So background doesn't always matter.Sailorchronoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15509873623406533055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196829553153577775.post-43632917924059247952013-01-19T18:09:46.909-08:002013-01-19T18:09:46.909-08:00No idea.

There was no conflict between the two.. I simply cannot fathom the incredible ignorance of those who fail to see evolution as fact. Are they really THAT uneducated and if so, how the hell did so many of them get to be in positions of power? <br /><br />It's a truly sad statement on the state of affairs in both education and politics of our neighbours to the south. They once were a world power to be admired and emulated. Now it seems they are becoming warning to the rest of the world... very sad.

Evolution takes moving beyond "just what we know now," and placing it into a context (or other dimension, if you will) that is just slightly more advanced than this one. It is scientific, can be measured, and even though the difference(s) may be barely noticeable, it is a change.<br /><br />Creationism, on the other hand, I agree, is just as much myth, diversion and supposition as any other "what-if" story. At what point was what created, by whom, and using whose scale of time? It is convenience and propaganda at its most basic. Is there a real history being evidenced, or does the story happen to support some other agenda? --Most often it is "one" storyline being offered, which leaves out other possibilities or facts. :( <br /><br />At some point, we grow up and see the 'story' for what it is, right, or aren't we 'supposed' to get that there is more to life than this? ~ Blessings! :)<br /><br />Kathy Custrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687890338800680972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196829553153577775.post-86000804135814753752013-01-19T12:40:24.360-08:002013-01-19T12:40:24.360-08:00I actually met a man once who made a stupid statem...I actually met a man once who made a stupid statement about evolution, it was the classic "If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?". So I explained that, and wee bit more, and he took the information well, and when we were done he said "Well, I was never taught THAT in school". That stuck with me. It takes 10 minutes to explain.

I think that is going too far. The religion for which I have a card taught that science is fact based, religion is belief based and therefore religion has to accept science. It also taught that Adam was not the first man just the first one stories were told about. I don't really adhere to the religion because it has some silly rituals. Funny thing is my older sons go to a public school and they don't learn about evolution because the public would be so upset. My youngest goes to a religious school and he is learning some concepts of evolution in preschool. wantonbanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353930730534950929noreply@blogger.com
