By Chance, Or By God?

If man evolved by chance, aided by his brain,
Planning each stage from cell to stance upright;
Unrivaled master in his earth terrain;
Leaving only one thinker, to man's delight;
Designing his own thumb and his great toe,
So o'er all life, he owned the greatest skill;
Word-maker, permitting each man to know
Others' thoughts, group-think greater goals fulfill!
But! How brief the span, for his brain to etch
Life's nobler feats; of rhyme; religion; art;
Higher worlds, that man might conceive, or sketch;
How scale each man's worth; grow tender group-heart!
Chance? Whence, then, man's soul? Why his moral bent*?
God alone, can do this; plan; or invent!

*bent = inherent trait

Science has achieved much in teaching men HOW things work, but it cannot tell WHY things are as they are, and it never will be able to. Why was space a mammoth void---a nothing, no matter, no solids, no gases, no heat, no light, no energy of any kind---before that silent puff of energy called the "big bang" suddenly erupted once, then never again? If there was NOTHING where the gigantic universe now expands at 186,000 miles per second, WHY did all matter, man, and his planet emerge? Albert Einstein, not a Christian, confessed that he was forced to the conclusion that some supernatural intelligence outside our universe must have existed to produce it. We Christians have a simpler ame for it: God.

Science has always assumed that chance played the only causative role in creation. That is why they continue to search for life on other cosmic bodies. Fruitlessly, I might add; I don't believe they will find life in space, except for that we have currently living in the NASA space laboratory, which we sent up there. I don't think they will find other life in space; unless they discover God's 'present' heaven; but wherever it is, it is not inside our universe.

My poem above points out that chance could hardly have produced a planet like earth after almost 14 billion years of cosmic turmoil; a planet that, even though rotating on an axis and hurtling millions of miles about a star every year, is in a very small pocket ot safety for human survival, the only such safe pocket in a massive universe; and that this man is the only animal living that has a thinking brain, two thumbs, and two great toes, without which the brain alone could hardly dominate as the man does. The odds of all this occurring by chance alone are infinitesimally small, so small that even scientists consider them zero. They are secretly highly fearful that their assumption that God does not exist has already been proved false; I know it has to me and many others.
