The Evolution Tree
No need
necessitated.
To climb distant
mountain consult
foreign seer.
Ascendant
apostle ask
tellural earth temporal
creation reason.
Then revelation
divine plan good news bear.
What is it like
to know look
upon radiant
face to envisage God?
Adam Eve miraculously created
in divine likeness assimilating God.
Genesis tells us detailing not
our earliest earthly ancestors!
What then does thy omniscient
omnipotent omnipresent
dialectic creator God look like?
He’s a short
four foot hairy dude
looks a lot like
a chimpanzee. Not!
Did you wonder
why God
was so angry
with sinful Old Testament Man?
It’s simple.
We outgrew him.
God had to climb back
onto the evolution tree. Not!
Then remake himself. Not!
In our image. Not!
God gave you free choice proud atheist
you four foot hairy dude descendant believer!
But be careful. Do not fall
out of your evolution tree.
And hit every branch on your descendant way down.
Ninety-nine percent of ugly mutations are regressive.
Most offspring are sterile incapable of reproduction.
Looks like your another failed evolutionary dead end.

Conflicting Views On Who We Are
Who am I?
Science
A fortuitous concord of atoms are we
Appearing by chance and now you happen to be
You just evolved as evolution had its way
Such is mankind the modern scientists say
The Bible
Created by God and fashioned out of His love
With a designer label from the Lord above
Made in God's image is written for all to see
So fearfully and wonderfully made are we
What am I?
Science
You are composed of very complex chemistry
Another one of the mammals are you to me
A hominid formed by natural selection
made when evolution altered its direction
The Bible
You are a new creation we hear God say
Born again and no longer of earthly clay
A child of God cleansed and made anew
No more does Satan have any hold on you
Whose am I?
Science
You belong to no one and are all on your own
A member of the human race and all alone
Answerable only to yourself and society
And solely responsible for your destiny
The Bible
But The Almighty God says 'My child you are Mine
Made by Me and portraying My image divine
Moulded and fashioned by My tender, loving care
Part of My family and My kingdom you'll share'
Where am I?
Science
At the top of the evolutionary tree
On a planet in the Milky Way Galaxy
You will not always occupy that topmost space
As evolution continues to take its place
The Bible
'You are so precious and important to Me
So special that I gave My life to set you free
And Now You're walking along the heavenly way
On your journey home to Me', we hear our God say
Three Crosses Framed Against The Sky
At Golgotha I looked up,
and saw three crosses,
framed against the sky!
In memory from birth creation,
God omnipotent immortalized,
this day his sinless son would die!
Behold, believers look up,
view symbolic appearance,
complete vision parhelion,
three witness bearing 'suns'!
God omniscient has written,
omnipresent Holy Trinity,
Christ’s complete victory
in perpetuity in canvas sky!

Theory of Evolution in Islam
The holy Koran supports
Theory of evolution
But it opines that
God has created human at first
In a different way
Since humans are His best creation
The angels took mud from the earth
To God’s main court in paradise
Then God expanded His visible glow
So that the angels can see His body
And make a body like His body with it
But the angels were unable
To make the face
Because God’s body
Is the most beautiful thing
Consequently
God’s body made the face
Of Adam with His own hand
And gave finishing touch
Then he breathed into
Adam’s body a soul
And Adam became alive
Afterward
God created Eve
From a bone of Adam’s breast
By necessary genetic mutations.

