Blind Watchmaker
A blind watchmaker tinkered for billions of years
without blueprints for making his intricate gears.
So, he failed many times but got up when he fell
and was shocked when he made not a watch, but a cell.
From that cell, which he made from primordial slime,
every creature evolved through the passage of time.
On a planet like ours, this was bound to unfold
through an unguided process, or so we’ve been told.
But the knowledge we gain from new questions we ask
shows blind watchmakers useless at their assigned task.
It seems more and more likely that we were designed
by a being possessing a limitless mind.
The Big Bang would have fizzled without someone there
who began time and made all there is from thin air.
And with three billion letters in our DNA,
it’s impossible chance had a big part to play.
And if physical laws were not quite so refined
then all known time and space would begin to unwind.
And there’s no way that randomly mutated genes
can make novel molecular-level machines.
If our minds remain open, the more we will find
that our science is clearer with God intertwined.
Every day, the skies speak, and the heavens declare,
if we’re willing, we’ll hear them say “God’s everywhere.”
