I realize that I have been very lax in presenting new poems lately. The truth is so much studying, sometimes squelches my poetic side. Then as I pondered the apologetic course I am currently in; these words began to form in my head.
The other day I listened to a debate on you-tube of Paul Kurtz. He wrote the introduction to the Humanistic Manifesto II and helped in it’s development, as well as most likely contributed to Humanistic Manifesto III. What I found amazing was that although, he denied any possibility of God; he believed out there somewhere must have existed some form of subatomic material eternally. Since, nothing comes from nothing; something must have been eternally present. We just haven’t discovered what that something was, according to him. That takes a lot of faith; whereas, science instead of disproving God; has proven even things revealed to Moses, long ago. I hope you enjoy this poem and take a moment to consider God, as our creator.
Finding The Truth, The Way In a Modern World
And as Mankind in pride doth say
That he has found the truth, the way
That science leads our earnest quest
The human brain it’s very best
Oh, look at all that we have learned
The truth for which we have so yearned
Yet, evil circles round us still
From all the thoughts of our free will
Our thoughts evolved so now we see
Inside each heart the will to be
Discovering truth, we think is new
Although revealed to ancient few
The Big Bang physics that we found
Revealed to Moses, on a mound
And written on a tablet stone
That what is new, had then been known
We seek to find our way to be
From nothingness, our destiny
Ah, yes; this truth before us lies
Grasping to hope before it dies
From nothingness, oh yes, we’re born
Into a life of prideful scorn
Until we come to one day see
That God created us to be
And through the ages, patiently
His love awaits you and me
To lay aside our foolish pride
To then, in Him our hearts abide
He paid the price of all our sin
That we might then be born again
Our spirit joining then with His
And there to find a joy that Is
No meaning truly can be found
Until to Him our hearts are bound
He freely gives this gift of grace
To all who turn to seek His face
The truth, the way, the life you see
Came to this earth for you and me
To die to pay our penalty
Upon that cross on Calvary
Oh, foolish man; that doth believe
That all of this did come to be
From something you have yet to find
You search for it within your mind
Yet, right there in your words you see
That nothing ever comes to be
Without a cause that must precede
These are your word, this is your creed
And yet you put your faith to find
Some particle of some kind
That must have been eternally
In order that all else could be
When truth is knocking at your door
While you still search for something more
How is that you run away
From He who bid you to stay.
CONCLUSION:
I am a firm believer in science, research, mathematics and medicine. When I see all the intricacies of this planet, galaxy, the human cell and the thought processes of the brain; I stand in awe of God-the creator of it all. In all their discoveries and desires to deny God, they have only proven the impossibility of their not being God. Nothing new came to be; rather, science is barely scratching the surface of what can be discovered.
