Outrageous Evidence

If not the light of day

and the dark of night,

If not the gathered waters

and the dry of land,

If not the heavens above

and stars so bright,

If not the highest mountain

and waves on dry sand,

If not plants that bare seed

and animals with breath,

If not a man and a woman

who were to see no death,

Consider the butterfly

surely one of God’s least,

Proof of His design by hand,

hardly a creative feast,

But beauty beyond belief,

fluttering free as a fan,

Unfettered of all former function,

redeemed according to plan.

Psalm 8:5, 19:1

Genesis 1:1-31
