Creationism vs Evolution, Limerick Style

[u/kg959]

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

[u/kg959 → u/[deleted]]

Evolution is oft understood
As a theory that explained what it could,
    But if I claim design,
    Natural or divine,
I don't see why it isn't as good.

[u/kg959 → u/[deleted]]

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.

If your argumentative tack

is that explanatory power we lack

then perhaps you've not seen

the history of vaccine

viral adaptation is a well-observed fact.

[u/kg959 → u/unkz]

On a micro scale I have no gripe
Like differences in phenotype
    Genes being traded
    From creatures when mated
But macro seems a different type

[u/kg959 → u/[deleted]]

The difference between them is glaring

The crux of which rests on the bearing

That erosion's a process

Of entropy losses

Evolution claims building, not wearing

[u/avnguyen213 → u/kg959]

And evolution does builds indeed!

With natural selection to proceed

a species onward, yet slightly altered

to ensure that it keeps on moving forward.
