Occam’s Razor Answers the Question of Creation …

         ’Tis the Gift to be Simple and Sophisticated

The ship, complex, is yet not like a whale

With all its DNA.  The many bits,

The hull, the rudder, engine, or a sail,

Together move across the sea that hits

The bow with all of them well engineered

In complicated ways surpassing all

The parts, with each of them intensely geared.

The ship is simply launched.  The blocks that stall

Her maiden voyage are split away.  She slips

Towards the waves as smoothly as the sun

Moves west.  The vessel makes ten thousand trips

From just that one first sliding purposed run.

  These meanings, both combined together, weigh

    The truth.  Profound and simple both hold sway.
