Panel Seeks Ties between Science and Religion
A Poem
by
Deborah Scaperoth, Ph.D.
A panel meets today
to see if God's in DNA.
I wonder what it means
if they find him in our genes.
The very thought's appalling
so many miss their calling.
On the other hand,
for those who're truly wise
it'd come as no surprise
that the Devil really dwells
in the center of our cells.
