Duhhhh-------Otay

A well respected science guy showed me an apple.
Said it was just like people.
All life on earth came from one tiny cell that split into, that came from.......
Well, he couldn't exactly say,
but that's okay,
he really knows his stuff....

So, Mr. science guy,
did that guy just want to be an apple?
I'm a bit confused,
and thoroughly amused.
If I ate him would I be a cannibal,
like Hannibal?

He went on to explain,
that life itself evolved,
(mystery solved)
to produce a chain;
the circle of life;
a perfect order with no intelligence involved.
Only instinct of life itself to insure it's own existence.....

Duhhhh...... Otay

But tell me sir,
if intelligence was not a necessity,
considering its' complexity,
why would it come into existence?
For, because of it, in an instant,
life could go out as it came in.......
With a big bang!.....

This is great! My husband is always trying to explain science to me and 'Duhhhh otay' seems to be the best response I can come up with.

Yes, where is the logic in the Big Bang theory anyway? Loved your amusing and insightful poem, Arlene! It takes a lot more faith to believe in the Big Bang than an intelligent Creator God to explain our existence in this universe! 7 :)
