Thanks ZD
I had fun reading that. It got me thinking. A whole thread in Limerick verseTo many would seem quite perverse But a true limerick can Like Keats or Whitman Hide beauty which you can unearth Cheers Edited by GDR, : No reason given.

In limerick school I did my time
There they taught me the rules of limerick rhyme I feel like a sap So I'll just stick to rap And never again will I commit such a terrible crime (Well at least not until next time)

Hi GDR,
A gem that was, I do saytoo bad this effort won't pay any wages for sages or poets who like to word play.

Well now that you learned there are laws
You probably found other flaws Like limericks and sports And in traffic court Even nature required a first cause Edited by GDR, : No reason given.

But who caused the causer I ask?
An eternal creator nothing more than a mask Are we on top of a turtle? To infinity the pile hurtles And in deep ignorance we continue to bask

But still there has to be cause
And this really should give you pause Even if it is mindless That is what is behind us There’s still ignorance, turtles and flaws Everybody is entitled to my opinion.

But what if this thing called causality
Is a property only of our universality Something just is So why not this? No need to invoke any mystical personality

Entropy begins and it ends
To say otherwise is just to pretend So we have emerged from the whole And when the new world unfolds We’ll have an answer and talk of it then

When we talk of our universe and what came prior
We will inevitably end up in a speculative quagmire Of any particular call The probability vanishingly small So anyone who says they "know" is a big fat liar

Believing is different than knowing
So round and round we keep going You believe what you do Just as I believe too With both of our biases showing

There are so many darn possibilities
To choose just one defies probability God rather than not Is to take a pot shot That frankly smacks of anthropomorphicity

But to start there’s just two possibilities
And intelligence has more plausibility That a non-intelligent start That evolved someone as smart As yourself, just lacks credibility

Why must it be one or t'other
Sheer probability suggests it will be quite another God or not Ignores such a lot And provides no justification for your cosmographer To admit infinite possibilities is respectableAs a basis for agnosticism perfectly acceptable Heads or tails On this question just fails And denies opportunities for research that might be delectable So I say be agnostic completelyAccept our ignorance humbly and meekly With no evidence in hand We can't be so grand To assume an intelligence quite so routinely

Now I do not reject any research
Good science I never besmirch I’m eager to learn What science discerns There’s more to be learned than what’s in church But just to say we can’t know is a cop-outWe can’t just give up the question and drop-out We all believe something Whether it’s God or nothing About what’s right and wrong when we’re in doubt You always claimed to be atheisticA view which seemed pessimistic My wisdom though scant Has caused you to recant Now as agnostic you’re less fatalistic Edited by GDR, : No reason given.
