It's just a THEORY!

Let's talk about the THEORY of evolution, shall we? Anyone read Michael Behe's Darwin's Black Box?
Here's an editorial review on Amazon.com:

Michael J. Behe, a biochemist at Lehigh University, presents here a scientific argument for the existence of God. Examining the evolutionary theory of the origins of life, he can go part of the way with Darwin--he accepts the idea that species have been differentiated by the mechanism of natural selection from a common ancestor. But he thinks that the essential randomness of this process can explain evolutionary development only at the macro level, not at the micro level of his expertise. Within the biochemistry of living cells, he argues, life is "irreducibly complex." This is the last black box to be opened, the end of the road for science. Faced with complexity at this level, Behe suggests that it can only be the product of "intelligent design."

At the time that Darwin was postulating about evolution, no microscope could know what was within the living cell... hence, the 'Black Box'. Now that we know that cells are irreducibly complex, how can science still believe this farce that evolution can happen at the micro level?

It's a facinating book if you're not afraid to read it. Incidentally, Behe is not a creationist.

Let's hear it kids.

Kids in the general term or literally the children you gave birth to?
Now I could go on for days about how the THEORY of evolution is just a big crock because people were too afraid to believe what they knew was true...and someone finally spoke up about it.
I mean...if this stuff really makes sense to someone, by all means...speak up and try to explain it to me! I'm willing to listen.
On the other hand, I don't see how you COULD believe that we all evolved from a blob in the water. There is so much more EVIDENCE (cold hard facts, people!) on how we were CREATED by GOD (I said it...what?!). Doesn't that just sound like it would be something easier to believe???
As a reference, I think everyone should have a chance to watch Dr. Kent Hovind's video series on why creation makes so much more sense (logically and scientifically!) then the THEORY of evolution.
Just throwin' it out there...

P.S. I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself for what I just wrote. I know...you can give thanks to Mom for teaching me those things ;)

Good job, Chowdie! You've evolved into quite the young adult! And that's MACRO evolution, right? It's not like you evolved into a new life form.

Mommy loves you.
