So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Out of Time
Thursday. 9.19.13 4:24 pm
Went to my church's "Religion and Science" seminar. The dinner that went along with it was... AMAZING. Especially the mashed potatoes.

The guy gave a seminar on the "8 or 9 myths of evolution", which sort of covered all of the problems that people have with evolution and how they aren't really problems at all. Many of them were sort of "in-field" arguments, like whether mass extinctions really did clear the field for the rise of the mammals or if the mammals were on the rise anyway, with the K-T mass extinction just speeding up the process. He was a kind of famous evolutionary paleontologist, having become famous through his work on the Burgess Shale. At the end were the typical questions you might expect, such as "As a Christian and an evolutionary biologist, how do you feel about Creationism being taught in schools?" and "You yourself are a Christian-- where do you see God in what you just said?"

His answer to the first was very direct (NO!) and the answer to the second was somewhat evasive and roundabout, in a very charming, English way. I made a couple comments which were well received, but which I don't have time to explain because I got a new Google Chrome app that limits my time on certain websites, and I only have 8 minutes left for all of Nutang, Facebook, 9gag, and YouTube combined, so I have to skedaddle.

I also planted the idea in M's head that, after the post-doc that he already decided he would like to do in America, he would then like to become a professor and live in America forever. bwahahaha. 6 minutes left. Crap. Goodbye Nutang.

I have that app too.

Your famous geological scientist sounds interesting.

Did he have a counter to people who say "so you think we came from MONKEYS"? Because I know that it's really the common ancestor thing, but that doesn't seem to cut it in such conversations.

Also I think Nutang is a better use of time than 9gag, just sayin'.

That sounds like a cool talk! No way... They have apps for their browser? Chrome may have just started to convince me...

Thank you for the very long and thoughtful comment. I would like it if that was an option.
