There's been a lot of discussion about Darwin's Theory of Evolution recently, its scientific merits, as well as its applicability to the curriculum in American schools. It has been nearly eight decades since the Scopes Monkey Trial, and still the "debate" goes on. Faith versus Science.

There are those among us who would turn their backs on All of Science to "Prove" the strength of their Faith. I say to those folks: Go right ahead. It's fine with me. Live and let live. Do unto others....... etc.

But don't try to force me to accept your Faith. I'm not at all interested in listening to your rap. Been there, done that. If your faith gives you comfort, that's really terrific. But please, keep it to yourself.

Personally, y'all creep me out Big-Time. But then again, I'm a big fan of Charles Darwin.

Evolution is all about ADAPTABILITY. It's not "The strong survive", but rather "The strong and smart survive." Darwin noted that all the species, other than Man, had "Natural Enemies" that kept the population in check. Man's "Natural Enemy" is Man. Man makes War against Man, and the population is thinned.

How can you argue with Darwin?

....Because if you accept Darwin's simple logic, then a lot of the stuff you've been readin' in your Bible needs to be re-interpreted. And THAT shakes your fragile Faith. So you make the volitional choice to IGNORE.

Religion is the TRANCE of IGNORING
The IGNORING TRANCE
IGNORANCE

I figure, in the end, Darwin will take care of y'all. Just like the dinosaurs
