[split] a discussion on origins sparked by "The Order of Things"

[Mark A Becker]

I’m like a fish in the Atlantic that knows nothing of a bear in the Blue Ridge mountains.

Since this is actually a poetry forum, I may even write a poem about a metaphorical fish, called:
“What Fish Believe”

After reading Genesis, that fish would creep onto land, seek out that bear, and claim to know the order of things. Of course, that bear would eat the fish, thus demonstrating the true order. Of course, that bear will be shot and killed by a hunter. And, of course, that hunter will skin the bear, and wear its fur during some pagan ceremony. Of course, that ceremony will be wiped out by a hurricane. And, of course, the hunter, remains of the bear, and the fish in the belly of the bear, will all be washed down river, back into the sea. Of course, the sea would reanimate the fish, and the fish will remark to another fish in the school, “you won’t believe what just happened.” His fish story will be told through the ages…

If I can fit all of that into a couple of lines, I may just have a poem. I think I could even make it work for the FUN forum.
