Organization Is Key
I started cleaning up my desk yesterday morning...but I have a far way to go if I ever want to get it completely clean.
Yesterday afternoon I got infuriated at the fact that some people do not fully understand the connection between science and religion. As said many times before (LOL), I am an agnostic, and yesterday made me more sure of it.
Let me tell you what happened.
So I was in the car with my parents and we were on our way home. Dad brought up a ticklish subject: evolution. He asked me, "Do you believe in evolution?" Being my theoretical, logical self, I of course told him that I did. I mean, the human race has been around since FOREVER.
At this, he laughed and said, "So you believe that we come from fish?"
WHAT?
This is what started to piss me off. I hate it whenever people (particularly the Christian ones) get all cocky and claim, "Oh, science and religion are two different things." Well, I personally beg to differ...I have said time and time again that science and religion are more or less connected to each other. Science itself would not exist if God did not create it. And he practically did, with the fish and water and Earth.
Since I firmly believe this, I'm not a proclaimed "Darwinist" and never will be. Darwin only wrote a successful and powerful book on the case of evolution, but did not revolutionize it at all. Well, at least, I don't see it that way, other people may.
I think that evolution is a revelant theory. But if it were not for God, I don't think it would have happened, and we certainly would not be where we are now.