Selective Belief: Rewriting The Bible
The twentieth century
witnessed the rise
of a new phenomenom
in Western Nations
across the world.
The strange case
of selective belief,
rewriting the Bible.
Belief read like a roll
of declining acceptability
for these creators
of their own personalized
selective belief system.
Yes we believe in God,
a personal creator, the majority!
But not Satan the Devil,
we choose not to believe in him?
Belief in God, Satan, but not demons?
No we choose not to believe in
demons – they are not real?
Miracles no. They never happened?
Some self professing
so called Christians;
rewrote the whole Bible,
removing all miracles!
Of course not much
of the Divine nature;
of Almighty God Jesus,
the Holy Spirit is left!
After calling both
God and Jesus liars!
(these Bible rewriters read?
their blasphemy bible
miracle stripped.)
All Abrahmic religions;
the world’s three primary,
monotheistic faiths
Judaism Christianity Islam;
3.8 billion followers,
of three Abrahamic religions
over half the world’s population;
must condemn blasphemy vehemently,
because God created miraculously!
The reason: Bible rewriters deny;
created vision recorded in Genesis;
all holy writings in these religions.
Jesus is not God not a Prophet;
to Bible miracle rewriters merely;
a personal guru a cute philosopher.
Problem: Jesus declared the existence
of demons, even non-biblical sources,
attest the multitude of Jesus’s miracles
preformed. God omniscient omnipotent
omnipresent; the all powerful Almighty!
Omnipotent: the all powerful nature of God;
almighty power unlimited infinite power;
all-powerful Lord who has created all things;
and sustains all things by His Word miraculous;
a word of wisdom for the miracle removers
“In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1: 1
“In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made;
without him nothing was made that
has been made. In him was life, and
that life was the light of men. The light
shines in the darkness, but the darkness
has not understood it.” John 1: 1-5

General Revelation
Upon the earth lives abound, with your eyes just look around,
There’re creatures of all kinds, a witness, to hearts and minds,
All kinds of different creatures, all made with varying features,
Many living alongside of man, all part of God’s awesome plan.
Animals for the land, sea and sky, created by the Lord on high,
Made in every stripe and color, filling His Creation with wonder,
Birds created with wings to fly, high above this earth in the sky,
With other creatures made to be, swimmers deep within the sea.
On the earth where man does trod, land creatures made by God,
That together with man freely roam, on the earth many call home.
All a testimony of God’s Creation, to every man, of every nation,
A witness pointing to the Creator, who is for man his only Savior.
But, there’s much indifference to, The Lord loved by me and you,
With many denying Creation’s Truth, even in light of all this proof,
Yet God’s Creation of many kinds, dumbfounds scientific minds,
Who embrace the futile thought, evolution is how all was wrought.
What men see in God’s Creation, is for us His General Revelation,
But, a Creator, many won’t conceive, for Creation they disbelieve,
Still, they all remain without excuse, when eternally they shall lose,
Rejecting Creation’s awesome proof, they will face God’s reproof.

Bad Career Moves A Chosen Pursuit
that which you take unlawfully
which does not belong to you
is not cool dude choice or trendy
it is a sin funny sin is still in fashion?
stealing is free ticket to state penitentiary
all past good deeds are not submissible
do not equate to get out of jail free ticket
imprisonment a British holiday on the Queen
do the crime do the time when convicted dude
crime does not pay you are going to be caught
Why would any rational person make this choice?
Yes I know to feed your drug addiction alcoholism
gambling obsession shopping spree or your family?

The Stallion Pt. 3
Mach 10 at sudden speed, flying into the wind now
I'm flowing at my feet something of likeness to you now
I spotted you in the sun, i called your name from a distance
I knew you were the one, i called again
I do declare i can float in the air
And with some love from above you must
Don't caress the weasel and don't fall too soon
Don't seek the blood from the panther
Don't take a trip to you soon
I'm the one helding the time back from the sun
As i scope the lobe
I am the one who controls the sun
And i know that things will pass as time elapse, lapses
Time elapses through the sound of you
And the things we could do
Just think of the master
Trying to fool the blastman
Check the cards at the table
Scream softly you are able
To see the sign of thineself as throughout the ages of time
Things you thought weren't going to climb the mountain
See the sun
Touch the waves of the earth
Feel the grass softly
And don't think for the one you know
I am screaming backwards in the sand
Hey, dude, he's the stallion
Yo, dude, he's the stallion
Dude, he's the stallion

The True Character Of God Revealed
Facts the true character of God is unchanging
God is omniscient omnipotent omnipresent
all knowing all powerful present everywhere
continuously simultaneously present throughout
whole of creation at the same instant of time
possessing complete unlimited universal power
authority Satan but limited power on God’s leash.
The only limitation
upon the power
of God
is limitations
God imposes
upon himself.
What God has said
what God has written
in his word
the inspired word
of God the Bible
is all going to occur.
As God has said
so will it be done
on earth as in heaven
unto you unto
an entire inhabited
God created world.

