Re Apparently God and Darwin... | |
An atheist was walking on safari one day, admiring all that evolution had created. Suddenly he heard a rustling in the grasses behind him. Turning to look, he saw a huge lion beginning to charge toward him.
He ran as fast as he could down the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the lion was rapidly closing on him
Running faster yet, he looked again and the lion was even closer. His heart was pounding in his chest. He tried to run faster. But alas, he tripped and fell to the ground. As he rolled over to pick himself up, the lion was right over him, reaching for him with its left paw and raising its right paw to strike him.
"OH MY GOD! ..."
Time stopped.
The lion froze.
All was silent.
Even the wind stopped blowing.
As a brilliant light shone upon the man, a thunderous voice came from all around.
"YOU DENY MY EXISTENCE FOR ALL THESE YEARS, TEACH OTHERS THAT I DON'T EXIST AND EVEN CREDIT CREATION TO SOME COSMIC ACCIDENT. NOW, YOU EXPECT ME TO HELP YOU OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT?
AM I TO COUNT YOU AS A BELIEVER?"
Difficult as it was, the atheist looked directly into the light and said, "It would be hypocritical to ask to be a Deist after all these years, but perhaps you could make the lion a Deist?"
"VERY WELL," said the voice.
The light went out.
The wind blew. The sounds resumed. ... and the lion dropped down to his knees, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke:
"Lord, thank you for this food which I am about to receive..."
