Was It Six Days Or A Trillion? Poem by Aufie Zophy

Was It Six Days Or A Trillion?

Rating: 5.0


Was 6 days all it took to make this world’s creation?
Or was it an evolution over a billion years or longer?
Is what we read in Genesis an oversimplification?
Which of both theories is stronger?

But why would it matter?
Should we take the story of Genesis to the letter?
Or should we look for the meaning inside
The ultimate message, leaving all else aside

The message is that all was created by God
Is this contradicted by evolution? No, definitely not.

If we would write the evolution according to current understanding
How many people of the tenth century would have got a clue
To what it meant and in the ending
They might have rejected the main message that is oh so true.

The message is that all was created by God
Is this contradicted by evolution? No definitely not.

It is time that all of us realise
The world is full of miracles, it ‘s all just there.
No matter how long it took to materialise
The hand of God is everywhere

If somebody will write in the year 3000 about creation
And about all things that live and exist.
What we think now, will be an extreme oversimplification
Only the main message will persist

The message is that all was created by God
Nothing will ever contradict this, no, absolutely NOT

If evolution is true, then everything else is a lie including the Bible, Jesus, everything. I don't believe in evolution, but I do believe 100% of the Bible, of Jesus and every thing He stands for, because I love the Lord. Your poem is great and it takes all the guessing out of the equation. Thanks for a wonderful poem.

God created this world! All that we can and all that we can't. They are all the handiwork work of God. 'The Origin of Species' almost strangled us. Thank God we know the truth.

There is God, there is grace, of doubt there should not be a trace..Science has it's own Tunnel vision, what it can measure is the truth, anything else is but imagination until proved. And on the top of it, the old theories of science crumble when somebody like Einstein can look from different angle to prove to Newton nothing is absolute.I will write a poem on that. Meanwhile I fully accept what you say-That the God has created all and give 10/10

Thank you for the comment about those clouds of mine. However, I hate to burst your bubble, but modern physics has shown that the universe is possible only utilizing the natural laws already measurable, and therefore a Creator, being unnecessary, probably doesn't exist. I do not want to debate this with you; I have studied this idea carefully and it is only real from MY perspective. What you believe is no one's business but your own.

Contemplative and thought provoking Poetry ‘The message is that all was created ‘by’ God’ ~ Here I’d like to add a little ~ ‘All was created ‘from’ God thro’ process of manifestation of Supreme Self’ ~ Vedas ‘Eka Ham Bahu Syham’ ~ I’m One want to be many’ Veda says actually during cataclysm [Pralaya] God involutes and become Static Brahman and when evolutes [read manifest] Dynamic Brahman Cycle of ~ Creation ~ Maintenance ~ Destruction is never ending and going on agelessly and go on endlessly ~ Veda Darwinian theory of evolution just in dot-state to decipher Genesis [read evolution] Darwin stated about Organic Evolution ~ OE [from protozoa to metazoa] but the raw material for OE is Inorganic Evolution ~ IE where different elements were created … Scientist trying to chase the mystery of IE by Big Bang …which again challenged by ‘String Theory’ ‘[Magical] Unified Theory’ &c …none is conclusive …vast Universe still in evolution [manifesting] Better instead of juggling in theories we poets let us enjoy God beautiful creation and write poetry to fill our parched heart…. Thanks sharing Hon’ble Poet Aufie Regards Ms. Nivedita UK 10/10

God didn't get the dates wrong... How could He? It was The ' Churches ' that managed that... Another great thought provoking poem... Colin J...
