This is just depressing

Okay, I just got out of anthropology class, and I must say I am extremely disappointed. I knew, before going into the class, that it was going to be based on evolution, but not to this extent. She was talking about what separates us from primates. After a number of reasons were brought forth, and somehow the thought that intelligent design did not belong in public education, or any education for that matter came from her lips.

I was stunned.

Yes, I knew that people do not believe in the fact that we came from a being that is in control of everything. Admitting that would be to admit your inability to control the things going on around you. And although we all know that we are unable to do that, we still try to mend things in any way we can. And what better way to get the Devine presence out of your life then saying that he did not make you at all. So I guess it is better for some people to say that they came from primordial slime, rather then by an intelligent creator. The THEORY of evolution is only that, a theory. Why it is being taught as hard fact in nearly every school of all kinds is beyond me. I would hate, no, abhor, knowing that my ancestor is that monkey, or better yet, the scum you get from the bottom of the bird bath. And a funnier part came later on, when she said something like ‘a recent survey was taken about the beliefs of evolution. And it came back as something like 60of the American population believes that evolution is nothing but crap.’ And the way she said it was in disgust, thinking that only 40 percent of the population in America believes in the only way we exist.

All I can do is feel sorry for her. Yes, I am going to learn in the information as I should, but while keeping in fact that this is all based on mans reasoning, not God’s purpose.
