Fundamental, My Dear Fellow

Fundamental, my Dear Fellow My dearest evolutionist, Creationists might say You've not convinced real Christians yet That creatures in hard clay Are in anyway connected  With the way the World was built - Ascribing primal truth to them Is stupid to the hilt. Those trilobites and dinosaurs, And fossils such as that, Were put there by Almighty God When all the earth was flat And, when the world got rolled Into the ball we see today, Those bones and things were buried So they wouldn't rot away.  God did all this so you could play At being smarty pants And screw the stupid government For scientific grants. He never really thought that you'd Believe His little lark - How could those damn great lizards  Ever fit in Noah's ark? Another thing!  If some “Big Bang” Had caused the world to start, How come that when it happened We were not all blown apart? Yet, here you fulminate each day ‘gainst fundamental fact, While in your body every bone Is strangely still intact. God has a sense of humour and Of that there is no doubt - That’s why he planted all these clues For you to figure out And, soon, like in a party quiz, you’ll realise what’s true And then you can enjoy yourself, As we believers do. So, dig a few more fossils up, Inscribe a few more books And, bit by bit, you’ll realise How senseless it all looks. Then, just pick up a Bible and Start reading at page one. It's right in there, the whole shebang Of where we all came from. And that, dear sir, is where I’ll end My little homily And leave you with one final thought, Have Faith, friend.  That’s the Key. It's easier to take this line - You're free of useless facts: Accept what Genesis portrays — Don’t think!  Believe!  Relax!
