Science as the Fall [Edit - Title Change]

More slant than eye rhyme. Reads very well. I think L4 is a bit fillerish but other than that, smart little pome!

Thanks for the read.  I'd been fiddling around with this after posting - here's the current form, with more accurate title (and the long "s" removed   - my playground has an Olde Fashioned font).  Might even request move to a critique forum...

                   Science as the Fall


Before doubt bit us, venomed serpent’s tooth,
we lived in Eden, walked with God in truth.
God made it, God’s self formed its ruling law;
God’s truth was all His creatures knew or saw.
But then the serpent tempted us to doubt,
to test a theory, gauge results, find out
if what God said was so:  that we would die.
We put Him to the test; He did not lie.
But having learned the taste of doubt, we fell
to testing every thing, a skeptic Hell.
Truth’s barred, we can’t return from whence we came,
to Eden’s faith - we cannot pass the flame
of scientific doubt, belief deferred,
which bids us trust no god’s, and no man’s word.
