Blind Spot

Francis was so determined the Earth needed to be old

he looked at the days and years of Genesis one and five

said the numbers don’t mean what they say, but less

and stepped over the facts to maintain his confusion

yet as he looked at all the other chapters in Genesis

said the words mean exactly what they say, and more

pondering over the facts to be guided to a conclusion

needless to say, reading Scheaffer can be befuddling

if one blindly believes every word he wrote

some of them will be the best words you’ll ever read

while others are not worth thinking about at all

and if one as wise as he was willing to be deceived

then what of me, what of me?
