Possibilities

Let me drop a hypothesis upon your minds,

For the idea of life beyond our world is something of fascination,

Each creature born today no matter how big nor small,

Began life as a single celled organism, 

How we got here today is a mystery no doubt,

For the cell we derived from ceases to exist,

People say we evolved from apes and monkeys,

However that is proven to be wrong,

They are but a sub species of a creature we once were,

Taking a more primitive stance, 

We developed tools and the means to survive,

No longer did we need to adapt to the world we lived in,

Maybe that's why evolution for us has ceased.

Now the talk of aliens is something I have frequently discussed,

Each time getting closer to an answer I'm happy with,

Some say it's science fiction nothing more than folly, 

However it is possible we are aliens to our own planet,

We came after dinosaurs the most primitive of creature,

And it was proven that birds and reptiles were the descendants to dinosaurs,

Sharing DNA closer than any other creatures,

However it was believed an asteroid plummeted to earth, 

Isn't there a chance we began life there that day,

A single celled organism clinging to a rock,

We may have become the sentient beings we know today,

From a cell that previously lived elsewhere.

Of course there are many who doubt evolution,

Marking is as something impossible,

Yet without God we would not have had the ability to question,

How was the earth really created, thus science was born,

We have discovered much,

Medicine, biology, astrology and much more,

All thanks to the belief of a deity.

Now I know this seems like rambling but hang on with me for a moment more,

Why is the idea of aliens so strange to many still?

We weren't always sentient beings,

We weren't just suddenly born from clay,

We are made of atoms, and DNA structure,

Each unique and none the same,

So I guess I'm asking this,

Why do we still doubt the possibility of life beyond our planet?

I know this isn't much of a poem, but I could really think of what to put it under :P

Very interesting questions and thoughts in this. I dont believe we happened by accident but that some supreme being had a hand in us. What or who that is can be open to intepretation. Really enjoyed reading this!!

Exactly everyone looks as if if God is obviously human or something similar to us, we don't look at it in the broader light hat God could be something much more, a process or even an event as such. I like to keep my mind open to a deity as I am christian, but I believe God could be something much different to what others believe. I'm glad you enjoyed this :)

You are right...the bible is a telling of stories and events over a period of time. And it has been transcribed and reinterpreted many times. So i have always believed that the words must be examined from a number of angles. We don't know everything so there is room for wondering. :-)

Exactly, and well I understand religion and one of my favourite stires must have been about Abraham, and his son Issac, where he took him to Mount Moriah and well you probably know the story better than me :P But I guess I took the science route, I fell in love with biology and astrology and the study of evolution. It's great when people can agree that the world's meaning and life has still got room for interpretation

Yes i know the story. Consider that there may be a way to combine both traditional religion and the sciences. Our minds should always be open to possibilities. :-)

I hope one day society can, I mean the belief of a deity is such an amazing thing, the community it creates, and like I said, without the belief of God we wouldn't have had a base idea of the creation of earth to oppose. So in my opinion God does exist and if anything he created science to help us learn how we actually got here.

Very well said!!! :-)

Haha thank you =D It's nice being able to talk to open minded people, I believe in both, God and science and I between them is a link I'm sure :)
