Finally, someone commented on my posts.  I put my thoughts on the web to hear your comments.  Thank you so much for your comment.

As I said in an earlier post, I have just been introduced to Evolution this semester.  I learn a little more about it every day.  I am definitely not an authority.  The point was made that Evolution’s explanation of the original formation of the cell is ridiculous.  Truthfully, I cannot disagree because I do not know much about it.  However, I will say that Evolution is simply an inference made from the evidence we have found.  I do not know how the first cell was formed but as we look back in time, we see that organisms are less and less complex.  The logical conclusion is that at some point life must have begun as a cell.  I don’t know how this cell was formed.  I’m okay with that. 

The comment was made that evolution is a state-sponsored religion.  I have to disagree, because religion is based on faith.  There is no testable evidence behind it.  Evolution is not based on faith.  It is a concept formed from observing the earth.  We look at the evidence we have and make logical conclusions.  Religion is not so. 

The point was made that there are parts of the body which could not have evolved because they are useless when not in their present stage.  Name one.

The Precambrian explosion was mentioned.  From what I have been told of this, it was a period of rapid development.  But evolutionarily speaking, rapid development could be fifty million years.  Calling it an explosion is misleading unless you understand the evolutionary time line.  The earth is estimated to be 4.7 billion years old.  So, yes relative to that amount of time, the phyla did evolve quickly.

Once again my state was interpreted differently than I meant it.  In my last post I mentioned female genital mutilation.  I asked the question “where is god?”  I did not say this proves there is no god.  But in all honesty can you really tell me that is part of god’s plan?  If this is true, god must have a horrible plan.  Again, the comment was made that bad things happen to teach us a lesson and again I say this is incredibly egotistical.  You are telling me a human being’s life was ruined so you could learn some stupid life lesson?  Where is your compassion?  Where is your love?  These atrocities should make you angry.  That’s love.  You should care enough for others to recognize their situation and realize that maybe god is not doing his part.  If all the evil in this world is part of god’s plan, he had better have an amazing explanation for all this.  I cannot imagine what he could say or do to make up for this.

Satan.  I hate when Satan is brought up.  The idea of Satan takes the blame off of humans.  People do bad things.  Satan does not rape or cause cancer.  Life is horror.  Life is pain and humans only add to that pain.  The myth of Satan allows Christians to feel better when they cause pain.  Satan is a scapegoat.

Thanks for the comment.  Comments are the only reason I’m writing.  I look forward to hearing more.
