Believe in Evolution? Too bad.

[deet]

I went to a religious school, so I had to go through both religion class and science class.

I have a pretty decent grasp on the basics of both sides of the "intelligent design or evolution," debate. I know some of the evidence for each side, and I also know why evolution is bad news.

It seems like every so often, something bad happens. We aren't always sure what happened, but the dinosaurs didn't just stop existing. Then there's stuff that leads to me sitting here reading this stuff, instead of out chasing deer and hoping that I can make it back before the fire gets rained on.

So, evolution says that things always get better. The Intelligent Design frame of mind says that things are as they always have been, and this is how things will stay. Aaah. Refreshing. No damn dirty apes wrecking any statues.

We might believe in evolution, but evolution doesn't believe in us. Now, how do I get my Fundie Xtian Conversion kit?

There is nothing wrong in believing that a higher power created the
universe. The problem with "Intelligent Design" is that it wants to teach
that evolution does not exist and, therefore, trying to learn things by
observing the natural world objectively and developing logically reasoned
conclusions from your observations is wrong. As someone I know once
told me, "That's just somebody's opinion. I don't want anybody's opinion.
I can get all the facts I need from the bible." And, yeah, she used "facts" in
that last sentence. Pathetic, isn't it? That's "Intelligent Design." At
least how its being taught around here.

you mean other than that it's both entirely untrue and largely responsible for a whole shitload of human suffering?

Much like your belief that you have advanced sexual prowess?
