God Disproves The Wisdom of This World

Being immortal, incorporeal, "God can not die," we are told.
But then God comes as a man to be nailed on a tree and die,
Disproving the wisdom of the world by doing the "impossible."

"God can not lie, " even the Bible says.
Yet He told Abraham He wanted him
To sacrifice his son on an altar,
Even though God had no intention
Of letting Issac die and be burned(Genesis    ).
And "He speaks of things that are not
As though they were"(Hebrews    ).
Thus He disproves the wisdom of the world,
Even the wisdom of the Bible.

God doesn't make mistakes, the sages say.
Yet when cells split, reproducing themselves,
The DNA can be miscopied,
Resulting in mutations,
Resulting in turn in speciation.
All the diversity in lifeforms on this planet
Are due to mistakes in the DNA.
So, not only does God make mistakes,
They are the key indispensible tool of His creative process.
Thus God outsmarts the wisdom
Of the socalled Wise one more time.

Like a greased piglet at a state fair
Can't be held by the children trying to grab him,
So too God can't be comprehended by our grabbing minds.
All we can do is appreciate those moments
When we think we have Him in our embrace(understand Him)
But then He slips away one more time.
