While priest and scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin<\/a> waxed poetic about his majestic vision of the universe and our place in it, I noticed that there seemed to be no young-earth creationist or intelligent design poets and hymn-writers (unless you count the guy who sings in the PBS Evolution documentary\u2026[shudder]). So I poked around the internet and \u201cfound\u201d this. I can\u2019t remember where I found it, and if it looks like another song but with some changes, I<\/i> had nothing to do with it:<\/p>\n

We wish you a Merry Creationmas
We wish you a Merry Creationmas
We wish you a Merry Creationmas
And a happy new year (the first of which was less than 10,000 years ago)<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t stop at the manger
Don\u2019t stay at the cross
On your way to creation \u2013
Or you might just get lost!<\/p>\n

We wish you an intelligently-designed Creationmas
We wish you an intelligently-designed Creationmas
We wish you an intelligently-designed Creationmas
And an irreducibly complex new year<\/p>\n

All cdesign proponentsists
Be ye of good cheer:
We\u2019ll be changing our name again
Within the next year!<\/p>\n

We wish you a Merry Creationmas
We wish you a Merry Creationmas
We wish you a Merry Creationmas
And a happy new year (no need to acknowledge other calendars)<\/p>\n

Just drive your big cars
With us you\u2019ll get far
We deny global warming \u2013
Not just the distance to stars!<\/p>\n

We wish you a Merry Creationmas
(is it me or is it getting warm in here?)
We wish you a Merry Creationmas
(Wow, no snow yet? Huh!)
We wish you a Merry Creationmas
(Gee, is that a Tsunami?)
And a happy\u2026RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
