What Do You Believe?

My Liege- if you please, I'd like to discuss the Darwinian siege. Do you believe? From the oceans we heaved, as every creature you now see. According to Darwin- Humans and chimps- we are kin. This I do say with a grin... It is a discussion which can never win- Or, is it God? To this I give a nod Yet some think it odd. Does it really matter? My Dear- I am glad we are here Upon this giant, rotating sphere, And for that I shout a cheer! A. Green

It actually matters to an extent. The first one, the Darwinian view implies no reason, no purpose, (akuna matata). The latter implies purpose, dream, freedom and responsibility. Personally I like the latter better. It is the spirit, that makes man different than the rest of creation.
