An evolved prayer
Lord hear my prayer.Praise be, let it be your will that U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III reaches an enlightened position in favor of teaching evolution in Pennsylvania schools, rather than one fanatical religous sect's half-baked and reconstituted belief in "intelligent design."
Praise be, let it be your will that those who promote this religious-based philosophy come to see the folly of their ways and decide that America was indeed founded on the principle of separation of church and state.
Praise be, let it be your will that scientists continue to struggle with the many questions we all have over the origins of the universe, not to mention ourselves. For without striving, learning and wonder, man will never evolve beyond his current form.
Praise be, let it be your will that the many gaps in Charles Darwin's theory of evolution - Yes, it is just a theory, but based on ever-increasing facts - are painstakingly filled in by brilliant minds who can reach concensus.
Praise be, let it be your will that the people of this land and all others begin to understand that we are all your children and loved equally despite our many beliefs - even if we were descended from apes, monkeys and other primates.
Praise be, let it be your will that we all understand that we are a part of nature too, not above it, and find balance with the threatened flora and fauna of this world.
Praise be, let it be your will that we learn that this is our true human nature.
Thank you Lord.
Amen.
