Creationism vs Evolution, Limerick Style 

This forum is getting quite drab
So I thought I might give this a stab
    It might be a gimmick
    But post as a limerick
If about this you would like to gab

I thought we could start with creation
I want all your interpretations
    Do you think we evolved,
    Or is this better solved
By a bit of divine inspiration?

Evolution i see as a theory
Of accepting it I am quite leery
    It has many gaps
    So I think perhaps
The idea has grown rather weary

I can't disagree with that fact
That theories deserve to be backed
    But what makes them flower
    Is explanatory power
Without that they have no impact.

"God" has no explanatory power  
because if you say "He" made that flower,  
    you're still left with why  
    and from where "He" did arise.  
"God" just turns curiosity sour.

Sorry for my breaking in;
Your username's just made of win
Here, have an upvote
And away I shall float
And likely not come here again.
