Have you heard the name
of Sir Isaac Newton?
or his claim to fame
helping to advance the Scientific revolution
along with Galileo and Coper..nicus
Kepler, Pascal, Hadley and others.
They all tried to find their god
up in heaven.
Have you figured out
that your bible is fiction?
It says thousands of years
but we’re really talking four point five billion.
See, back in nineteen sixty
A guy named Willard Frank Libby
won a nobel prize for carbon dating,
but you still believe in heaven.
Stephen Hawking spoke of space;
he spoke of time.
You may think without a god
this ‘verse can’t rhyme.
We’re doin’ fine!
Newton, Galileo and Coper..nicus
Kepler, Pascal, Hadley & others
So many have tried to find a god
up in heaven.
Have you seen the bones
of Neandertal or dinosaur?
They’re now extinct just like prayer in schools
That’s thanks to Madalyn Murray O’Hair
From the really big bang down to this pale blue dot
There’s just no room for an omnipotent god
Here. In heaven.
