Evidence

When discussing with online trolls
The meaning of evidence---
The Tablet at Mount Ebal
The Importance of Papias' attributions,
The Water and Sweat of Blood of Jesus,
They do not understand it.

They, like a horde of country bumkins
Happening upon a Rosetta Stone,
See the inscriptions upon it;---
They haven't the education to know
The first word.

When someone asks for evidence,
They already have a slew of conjectures ready
To defend their positions,
A slew of arguments,
A slew of premises standing on thoughts
Standing on a whim, standing on a hope.
They haven't the linguistic skill
To interpret the text, ever.

In fact, like the horde of country bumpkins
They come and bulldoze the most significant
Discovery in modern Archeological history.
Whether for prophet or profit,
They squelter everything to hide something
But it gets unearthed,
Yet, still, they wish to recede backward
Into their ensconced views...

In the end, they haven't the knowledge to acclimate it.
In the end, they have a thousand preconceived notions
Which will cloud them from ever seeing the evidence.
And that evidence is clear: 
The Bible is true.
