Dale,
With absolutely no respect, this a crap poem,and a little too didactic for my taste.
You begin by raging against science, which I suggest has provided you with the lap-top you use, and a great deal around you. You then settle into an evolution thing.
Scientific method allows, and expects, that its findings will be refined, perhaps even contradicted, with progress. To compare it with religion, or myth, and try to set up some kind of equivalence, has no obviously rational basis.
As for evolution, perhaps I am made very differently from you; but if I see some kind of ape, the idea that that creature and I are not in some way related, seems just nuts. It is also interesting that every farmer or horticulturalist, knows v well that with a bit of care they can produce say, a black tulip, where one did not exist, or a different kind of sheep. But of course that's not species, right? So that's OK. I am now going to take my unscientific medication......
