SCIENTIFIC TESTAMENT

A scientist trusts in what has been proved

through repeated experimentation.

Assertions of faith will leave him unmoved

until they have achieved validation.

Religious beliefs often leave him cold

and skeptical of professed prophecies

based mostly on hearsay and tales twice-told,

not carefully tested hypotheses.

This doesn’t make him an atheist, though.

He’s more like an investigative sleuth

who seldom proclaims things he doesn’t know,

since he’s a stalwart apostle of truth.

He’ll all too gladly apply his method,

should God allow Himself to be tested.
