GOD WAS NOT IN A HURRY

 

 

Some people still do not believe in

 

EVOLUTION

 

Apparently, it is easier to believe in

Cherubs and angels and spirits in the sky -

 

Somewhere.

 

There are still people who believe

The earth is flat.

 

There are still people who believe

God came out of the sky,

And made a man out of mud:

The Book says so.

 

No doubt life came out of the earth - 

 

Or the sky -

 

But God, the Potter,

Is a childish concept for rational adults

In our time.

 

The evidence shows

The process took billions of years.

 

Intelligent people

Will dare to look with open eyes, 

Beyond the dogmas and the pomp:

 

They will seek

A Greater Creator

Than their ancestors feared to imagine,

Or their parents dared to acknowledge. 

 

They will look outward - 

Far beyond the stars,

And inward -

Far beyond the atom,

 

They will seek to understand

The Truth

Beyond our understanding.

 

Give the Creator a little credit, folks.

His time is not our time.

God was not in a hurry to make a man.

 

Why are you in a hurry to make a God?

 

Come, let us reason together.
