Oh, No, the Earth Is Doomed
Oh, No, Earth Is Doomed
By Elton Camp
The ignorant alarmists are having a field day
A 150 foot-wide asteroid will hit us they say
Next February, this big rock will come near
But scientist assure us there’s naught to fear
They have equipment & knowledge to know
And are certain that the risk of a hit is zero
But when the ignorant see that it really missed
A bigger one will collide in 2040 they insist
The accessibility of the Internet’s part to blame
For it is open to publishing just any wild claim
Scientific ignorance of readers also play a part
To see lack of evidence, they aren’t enough smart
Proof is required from one making such a claim
Otherwise, it’s only a wild assertion, so lame
With scientific method, most aren’t acquainted
Therefore, their thinking is far too easily tainted
The earth, many asteroid hits has survived
So it won’t be destroyed even if one arrived
Thus, this beautiful planet be destroyed never
Ecclesiastes 1:4: “…the earth abideth forever.”
Religious folks this clear verse puts on the spot
They must decide if they believe the Bible or not
