Six Days Or Six Billion Years

Just six days was all it took God
to create the heavens and earth.
Most people dismiss this as odd,
just as they view the virgin birth.

Those who say God does not exist,
choose to believe the scientists.
Some try the Word of God to twist
by making a day an eon.

When the subject is origins,
one cannot trust the scientists.
Science provides explanations
of the way the natural world works.

Think through all the speculations
of how what exists came to be,
and you will be none the wiser,
after the exercise is through.

If as many strongly suggest
what now exists came from nothing,
laws nor eons create nothing,
so, we do know this is not true.

Nature is governed by great laws
despite its sheer complexity.
She declares that her creator
is divine, wise, and infinite.

Even if we start with order,
six billion years will yield decay,
and not the stunning symmetry 
that science constantly unfolds.

Six billion years cannot create
what God accomplished in six days.
The mysteries that nature holds,
six billion years cannot unfold.
