"Jacob's Dream" I visited the Loretto chapel in Santa Fe and there is a
story behind the construction of the beautiful spiral staircase which
leads to the choir loft . Apparently, it was built by a stranger to the
nuns there, a carpenter who designed and built it out of wood that is
not found in that region, and who disappeared as mysteriously as he had
appeared. I have my own opinion about who that man was, but to me, the
spiral staircase looks much like a strand of DNA, the double helix, which
form the building blocks of our very bodies. The spiral form is repeated
in the galaxy, and angels ascend and descend the staircase. I hear the
music of the spheres, not a big bang. Intelligent design indeed.
