Evolution/Revolution

Hello everybody, I hope the week went well for all of you. My week was fairly short, no school Monday, then Thursday I went to visit a college downtown. Yesterday, I saw We Came as Romans, The Word Alive, Of Mice & Men, A Skylit Drive and Alesana at a club downtown. This was my first stage dive and crowd surf experience, and while it was a reckless decision, it was amazing :D We Came as Romans ended their set with as speech about compassion and loving each other. It was a prelude to the awesome concert that lay ahead.

During Biology II the past couple weeks, we have been studying genetics and with genetics raises the timeless debate over evolution. And that thought has been bouncing off my skull lately. But here's a question: Why can't we believe in both Creation and Evolution?

Evolution can be defined as change over time. Like Pokemon, Bulbasaur didn't become Ivysaur over night. It took lots of hard work and a long time for Bulbasaur to become the end result. So we all came from Adam and Eve, but we needed to change over time to adapt to the harsh world we live in. It's similar to going outside in the winter time. You get cold, you adapt by putting a jacket on. There is no proper way to discuss this topic, as we base the Creation theory mostly on the Bible. I believe in Creation wholeheartedly, but I have been feeling like it's part of God's plan for us to evolve. After all, we were created in His image, but were ruined by eating the fruit from the Tree. So would evolution be steps closer to being restored to His image?

All of this is just guesswork, and I guess only time will tell.

I know that this probably doesn't sit well with some people. But as of now, I'm just trying to find answers in life. I'm trying to work through the Bible and understand what it is to be here. What is my purpose? Maybe it's just to write this. Maybe it's just to challenge myself. Maybe it's just to do nothing. Either way, I will search until I find out what it is to LIVE and LOVE

Denzel Washington plays a man trusted to protect the last Bible in The Book of Eli. That man had it all figured out. He was a total boss. If I even gain half the knowledge he had, I'll chalk my life up to a success.

Well friends, I'm going to get some sleep, possibly watch The Breakfast Club.

With Peace and Love, Always,
