Darwin versus religion

Darwin versus religion

 

Survival of the fittest

Favours the pitiless

Favours the strong

But it is anti religious so how can it be wrong?

 

Where can I start!

The strong always eat the weak.

First law of the natural world

but we human’s are at its peak

we can think for ourselves

we have morality

we have a clarity a depth of thought

we can decide who we favour the weak or the strong?

The righteous or the plain wrong

The plain bad or the plain greedy

Or we can help the needy

We don’t have to follow the rules of the natural world

Or think inside the box

Darwin’s box or religions box

We can decide who lives who dies

Who survives and who thrives

This is part of humanity

The freedom of choice.

HI Daniel, nice poem!Id rather be delusional, then Godless.Im glad God gave us the power of reason and thought, and guilt, when we do wrong.Im glad I was given freedom to feel and think as I please.Bonding in a family is very healthy, and bonding with other humans is good for you.good poem!

The God Delusion eh?
Bonding in social groups can also aid individual survival (ants/baboons etc) but I agree humans have choice over instinct.