Mother Earth
The Mother Earth, that many praise, has been tainted by evil ways,
When created by God, it was good, suited for all man’s livelihood.
Created by God sound and pure, created by the Creator to endure,
Saying very good after creating man, all part of God’s lasting plan.
But, when seduced by that snake, God’s plan, man would forsake,
With craft Satan would deceive, both the man and the woman Eve,
With that choice, came a price, as they were forced from Paradise,
The devil continues his evil plan, from Adam and Eve to all of man.
For Satan hasn’t stopped at all, since he led Adam and Eve to fall,
Determined to defame the King, Christ, who reigns over everything.
Filling men’s hearts with self worth, to reason they control the earth,
Suggesting all earth will melt away, if demigods don’t save the day.
For God, these men have no room, as they fill men with utter doom,
Wanting to be a god for those, who don’t believe in Christ who rose.
For one month out of every year, they focus on man’s wrought fear,
And since they despise The Lord, all God’s Truth, is simply ignored.
With all the facts these men read, Eternal Truth they just won’t heed,
For God’s Word will tell them all, God is big and that they are small.
He is not in fear, wringing his hands, as all Eternity He understands,
And knows Mother Earth and its lie, by His Hand, shall eternally die.

is aspects of God's personality are described in the Bible but no human being can understand what an omniscient omnipotent omnipresent God is or can do on a cosmic scale or atomic scale only God can know how any individual
will act in response to conditions of extreme stress and what their faith will prove to be in such situations this is self explanatory therefore why do you interpret personally? personality infused with holy spirit seeks no arguments

Are You Eager To Meet The Lord?
Life on this earth friend is temporal and it is not very long at all,
Though man was to live forever, his life was shortened by the fall.
And through Adam's fall, sin and death was passed down to all men,
So instead of life eternal, man's life is just three score and ten.
Created and put in a perfect world, with access to the Tree of Life,
But desire for knowledge of good and evil created a world of strife.
Adam's fall has also destined that all men must face God's judgment,
Even if you do not repent, from God's justice you will not be absent.
Forbidden back into the Garden and no more access to the tree within,
First God shed an animal's blood, to cover their nakedness and sin.
Now shut out of a perfect Garden to grope upon the now cursed earth,
But God offers all Adam's children, Eternal Life through a New Birth.
For us God used more than just a skin, He made Jesus Christ our sin,
His Blood cleanses our sin and He fills us with Righteousness within.
God willed Christ to suffer, for granting man life was His desire,
But for the unbelieving and vile scoffer He prepared a Lake of Fire.
What does profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his own soul?
For eternity apart from Christ is an empty and foreboding dark hole.
Eternity is ahead for all men and blessings or wrath has been stored,
So when your earthly life is over will you be eager to meet The Lord?

Still God Over All
There is a God, indeed my friend, as all shall see come the end,
The God of love, who sent His Son, into this world for everyone,
Everyone’s Sovereign Creator, was sent to be the world’s Savior,
Though a God of love, He is just, God in whom we need to trust.
Although a God we cannot see, He is sovereign over all Eternity,
Creator of the heavenly sphere, and all of that we see down here,
The Creator of all we see on earth, God behind every human birth,
Creator of all the animal world, and all around us He has unfurled.
In His image, God created man, a greater part of His eternal plan,
Created for fellowship with Him, then, Satan seduced man to sin,
This had separated man from God, so He cursed this earthly sod,
Although Satan caused man to fall, God, is still The Lord over all!
As Creator, God made the move, and man’s fall God did reprove,
With separation, from sinful man, but, redemption was in His plan,
As God would provide restoration, of the world through Salvation,
And fellowship could be restored, through Jesus Christ, The Lord.
Today man is accountable to Him, as we are creatures born in sin,
And all must come to Christ Jesus, Who, took on sin for all of us,
Justifying man at the cross of Calvary, so man could live eternally,
Reconciled to a Holy God above, through His Just and Holy Love.

