Do you believe in God

with sufficient support

and pure, evident truth?

How is it that our mind

has exceeded the need

to survive here on earth?

So to ponder the Truth?

Author's Note

This Anapestic Trimeter poem is based on three questions posed to the reader. The first is the real question. The second is the rhetorical and the last satirical. It is designed to interogate the readers value assumption on the reality of God. Specifically, the argument that this level of evolution in our minds has far outstripped the basic survival arguments that are commonly forwarded. It is a measure of testing the belief one has in the Anthropic Principle, that is this universe was designed around humankind by a diety.
