I understand the song completely, and in order to be heard in an unbiased fashion, I will take no specific side openly. On the other hand, I know which side I stand on and would like to submit some thought-provoking insight.
This song is clear as to which group it is speaking to, and which side it is speaking on behalf of.
*Atheists generally stand by evolution, which states that the universe, this earth, and even mankind was not an act of creation but millions of years of species improvement and environmental development. This eliminates the belief in God and His influence in human affairs, and coincides with the belief of Humanism which basically states that man is his own "god", and he is in control. This was theorized decades ago by a well-known and well-educated scientist named Charles Darwin.
*Christians generally stand by creation, which states that everything and everyone that exists was spoken into existence by God. This was dictated to over 40 different authors during a period of over 2,000 years. And yet in the centuries of biblical study by both believers and non-believers, there has not been one false fact or contradiction within it's pages. It contains numerous scientific facts that were later "discovered" such as the shape of the earth, and the underwater currents in the sea. It was composed centuries ago through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit who was present during creation and who composes a portion of the Trinity which is God.
Both sides make excellent points, and both have some scientific support, but in the end I must base my beliefs on one thing: their authors. Do I trust a man, or do I trust God?
And upon the foundation of that belief do I base the rest of my beliefs. Many may think my comment is irrelevant because it deals with creation and not with the song in and of itself, but knowing where your beliefs begin is necessary to knowing where they end.
