Incredibly dumb creationists



This is the dumbest argument by creationists, what is amazing that anyone would take this as a useful point. Honestly, using opened cans of peanut butter as evidence, PLEASE! These people just need to say what theyre concerned about, namely that they see America having a moral quandary. These creationists live in a fairy tale world where history and evidence means little or nothing. I consider myself a follower of Intelligent design, but that means that I believe in the big bang and evolution. One can have faith while accepting physics, chemistry, biology, evolution, and mathematics. These creationists need to understand that even the ancients knew not to take the holy texts as absolute truth, only the most deluded or dumb took it for the absolute truth. The religions of the middle east were developed by people living largely nomadically, in patriarchal societies, were involved in frequent warfare. The texts of the middle east should be appreciated for the lessons and advice given, but we cannot allow ourselves to take them for the true history, especially when we have science to tell us how things work.

The End of College

So Im a senior on the edge of graduation. Im ready to move on to graduate school. Ive had my fun but I want to get my financial independence and do my own thing totally. Ive got lots of things to start saving for, house, cars, tuition for my own kids. My college years have left me very different than I was when I started as a freshman. I am much more technically adept, Im not afraid to repair appliances or furniture myself, and Ive stopped worrying about a lot of things that made me depressed on occasion. Ive learned a lot about my own body, what supplements will improve my skin, my moods, and overall health. Im a better cook through much trial and error. I think I understand women just a little better, but Im still lost. I have to say that Im a bit more pessimistic about the world than I used to be, probably because I know more about human history now. I know that the next three years in law school will fly by and Ill be an attorney before I know it, but I look forward to the life experiences that will come, I just hope that I know what to do somewhat when these things happen.
