Evolution is in the Title to Get Your Attention · 2:50am Sep 8th, 2012
Looking at my last blog post was pretty disheartening. But that's what I get for not posting a story. Anyway, I will still be writing every chance I get, but I want to expound on more than just writing itself. Writing is about engaging the read's mind by introducing new topics and ideas, so that is what I will do on my blog, and I will start with the topic of evolution.
In my Biology class, we talked about how evolution and religion mixed. For creationist, it didn't set well, and was banned from public schools for decades.
What is the Music Man's stance? I say you can slice it anyway you like it, I will still believe in God.
What is your stance on it? Well, from the last post, no pony reads these, so I think we all know what your stance is on it. Or you could prove me wrong.
Always Sincerely,

How do evolution and religion mix? Well, they don't.
Also, creationism's status in public schools depends entirely upon where you live. Many schools (especially in the *ahem* Southern United States) actually still tell kids that evolution is just a theory.
If you mean a theory as in just an idea, one that has yet to be proven wrong or right, then that's completely incorrect. Evolution is to biology what gravity is to physics. It's absolutely been proven, we have so much evidence in its favour that it would be complete foolery to doubt it. We have SEEN bacteria mutate and respond to their environment, alter their DNA to improve their species. We know for a fact that evolution is real.
Now, the part where Creationists always fuck up and make themselves look even sillier is by raising the point of the origin of life. Evolution doesn't TRY to explain the origin of life. It only explains how humans (and all other life forms) became what they are today.
Just a question, are you a young Earth or old Earth creationist?
YES! MY BLOG LIVES!!!
Anyway, in science, things can be proven wrong. Giving evolution the first name "theory" reminds us of this fact. But you are right, this would be as hard as proving gravity wrong.
Even thought Darwin's original theory did not explain the origin of life, there are other theories that do. I would give an example, but I'm to lazy to google it right now.
I love how you assume I'm a creationist, and it's true, but I use it as a very broad term. It is true that I believe in the Bible, but not that every word literally means what it means. The Bible has been translated numerous times, so to take it as a legal document would be foalish. However, it does contain spiritual truths which are more focused on converting and bettering a pony, rather than to informing them of events like these that, in this light, are not that important.
Now, the reason I think this is a big issue is that most people think you can explain away deity. That if you find everything there is to find, that He disappears. This is an absurd thought. I think that evolution can be true in its entirety, but that doesn't mean a thing faith wise.
Thanks for answering.
Always Sincerely,
