ASSURANCE
Illustration★★★★Drop to your knees beside the wide road, And pick up a stone to turn in your hand. Now make one like it. Then if you succeed, tell me there’s no God. Take clay and dust, and fashion a child. With wistful brown eyes and breath in its lungs, Make flesh—warm lips, a brain, and red blood. Then if you succeed, tell me there’s no God.
Hammiil, C.E., “Challenge” . Attitudes.
The point
The poem challenges: if you can create a stone or a living child with intelligence and breath, claim there is no God; if not, creation assures us of His existence.
