In other words, rather than rationally discuss the merits of religious belief, we’ll just blaspheme. That’s more our style.
(insert eyeroll here)
The above poster who menioned denying reality and the three cups of coffee I’ve had made me compose a song (sung to the tune of “Defying Gravity” from Wicked) :
GOD:
Oh, Charles…why couldn’t you have stayed in England instead of sailing the world over? Are you happy now that you’ve completed your endeavor? Do you think you’re clever?
DARWIN:
I hope you’re happy, too…my child is gone and you expect me to grovel in submission to feed your own ambition!
GOD/DARWIN: Although I can’t imagine how, I hope you’re happy right now.
GOD: Charles, please, listen to me…you can still be with Annie forever..what you’ve trained and worked for…I can give you all you ever wanted…
DARWIN: I know. Deep down, I know…but I don’t want it anymore.
Something has changed within me, something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules of your religious game
Too late for second guessing, too late, I’m in too deep
It’s time to close my eyes, trust in myself, and leap
It’s time to try defying reality
I think I’ll try defying reality
And you can’t bring me down!
GOD: Charles, Can’t I make you understand, you’re having delusions of grandeur?
DARWIN: I’m through accepting limits because you say they’re so
Some beliefs I cannot change, but until I try I’ll never know
Too long I’ve been afraid of losing your love, which I guess I’ve lost
But if that’s love, it comes at much too high a cost
I’d sooner buy
Denying reality
I think I’ll try denying reality
And you still can’t bring me down!
(spoken) There must be some way to join the two…evolution and faith
GOD: I cannot deny myself, Charles.
DARWIN: Without God, my future is unlimited…Think of what people will do in my name…
GOD: Charles, please…if you want your future to be unlimited, then come back to me.
DARWIN: Yes, unlimited…
I think I’ll try denying reality
Just the atheists and I,
Denying reality
My name will be set upon high
Denying reality
GOD (sadly): I hope you’re happy now that you’re choosing this.
DARWIN: I am.
GOD: You know, it won’t bring you bliss
DARWIN:
I really hope I get it and don’t live to regret it
GOD/DARWIN:
Will you/I be happy in the end? When you/I am no longer your friend?
DARWIN:
So if you care to find me
Look to Westminster Abbey
As someone told me lately
“Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority” (Thomas Huxley)
And I’m not flying solo
There are those whose thoughts are free
And to those who’d argue for design
Take a message back from me
And tell them how I am denying reality
Believing in nothing is denying reality
And soon I’ll match Newton in renown
And nobody in all the Earth
No God that there is or was
Is ever going to bring me down!