God's Creation
God’s tiny creatures are everywhere, on all the lands and in the air.
Everywhere you look there’s proof, of God’s Creation and His Truth.
Various creatures in a wide array, are on this earth and on display.
Placed by God for all men to see, while pointing hearts to eternity.
They are placed by God’s hand, as evidence to help all understand,
That all of creation is of The Lord, and it is a truth, not to be ignored.
As all will stand before The Creator, but do all accept Him as Savior?
The Truth alone will judge all men, as all theories will be condemned.
Men may deny all of God’s Truth, but they will stand without excuse.
For God says through revelation, Truth is stamped on His Creation.
Learned men can not comprehend, real truth, not devised by them.
And God’s Truth stands on its own, and it exists through God alone.
All God’s Truth and eternal design, goes far above the learned mind.
It’s only simple faith that you need, to look at creation and to believe,
That The Eternal God created it all, for man all alone is awfully small.
And the man’s mind is smaller still, that continues to reject God’s will.
God’s existence does not need man, but we were put into God’s plan.
God will continue on, they will see; continue on through all of Eternity.
It’s those who reject God’s Creation, who can’t embrace His Salvation.
But they will understand and will see, that He’s The God of all Eternity.

Would You Believe?
Would you believe
we descended from apes?
We also share bipedalism with apes
we both walk on two legs like apes; not...
Bipedalism causes considerable problems
for the back, knees and organs,
putting pressure on joints and torso
causing breathing problems...
During millions of evolutionary years
of distinctly disadvantaged changes!
Evolutionarily unfavourable adaptation? ? ?
We also share a descended larynx for speech
just like apes; not (except descended larynx monkeys) ? ? ?
A hooded nose like apes a muscular
nostril aperture control
(plus the philtrum) preventing water
entering the nostrils like apes; not? ? ?
We also share a mammalian
diving reflex
which occurs when the head
is immersed
in cold water plus
voluntary breath control
which allows diving
swimming like apes; not? ? ?
We have a more streamlined
shape compared to other apes? ? ?
We have increased subcutaneous
fat for increased insulation
especially in human infants
born hairless with a waxy coating
plus requirement of human brain
for specific nutrients including iodine
some essential fatty acids most easily
found absorbed in seafood, an ape diet; not? ? ?
“Miracle Miracle Miracle Upon Miracle
of Darwinian theory unproven evolution!
Occurring over millions must have been years
to allow time for miracle change evolution!
But do not believe
man was made in God’s image!
Man was wonderfully made
because that would take a miracle! ....
Man your killing me
with all your scientific
multiple miracles
logic-less evidence! ”
Humans are relatively hairless
compared to great apes
similar to the hairlessness of
rhinoceros and elephants.
No I am not suggesting
humanity descended
from rhinoceros or elephants
because of similar hairlessness.
That would be stupid.
I like best the Chinese saying
'Caucasians look like the apes
from which they descended.'

Of Caterpillars and Childhood
We were childhood playmates
Way back in the late fifties
She was sort of a retardate,
We children were not aware of this.
One day we climbed a guava tree
And Celia (that's her name)
Tried to climb the tree with me
How we enjoyed that racing game!
On a stronger branch I sat
My brother climbed the other
As Celia climbed I noticed that
Green caterpillars were all over!
I jumped off that tree so fast
And my brother followed suit
Celia tried to get off, alas!
A caterpillar stuck to her foot.
She held to a branch in fear
Her hand crushed the green thing there
With a scream she let go, oh dear!
She fell on her back with a holler!
Her grandma came rushing over
As we laughed at the silly crying
But out came our angry Mother
And we were in for a big scolding.
Looking back I have my regret
I have not been able to say 'Sorry'
My friend was one I will never forget
So for her, I write this little story.
