Both myth and science are expressions of the world — characteristic of the human drive to self-expression. Each involve or presuppose intuition and creativity. But self-expression demands a presence, for which it occurs.

This presence is the environing world of being and becoming as to the nature of things (de rerum natura). Thus does the thinking, creative, intuitive creature express itself in and for its world. In expressing itself it becomes at once self-aware and happily aware of the world — it makes a statement that makes sense of and joyfully lays claim to and otherwise affirms the world as it is — as it worlds.

Nothing human, no aspect of the environing world is excluded from either mythology or science.
