If I’m elected, I’ll do my best to restore whirled peas. And bring hominy to every household. Because, c’mon people. Can’t we all just get along? After all, we’re one race. So, that’s a great starting point.And speaking of whirled peas and hominy.
Let’s talk about how segregation can be a useful tool. That shouldn’t offend anybody. Right? Hello?
Hey, I’m talkin’ about the law. And since we’re a “nation of laws” (ha! That’s a good one!) I’m sure you’ve heard of “Mendel’s Law of Genetics”. It’s also sometimes called the “Law of Segregation”. That has nothing to do with race. It’s all about about your gene makeup. And mine.
Johann Mendel was the guy behind the science behind the “Law of Segregation.”
When Mendel was a boy, he learned the art of “grafting” by working in the orchards of his father’s landlord. That knowledge served him well. And it got him through most of his education. But, when it seemed he wouldn’t be able to continue, his physics teacher recommended he enter the monastery where he would be able to finish his studies.
He later became an Augustinian monk and was given the name Gregor. And Gregor showed how important even little peas can be.
Between 1856 and 1863 Gregor cultivated around 29,000 pea plants and discovered that different combinations of genes can be formed through the generations. But, here’s the clincher. New genes are never formed. In other words, he could never graft any pea genes and get corn or beans.
But why is that important?
Well, it confirms the many verses in the Bible where God says “according to its kind” or “after its kind.” There’s that little detail.
And it also illustrates how God’s amazing creativity provides a ton of variation within each species. But He gave each species its own genetic code. So a duck will never be a deer. A bug will never be a bird. And a monkey will never be a man.
NEVER. Not even if some man monkeys around with genetics.
But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe God doesn’t exist (I’d have to be a fool to actually make that claim). And if that’s true (and it’s not), then it’s all a moot point. And we’ll probably never have whirled peas and hominy. But…
What If I’m Right?
You think it’s wrong to talk of only one Way.
Live and let live is something you always say.
How could there be a God who no one can see?
When bad things happen, you say “Where can He be?”
You want some proof; maybe a word or a sign
That our existence could be all by design.
I say the proof is in the feel of a song.
But it’s invisible so you say I’m wrong.
But what if I’m right? What if it’s true
All of these things I’ve been sayin’ to you?
What if you die and it’s not the end?
What if your life is nothing you can defend?
You think I’m wrong…that I don’t walk in the light,
But what if I’m right?
So many people living inside a dream
Making a choice that even God won’t redeem.
I say choose Jesus because this life’s not long.
You say it’s nonsense, and you tell me I’m wrong.
But what if I’m right?
