Atheist says, “Bah!”

without comments

Atheist says, “Bah!”
The program that programs itself
They say–
They scream–
Reverberating the programmatic dream;

And round and round we go–
In a circular row;
But perhaps
I have it!
Perhaps it’s turtles all the way down?

Or, perhaps, I’ll just repeat “natural selection,”
And “heritable traits;”
In an environment
The weaker dissipates–
In the program that programs itself;

How many lines of code
Written in languages unknown
Give science
A desperation for new ideas?
Or perhaps the turtles know who wrote the code?
