Into animals sublime
bacteria evolved through time,
and still not one life form modern
can prove the fantasy of God.
Marco Polo, scouring Asia,
never saw a single angel,
yet he told a million stories,
tales of worldly human glories.
Magellan heard the churchmen's song,
but knew the shadow on the moon.
The waters of Earth he roundly searched,
to only Man and Nature's tune.
Jacques Cousteau dove to ocean floors
and faced the darkness on the deep.
He found not Satan, nor the Lord,
but wondrous mortals of the Sea.
Galileo scoped the heavens,
and Lindbergh's Spirit winged through clouds.
Gagarin sailed in outer space,
and Armstrong upward leaped our race.
Above the land, beyond the air,
no Deity was seen up there.
Darwin praised Man's godlike mind.
And Rand taught worship of our kind.
