Evolution Still In Progress

When Darwin revealed our connection
To apes via natural selection,
   Some gibbered, “You devil;
   How beastly to level
A charge that our creed needs correction!”

:) Got to give Darwin some points for honesty, Ed. I doubt that a perfect man or a perfect beast exists. Gave me a great laugh!

Very clever, my limerickish friend! ... Side comment: Why the H are theologians bothered? The Book of Genesis is not a scientific document!! It's a spiritual prelude to the Story of a People and the Laws by which that People/Israel lived (and still lives today). Why those theologians get that?!! Evolution is everywhere, right in front of their faces. But, of course, they'll never see it... Great limerick, once again. ~ Gershon
