It's really incredible, absolutely incredible, that there are still people in the modern world who are ignorant enough to deny evolution. Really, why not deny still that the earth revolves around the sun?

And for the life of me, I have no clue how or why people have it in their heads that the ideas of a evolution and a supreme being somehow preclude each other. I'm a firm believer in both. In fact, I think they go hand in hand. If there is a god, it makes perfect sense to me that he would give his children the ability to adapt to their surroundings.

"God?" Maybe. Christian God? Muslim God? Any other religion's God? A God who's main goal so to speak is to tend to humans? I say nay to those notions.

I think that if there is a god, that we are nothing more than a TV soap opera to it/them. They don't do anyhting for us, except if it makes things more interesting for them, but mostly just sit back and let everything happen. Why would they care about humans more than any other animal? We are all animals to a higher being.

I really doubt that all animals are the same to you.
