Prompted Fred’s Quip, “A Big Bang” on a radio Call
“It’s Inconceivable that it’s Conceivable”, Was Einstein’s Reply
“I’ll find a Unified Theory, If it takes till I Die!”

Although Max’s Math is Irrefutably Precise
Albert’s, “God doesn’t Play Dice”, is a Tenet that’s Nice
Werner’s Uncertainty is Certain, in Collider Machines
Showing Atoms Act like ‘Neutrinos on Amphetamines’

Toss Out Alan’s Inflation, and Albert’s Hesitation
Edwin’s Acceleration, And Isaac’s Gravitation
Stephen’s Revelation, And Richard’s Formulation
Because, 96% of the Mass of the Cosmos, Is Pure Speculation!

Now, Posit, if you Will, that a Universe Exists
Without a Where or a When
It’s an Ethereal Utopia, Void of Dimensions
Far beyond Mankind’s Ken

No Matter or Energy, to Albert’s Chagrin
No Quarks with Flavors, or Bosons with Spin
It’s an Enigma, a Puzzle, No Where or no When?
It just Always Was, Always Will Be, And Always has Been

This Nirvana is ruled by a Benevolent King, All Supreme and Wise
A Civilization III for Sure, Imbued with All that that Implies
An Absence of Sickness and Hatred, Only Bliss and Health
An Unfathomable Serenity, Far Overshadowing Wealth

But What if the King’s Son, Impishly looking for Fun
Omnipotence and All Aside
Possibly Ignored, and Certainly Bored
Decided to Play ‘Outside’?

We’ve All Heard the Story of Adam and Eve
As Translated by Scholars and Scribes
Some 4 to 5 Billion Years after the Fact
And Deciphered from a Language that Died

What if Adam was Atom and Eve was Conceive
A Slip of the Pen or an Err
Maybe 13.7 Billion Years Ago
The King’s Son Created ‘Planck’s Era’

A ‘Bored game’, if You Will, With Rules and Laws
That Govern the Big and the Small
With Mysteries Galore, For Mortals to Explore
In our Quest to Discover it All

But Newton himself was not in this sense a Newtonian. For he also rejected the idea that the world could be explained without God. . So in this regard Newton was not a Newtonian. I would be very interested in your response No one did more than Isaac Newton to make it possible to work out thoroughly nontheistic explanations of what we see in the sky.
