Evolution…Redefined

By Geoff Moore

On Evolution

Darwin first did the imminent service

Of arousing attention to the probability

Of all change in organic

As well as in the inorganic world

Being the result of law

And not of miraculous interposition

For all life is a continuum

All living things

Despite their awesome diversity

Are related to each other

And evolution is the term

We give to that process

By which the structure of plants

And animals changes

With the passage of time

Thus accounting for the continuum

I was staring through the blackboard

Trying to keep from sleeping

Doing my very best

To hear the subject they were teaching

When to my surprise

I couldn't my believe my ears

This is what you looked like

Back a million years

Your uncle was a monkey

He was swinging through the trees

He lived on green bananas

And his arms swung to his knees

He spoke with such conviction

It really made me think

Maybe my teacher

He's the missing link!

He said...

I believe in evolution

Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies

It's the only possible solution

Big Bang fiction, that we factualize

Therefore Cro-Magnun Man

It takes a lot of faith

To say we're accidents of nature

But I believe we are the work

Of a loving Creator

Now you can wait a million years

And hope that nature does it's part

But it only takes a moment

For God to change a heart

That's why...

I believe in evolution

Changing of the heart

Renewing of the mind

It's the only true solution

God is always working

Changing lives (changing lives)

It's evolution redefined

I used to trust in natural selection

My survival was all I could see

My evolving to perfection

Started when God rescued me
