Dawkins Deck, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)

The deniers of evolution
Falsely come to the conclusion
That scientists are on some mission

To destroy the human condition
Their ignorance on display
Theists always say

“A monkey gave birth to a man”
Which proves they don’t understand
The reality that is at hand

Dawkins pulled out his deck
Said “Shuffle them and then
Turn the next card over and inspect.”

Notice the face has changed?
That is how the DNA is arranged
More decks shuffle and exchange.

Like Morse Code, to rotary phone
Like your toaster and refrigerator
Don’t look the same, but all

Are electronic.

The back of the deck is uniform
99.6 percent of DNA in all life does conform
The ace of diamonds and 3 of clubs confirm

Evolution is about the long term
Slight changes in the sequence
Of the following base pairs they consist

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine
Biologists teach this, not to be mean
Only to educate about what Darwin had seen

Take a look at your computer screen
All that in front of your eyes
Is a result of two simple choices

“0s” and “1s” machine language places
And all that is on your laptops
Apps, operating systems, and graphics that pops

If you can understand that diversity
Your tablet, gamer, smart TV
Evolution isn’t hard to see
(end)

Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologist explained that we shouldn’t look at genes mixing like paint, but more like two sets of DNA shuffling like a deck of cards.

The back of the card is universal and uniform(the 99.6% of DNA all life shares). But turn the card over, and that is the 1% difference in slight changes in those base pares of Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.

Flip the top card over it it is a 2 of clubs, turn the next card over it is a 3 of clubs. Shuffle the deck, long enough you get a King of Diamonds which looks completely different than the 2 of clubs. Now imagine several decks shuffling then splitting into more decks and shuffling and splitting into more decks, you can see very easily how humans are related to other primates.

And like with computers. Everything you see on your screen and every operating system, program, and app are a direct result of the basic two choices of “0s” and “1s”. Look at all that diversity on your computer. Now with evolution, it isn’t just two choices, it is 5 choices when you include Uracil that replaces Thymine in RNA.

It is why we call both pine trees and palm trees trees. Humans are related to those as well. It is just that our common ancestors(decks) split so much over billions of years that our looks are completely different. We looks similar to other primates because the time difference isn’t as far apart.

It is hard for laypeople to grasp, but it is absolutely true, you are related to all life that you see around you. It is just that you are less similar because of time and shuffling and shuffling and shuffling, just like a deck of cards.
