Not only is YEC lazy, adhering to it in the face of all the evidence to the contrary is equally lazy. But perhaps the ultimate in laziness is what we see lately. Hating something because you don't understand it and don't care to expend the energy to try to come to an understanding.WJ (Liam) Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234603193852623582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-17418320598803525512011-05-21T05:07:42.290-07:002011-05-21T05:07:42.290-07:00At times Creationists and Evolutionists resemble t...At times Creationists and Evolutionists resemble the "Blind men and the elephant fable". They have each seized upon pieces of the puzzle but neither has achieved the complete picture. The most parsimonious perspective can be found through a semi-dynamic systems approach. Recent studies of the peppered moth suggest that the classic coloration changes are the result of a single hot-spot in the genome. Such constrained elasticity allows organisms like moths and Tanganyikia Cichlids to rapidly adapt to environmental pressures while still retaining the robust basal genome of the taxonomic family. This type of genomic epilibrium is the secret behind the longevity across the millinia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-81084863108561731772011-05-02T08:54:16.834-07:002011-05-02T08:54:16.834-07:00For many like myself who have been to libraries th...For many like myself who have been to libraries the idea of evolution is obvious. I am a student of biology and they go hand in glove. The philosophical beauty of evolution is that it explains the process from the most simple origins to the highest complexity. If God, who would be most complex was already there, then the whole appeal is lost.

There's a difference in believing in something that has no scientific evidence to prove otherwise versus believing in something that has been repeatedly shown to be false. Might as well believe the earth is flat even though we have many, many photos from space to show the opposite.:https://www.blogger.com/profile/17683052282647412029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-14585232529968403982011-04-24T13:35:57.956-07:002011-04-24T13:35:57.956-07:00I believe in God, libraries cards for kids (I neve...I believe in God, libraries cards for kids (I never knew until just now that some people didn't believe in library cards for kids. Sorry that you had to go through that.), libraries, and "young earth creationism." Did you know that libraries contain books written by people who believe in God and "young earth creationism" and that some of these books explain why believing in an omnipotent God and believing in "young earth creationism" is reasonably compatible?John W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02729247378121656274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-15817568457290760372011-04-23T09:47:39.062-07:002011-04-23T09:47:39.062-07:00"Yes, libraries were the enemy because they h..."Yes, libraries were the enemy because they held information which might cause you to question what you had been taught and library cards for kids was part of their secret plan." As a student that works in a library... don't be hatin' us (not directed at the author, but at those the author alludes to)! Libraries are treasure troves of all kinds of knowledge!<br /><br />Anyway, I wholeheartedly agree with this assessment of God in a box or not. I've said similar things in discussions with friends. If there is a god that is indeed as powerful beyond the limitations of human comprehension as the followers claim, then I would have to say that Darwin and others work on the topic of evolution should serve as to only cement said power.Kanzler_Andreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16543653394577099358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-33962567493381628662011-04-23T09:16:25.825-07:002011-04-23T09:16:25.825-07:00Well put!Well put!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792882942017044300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-13681523696073684692011-04-22T11:24:33.591-07:002011-04-22T11:24:33.591-07:00Great commentary on a taboo topic.
