Although I search for meaning in my life
don't tell me that I'm part of God's great plan
I've sliced philosophy with Occam's knife
and feel that chance made atoms into man
But if you say that God made atoms first
and thereby set the universe in train
I must enquire what earlier outburst
made God, and then repeat and then again...
Then if you say that God has always been
I wonder at what point eternity
alone and dark and silently unseen
caused God to manufacture you and me.
I charged the scientists to answer too
Despite their claim to know, they can't agree
Though Big Bang, out of which all we know grew
is physics' fav-our-ite plan currently
But science cannot tell me of the start,
of what was there to make the big bang flash
From nothingness, did everything depart?
or are we just rebounding from a Crash
No answer that I've heard can give me rest
Theology and science can't agree
It's Big Bang or a Creator's Request
but each solution needs eternity
And that is one thing that I can't allow
It's just another game of sophistry
Infinity does every thing endow
No matter what the odds it still must be.
So as my search for meaning moves along
The church and Science answer as they can
And though both can't be right, both can be wrong
so now I'm back to where all this began.
