6 Days To Madness

Compare the 6 days of the book of Genesis,

to the 4 billion years of geologic time

on this scale, 1 day equals about 666 billion years

all day Monday, until Tuesday noon

creation was busy getting the earth going

life began on Tuesday noon

and the beautiful organic wholeness of it

developed over the next 4 days.

at 4 P.M. Saturday, the big reptiles came

5 hours later, when the redwoods appeared

there were no longer big reptiles

at 3 minutes before midnight, man appeared

one-fourth of a second before midnight, Christ revolted

one-fortieth of a second before midnight, the industrial revolution began

we are surrounded by people who think

that what we have been doing for

one-fortieth of a second can go on indefinitely

they are considered normal,

but they are stark, raving, mad.
