BEFORE THE STATUE OF THE GREAT SAINT CHARLES AT SHREWSBURY..
The professor
(your venerator here on earth)
Informs us
That
Somewhere
(God knows where)
Many millions of years ago
(God knows when)
A certain self-replicating molecule
(God knows what)
Came to be
(God knows how)
And fell down
(God knows why)
Into some soup of pre-historic slime
(God knows which)
And thus
All this crazy, biological, world began.
And therefore
(Continues the professor) -
Now that we`ve been informed
Of this great, scientific,
Secular start to everything -
There`s now no need at all
For anyone to keep believing
In that great, starry, universal fiction
We all call God

I liked your clever device of conjoining the prof's interjections with your own recollections of things. Worked well for me.
