Hello Darwin my old friend.
I've come to read from you again.
You comfort me when I grow weary
Of people saying 'it's just a theory.
Because a theory is a system of abstractions in our finite minds
of laws behind
the things we find
with science.

And on the internet I saw
a billion people, maybe more.
People clinging to old delusions, people jumping to conclusions
People holding superstitions that obviously are quite absurd
they'd never heard
a single word
of science.

I really think a doctor knows
how a disease like cancer grows.
How did we learn that we might treat it?
How do you think one day we might beat it?
'cos it won't be by taking sugar pills
or standing on one leg, for hours, while eating flowers
but through the powers
of science.

If you have answers and you're sure
they're better than what came before
make your hypothesis and test it.
Take the results that you've collected.
Then you write them in a paper
and submit it for a peer review
it's what we do to check it's
trueeee-ly science.

And the people stood and prayed.
They said: 'our faith can not be swayed'
They have their Views and they won't move them.
They have their Truths and they won't prove them.
They'll take the words of the prophets
over fossils that were really found, beneath the ground.
They don't like the sound
of science.
