Welcome to my blog. Now that I have retired from my career in education in Montana and Maryland, I have returned to my native Mississippi. (I always tell people I only 'do' states with "M's.")
From Hawley's Blog re Chris Smither's "Origin of Species"
Chris Smither sticks it to the fundamentalists and their insistence on a literal interpretation of the Bible in "Origin of Species." It's a funny little ditty with some great lyrics. On the sons of Adam and Eve: "The human race survived because all of those brothers found wives, but where they came from there ain't nobody knows." On Noah's ark: "Then came the flood, go figure. Just like New Orleans, only bigger. ... How they fit that crowd is a mystery. It ain't down in the history, but it's a cinch they didn't live on cakes and jam. Lions don't eat cabbage, and in spite of that old adage, I ain't ever seen one lie down with a lamb." God's creation: "God said, 'I'll make some DNA. They can use it any way they want, from paramecium right up to man.' ... 'I'll just sit back in the shade while everyone gets laid. That's what I call intelligent design. Yeah, you and your cat named Felix are both wrapped up in that double helix. It's what we call intelligent design.'"
