If evolution is just a product
Of random mutations and natural selection
Or if there is a built in design feature
We do not yet comprehend.
The future of things we design and make
We surely can predict precisely
Or in statistical terms at least
For otherwise we wouldn't design or make.
Movements of earth, the planets
And the solar system likewise
We can predict quite precisely
And so can we movements on earth
Such as tennis balls, automobiles
And hurricanes in statistical terms at least
If not in precise
quantitative terms.
Predictability implies design therefore
And so it seems to me that
Evolution with a design feature
Built into it right from the beginning
And yet being part and parcel of it
Everywhere and everywhen
May well be the way
The universe and life on earth
Have evolved and will continue
To do the same in ages ahead.
Will the biologists ever modify
Darwin's theory of evolution
In tune with this logic?
I asked myself
I asked myself
