Evolution Or a Firm Resolution
EVOLUTION OR FIRM RESOLUTION
If anyone happens to mention evolution,
It could never ever be to the exclusion,
Of any faith worldwide, only to the inclusion
For all of us are steadfast in our resolution!
All of us believe in God, Maker of heaven and earth,
So let them bring on evolution, nothing to fear,
For this has happened over millions of years.
We have our faith which stands strong and true,
So let me tell you what I read and which is today present!
Johannesburg, Sterkfontein, some prehistoric few
Fossils discovered in the Cradle of Humankind,
Have become controversial, and Mrs. Ples? This find
In 1936 by Doctor Robert Broom went viral,
The whole world shocked, as the news did spiral!
Breaking news, the first ape looking human being,
Tourists from around the world have come and seen
Her skeleton, replicated but original in a secret vault,
Who, What led the archaeologists to dig up Mrs. Ples,
Carbon tests proved she was about 3 million years old,
For archaeologist this was more than finding gold!
Are science and religion beginning to talk,
About the most controversial historical fork?
Its sound very scary,
And of course we are wary,
So visit the internet and read about the cradle of humankind,
You will read of
Archaeological findings of millions of years ago,
It is important for us to know, so we can refute
It, or accept this finding
This has been shown by archaeologists to be binding.
First and foremost comes our faith,
Have no fear,
Perhaps just of interest to simply hear
Come and visit the Sterkfontein caves
Just outside Johannesburg!
Did God sanction this find or not,
Which perhaps binds the knot?
I’m not enforcing or insisting walking down this path,
For I am God fearing, but as long as my eyes can see
Which was God’s gift to me,
And as long my ears can hear, I cannot deny,
I have heard of and read this article
Otherwise, I would be telling a lie!
