New Understanding of Earth's Architecture: Updated Maps of Tectonic Plates

Plates shifting in a short time span. Mountains rising in the flat land. Creates evolution of man. Over time straight up he can stand. How will this fit into God’s plan. Faith changes I can’t into I can. Soon intelligence will expand. Man will be blessed by God’s hand.

Often I find myself writing about evolution, both of man as well as of the universe. You've known me well enough for long enough that I love poems that make me think. You're absolutely hit this one out of the park. Sincerely A.S.

Dear Bill, your work is a testament to boundless creativity and brilliance. The eons dedicated to constructing bridges and forging distinct realms, which ultimately gave rise to the divergence of species, pale in comparison to the unfathomable age of the cosmos. It's a thought-provoking piece!

And so is your comment, my friend. Thanks for reminding us of the magnificent creation of our universe. Have a pleasant day, Sotto Poet! Bill

Dear Bill, Your poem sparks interesting questions. Linking geological shifts to human evolution adds a unique perspective. The contrast between "faith changes" and "intelligence expands" invites reflection on different ways of understanding the world. It's a thought-provoking piece! - Blessings, Daniel

Thanks Daniel, I hope others find it thought-provoking. I liked the shadows in the graphic that show the current countries above the plates. Have a great day, Daniel! Bill

Yes, a short time. The millions of years involved in building bridges and creating separate spaces that led to species differences are nothing in comparison to the age of the universe itself. It has been an amazing process to get where we are now.

It took a while and may be a while before we discover how small our known universe is to the whole of the cosmos. Amazing what's being found out there recently. Thanks for your visits and comments, Duke. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I enjoyed both the informative and spiritual nature of your poem, dear hubby. The image was ideal in that it clearly showed the shifting of the Teutonic plates--the shifting was all part of the Plan as was man's evolution over this land.. :-) poetic, huh? Seriously, a profound piece of writing. Hugs, Sara

The great mysteries of God's creation we can only think about, a lot of theories put forward but no definite proof. One day it will all be revealed to us, quite a thought provoking verse Bill. Tom

You're right Tom. We'll know when we need to know. Bill
