The Other Way

One day some men of science
Who thought that they were bright
Set out to prove the Bible wrong
And their ideas right

They started with creation
And said, "This just can't be
Why the man who wrote this theory
Didn't have a P.H.D.

So they put their heads together
As we humans sometimes do
And thought up this amazing tale
Which I'll relate to you

It seems a tiny speck of dust
Was floating out in space
When ZAP a bolt of lightning struck
Hitting it in the face

Well lightnings pretty powerful
As you and I know well
But can it change a speck of dust
Into a living cell?

We are sure that that's what happened
Said those BRILLIANT men
Now we have a living cell
Let's see what happened then

A couple hours passed away
Before the next event
A raindrop formed around the cell
And in the sea it went

The feel of ice-cold water
Must have shocked him to his toe
For suddenly that tiny cell
Began to change and grow

Vast knowledge at those men's command
Caused them all to believe
That first it grew a set of gills
(It needed them to breathe)

Gill cell got kind of lonely
Floating out there all alone
Till one glad day BY CHANCE
He heard a tiny gill cell's moan

He looked around about to find
The tiny moaning's source
And saw a female gill cell
That had formed like him, of course

Those two gill cells got together
And before too long you know
A hundred other gill cells
Were floating to and fro

A few more eons passed along
Those brilliant scholars said
Before the gill cells grew
A tail and fins behind their head

No longer at tides mercy
They went swimming to and fro
You know there's just no telling
How far those little guys will go

The years continued swiftly by
Till like a rubber band
A huge wave came and tossed
A group of gill cells onto land

Another world to conquer
Was probably what they thought
And with evolution on their side
That's exactly what they got

From lizards crawling on the ground
Evolution worked just right
As they changed to higher forms of life
Some learned the art of flight

Then finally man came on the scene
And I'll bet it was a strain
For evolution to evolve
The complex human brain

Well a lot of faith is needed
To believe this was the way
In fact the odds against it
Are astronomical I'd say

So I'll just believe the Bible
For someday all men will see
God made it all in six short days
Without a P.H.D.
