As the 200th birthday of our favorite monkey approaches, scientist seem to be more and more in the face of the Christians, giving us the ever-loved "nana nana boo boo!" It appears as though some feel that a war that was waged nearly 150 years ago, is nearing its end, and that Christians should be waving the white flag. Its no secret that Darwin's findings and theory in general has brought modern day science to drastic heights, especially in law enforcement. Where would be without the advancement in DNA studies and the technology necessary to do them? I shudder to think...But, Here it was has me saddened, and quite frankly, a bit angry. Apparently, The State Board Of Education in Texas voted to Delete the provision that students learn the strengths and weaknesses of the theory. It was to teach that there is other alternatives to this theory. But Andy Ellington, a University of Texas evolutionary biologist, called that argument “almost amusing.”
“You have these folks who are trying to suggest that we shouldn't teach evolution as something our kids need to know,” he said. “But at the same time, there are these new technologies out there shaping our lives every day.” (Hou. Chron) Here is what I find amusing. things do evolve. Absolutely.
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.
10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
And then came day, and night, and man and woman,(7th day he rested) and then of course original sin.... and then that's about time he said ....
"Let them evolve...and they did!"
