Highlight of my day!

This you tube video made my day!

The Scientists Are Wrong - Abba Kovner

I don't do this very often, but here is a poem I saw today which made me think. Just though I would share:

They're Wrong, the Scientists.

The universe wasn't created billions of years ago.
The Universe IS created, every day.

The scientists are wrong,
to claim the universe is created from one primordial substance.
The world IS created every day,
from various substances,
with nothing in common.
Only the relative proportion of their masses,
like the elements of sorrow and hope
make them companions and curbstones.

I'm sorry, I have to get up, in all modesty,
and disagree with what is social and recognised by experts
that there is no speed faster than the speed of light
when I and my lighted flesh just noticed something else,
right here,
who's speed is even greater than the speed of light
and who also returns though not in a straight line,
because of the curve of the universe or because of the innocence of god.

And if we connect all this to an equation,
according to the rules,
maybe it will make sense,
but I refuse to believe that her voice,
and everything I always cherished,
and everything so real,
and suddenly lost,
is actually lost
forever....

Abba Kovner
