Absurd Theories

Do not bother me with your absurd theories;

Reason, logic, and evidence have no place

In the heart of the true and righteous believer.

Faith in holy texts should be your guide,

Your faith should be blind, unadulterated, and quintessential, or

Risk a dreadful and eternal damnation.

If Einstein knew so much

Why do they call his premise the “Theory of Relativity”?

If Darwin was so sharp, why is it the most

He could up with was the “Theory of Evolution”?

The answer is simple, they really had no clue,

They simply did some scientific research and, in the end,

They came up with nothing more than theories.

And, what about all those archeologists

Claiming the earth is billions of years old, or

Cosmologists with their “Big Bang Theory.”

Everything is nothing more than

Theories, theories, theories.

 

Turn your back on these absurdities;

Trust, instead, the ancient, sacred texts

That offer immutable, unquestionable truths.

How ludicrous the idea that

The world is more than 10,000 years old,

(Carbon dating of fossil rocks is just mambo-jumbo)

The universe and all creation

Were made in six days,

God, tiring after all that work,

(Wouldn't you after working 24/6?)

Rested on the seventh day.

It's there in black and white,

For everyone to see.

(Assuming you've read the right version)

Men were created from a clod of clay,

(Or mud, but you get the point)

Women from the rib of man

(Which is why they should be subservient to men).

 

What nonsense from biologist and paleontologist

That claim we evolved from micro-organisms and apes,

This notion is total sacrilege, a blasphemy.

Life is too complicated, too complex to just evolve,

Intelligent Design is the only answer,

All the talk to the contrary is nonsensical hyperbole.  

God made everything happen.

Read the holy texts, the truth is as obvious,

As plain as the tip of your nose.

Everyone knows that all the anthropological data,

All the purported archeological digs,

With reports of dinosaurs and missing links,  

Are fabricated to fit nerd scientists' preconceived notions of

What they would like everyone to believe.

 

When in doubt, refer to the holy texts,

You will see all the unsubstantiated, ludicrous claims

For what they really are:

Trash, trash, and more trash.

Do not bother me with your facts, or

Your scientific data or findings;

In the end, everything boils down to more idiotic theories.

Have unquestioning, blinding, and total faith,

Read the holy texts and they will set you free.

So, the next time someone questions your beliefs,

Claiming there is no merit or facts to support them,

Remind them that to question the word of God

Will send them, along with their theories,

Straight to hell.

 

Amen!
