When Darwin wrote his theory, he assumed that the fossil record would prove what he'd written. For years and years it didn't but now we're finding creatures that agree with the theory. A lot of creationists smirked for years because we didn't have those vital missing links and now they're showing up.

My dad is a strong christian and a man of science. I like his version of fixing creationism and evolution in his mind, it makes sense (because he doesn't take the bible story literally). He believes that Adam and Eve may have been the first self-aware, intelligent humans, not the first humans period.

I'm not saying it's wrong to be into creationism, but I do think it's wrong to try and shove science aside in order to teach that doctrine. If you are a christian, it's totally feasible for evolution and creationism to co-exist. If you saw the documentary Jesus Camp, it is so frustrating to see one of the mothers homeschooling her kids and basically brainwashing fundamentalist tripe into them. One of the kids watches a video that claims that the earth is only 6,000 years old. Not five minutes later, the mother prompts her child to say (I'm not kidding, if you haven't seen this yet, go watch it!), "science doesn't prove anything."

I still have trouble seeing why people insist that ID be taught in school alongside evolution. ID is a judeo-christian belief, not a scientic theory that's been recreated in a controlled environment with more and more evidence being discovered to support it.

Believe it all you want, but stop trying to toss aside evolution for a religious doctrine.

Was I redundant? I feel like I was redundant. I didn't get enough sleep last night.
