snipped a lot of wisdom

That reminds me of a poem I once wrote...

"To a Creationist "

Fluctuations, constant motion, is whirling round your eyes.
"Now" is fluid, it soon becomes "then"; what is, now, is not.
Prophets screaming, "Follow my way, for only *I* am RIGHT!".
The fearful follow, sheep all herded, can't contend with change.

"Show us, help us, what shall we do, we can't go on this way!".
"Tell us, Guru, how can we make it all stay just the same?".
Find a God, then make Him changeless, and teach His Word as Law.
Make change sinful, make science a crime, teach kids FAITH in school.

Don't let them ask you to show them proof, God showed you the Light.
Inquiring minds are dangerous, nip them in the bud.
They can change things even much farther from your status quo.
Dig in your heels, bury your head, and MAKE them see your way.

Earth will flatten and rest again upon a turtle's back.
Stars are then pin holes in a backdrop your God lights for you.
And safe and sound you will always be, in control again.
'Cause your God's protection is only for you, you "Good Men".

But 'ware ye sheep, there exist some wolves; seekers of the truth.
Oh, Creation they doubt not, only how and when and why?
Their universe is larger, they love a much greater God.
A God who can, in one big bang, create infinity.

An infinity of wonder, just ripe to be explored.
Magic puzzles in the night sky, lessons, truth to be learned.
Mysteries abound all around them, begging to be solved.
Their God rewards their questing with Truth in all its Beauty.

For what is more beautiful than the intricate laws that
Apply to govern all space and time, within and without?
Their God is kind enough to let them quest and understand
And appreciate creation, all, not just what they ken.

"And treasure it all," He tells them, "it is your only chance."
"It's not for you, you don't own it, it's just left in your care."
Those wolves will keep seeking, for to truly love one must 'know'.
They love a God much greater than any YOU can create.

Hugs,

CatNipped

Whoa baby! That is ELOQUENT!

Thank you. It always ****es me off when people try to circumscribe *my* God
and make him petty and small-minded. I think a God who can create infinity
is much more complicatied than *THOSE* simpletons can understand! I don't
think even the *greatest* minds of humanity could come close to
understanding Him. It would be easier for an ant to write a learned thesis
on mankind.


I completely agree with this.
