Survival of the Witless
SURVIVAL OF THE WITLESS
— James Ph. Kotsybar
When fire, water, earth and air were thought
to be the elementals that composed
all matter, folks did not become distraught
at what avant-garde chemists then proposed.
Most understand that our world is a sphere
(with only one natural satellite);
no matter where folks sail they do not fear
they’ll reach Earth’s edge and fall into the night.
Most even have embraced that time’s not fixed
and have adopted relativity.
So why should folks’ beliefs remain so mixed
about evolution’s activity?
Abundant evidence supports this view,
yet institutions argue it’s not true.
