[Verse 1] You introduce yourself, the real you, and your creed, You ask on Adam and Eve, what is it that we heed? It's true we are family, and we are perfectly made, But the Church teaches that Faith and Reason are not afraid. They are two books God gave us, to read the world and soul, The Book of Scripture and the Book of Nature make us whole. [Chorus] You ask why dinosaurs are not in the Bible's fold? The Bible's goal is Salvation, not science to be told. It's not a history textbook on flood funnels or deep time, But the story of creation's love, the ultimate paradigm. Evolution doesn't mean we came from monkeys—that’s a myth, It describes the physical how, while God gives life and pith. Ex nihilo means out of nothing, yes, only God can claim, But our reason is a gift, so let us light that flame. [Verse 2] You say the Big Bang is a miss, and scientists are flawed, But reason is an instrument, one that was freely bestowed. As a matter of fact, it was a Christian, a priest, who showed, The universe had a beginning, from the truth of God's Word sowed. The Church encourages the search, the pursuit of every truth, Because all truth ultimately leads back to the fount of our youth. Science can tell us the laws, the mechanism of the start, While Faith reveals the meaning, held deeply in the heart. [Chorus] You ask why dinosaurs are not in the Bible's fold? The Bible's goal is Salvation, not science to be told. It's not a history textbook on flood funnels or deep time, But the story of creation's love, the ultimate paradigm. Evolution doesn't mean we came from monkeys—that’s a myth, It describes the physical how, while God gives life and pith. Ex nihilo means out of nothing, yes, only God can claim, But our reason is a gift, so let us light that flame. [Verse 3] You state that nothing needs a creator, it's just a miracle, But even ancient philosophers knew, there must be a pinnacle. The universe is contingent, it didn't have to be, And that contingency requires Necessary Identity. Your man in the sky gave us reason, to wonder and to quest, We can't be dismissive of these things, they deserve our very best. We don't wonder why we came from God, but how we are so blessed. [Chorus] You ask why dinosaurs are not in the Bible's fold? The Bible's goal is Salvation, not science to be told. It's not a history textbook on flood funnels or deep time, But the story of creation's love, the ultimate paradigm. Evolution doesn't mean we came from monkeys—that’s a myth, It describes the physical how, while God gives life and pith. Ex nihilo means out of nothing, yes, only God can claim, But our reason is a gift, so let us light that flame. [Outro] You are right, man is made by God, and that's the final end, But every truth we discover, is a love that He did send. The search for knowledge and the faith, together they ascend... ©2025 By Matthew E Treviño
