10 Which is hard to do,
11 aSince they've got an awful lot invested in this Judeo-Christian thing.

CHAPTER 9
1 But the good news is that Mankind can believe practically anything,
2 Including Evolution,
3 bAnd it's a lot harder to not believe in science than to not believe in a personal Judeo-Christian God,
4 cWho made everything in seven days,
5 dCompletely from scratch,
6 Just like it says in the Bible,
7 eWhich happens to have a few little contradictions in it,
8 In case you hadn't noticed.

CHAPTER 10
1 fAnd so they'll stop believing in the literal truth of the Bible,
2 And they'll start studying the history of the earth gscientifically,
3 hMeaning with picks and shovels and microscopes and chemistry and theories and experiments and so forth,
4 And they'll discover all kinds of amazing, fascinating things.
5 Like they'll discover that the earth is millions and millions and millions of years old,
6 And wasn't much like iEden at the jbeginning,
7 But hotter and wetter,
8 And without any life to speak of,
9 kUnless you count amino acids,
10 lWhich got the ball rolling lifewise,
11 mBack when everything was still pretty much nothing but a big ball of chemicals.

CHAPTER 11
1 And although they'll continue to think of the nbiblical creation as a pretty nice story,
2 oThey'll come to believe that the amino acids became simple one-celled life-forms,
3 pWhich grew and spread and got more complicated,
4 qThe way things always do,
5 rUntil there were like plants and brainless animals living in the water,
6 sWhich kept on getting more and more complicated,
7 Thanks to a principle called Survival of the Fittest,
8 Until there were water creatures,
9 Something like fish,
10 Who came out of the water onto the dry land,
11 tWhere they went on evolving,
12 Because there weren't any men yet.

CHAPTER 12
1 But before there could be men, there would have to be dinosaurs,
2 Just to prove what an accident Evolution really is,
3 Because who in his right mind would decide to fill up a nice planet with a bunch of giant murderous reptiles,
4 With brains this big,
5 Who didn't do anything but lumber around eating plants and each other,
6 For a couple of eons,
7 When there could have been men instead?
