There are holes in the sky Where the rain gets in. The holes are very small, That's why rain's so thin.
Actually, of course, if you think the earth's at the centre of the universe with everything else going round it and being relatively small, then Creationism becomes a far more rational conceit: if the earth is "special" like this, then the logical progression to belief that it (not to mention us) has been specially created is a not entirely unreasonable one. It's a fine example of the perils of building a model on false axioms.

Rain
There are holes in the sky
Where the rain gets in.
The holes are very small,
That's why rain's so thin.
