EVOLUTION V RELIGION 

By Peter Woodgate 

Strange, this theory, Darwinism,

repels God’s word, Creationism.

I wrestle with the word of God,

the miasma of Draconian laws,

dispensing with King James translation,

alternative thinking was the cause.,

Oddly though, and equally,

I find progression of the species,

difficult to understand.

We are, supposedly,

with the expansion of the brain,

to ensure a better future,

but, proceeding on this path,

of selfishness

is doom, and soon.

I struggle on,

for nature

so beautiful, yet severe

demands “survival of the fittest”

so unfair, I hear.

However, this short-sightedness

observes just day to day,

for “out of sight is out of mind”

as the wise would say.

I toss a coin, for it appears

There’s flaws in both beliefs,

just look at the virus Covid,

it mutates to give us grief.

The Universe is meaningless

whilst appearing infinite,

we cannot understand that word,

it is beyond our sight.

Our feeble minds won’t go beyond

a start, and then an end,

we have to see some logic

if we’re to comprehend.

So, which of these beliefs

is our guiding light?

Both, it seems,

are full of woe

as day will follow night.

And on that day

I will conceive

that it is all a dream,

there is no Heaven,

there is no Hell,

and nothing can be seen.
