking back, this cross-cultural encounter reflected profound grace and high religious tolerance among our new neighbors, sparking deep spiritual reflections across faiths.

Naming creation and the beginning of knowledge

In Genesis 2, God entrusted humanity with naming each living creature, using earthly resources, and discerning moral wisdom through the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. True science begins with this biblical call to observe, classify, and carefully shepherd the universe around us.
