| | I can't believe how much my attachment takes out of me. I am so exhuasted after work, and I barely have time to meet up with old friends.
I attended an education conference today with my fellow friends. While I am glad that they are enthusiastic in their persuit in the field, I find myself wary and more subdued.
One of my colleagues remarked that I have changed two years ago. She said that I have become more confident, and I have to agree. I strongly believed that God has been leading me all through this time.
Memories #4: Evolution is a mystery
Inspired by one of my church friends 3 years ago, I had thought that evolution was anti-Christian in nature. I was introduced to anti-evolution reading such as Answers in Genesis. Thus for a period of time, the more I thought about evolution, the more unlikely it seemed.
Over this academic year, I spent lots of time researching about the topic, and thus, renounced my creationist views.
There were many reasons why I did it. The main reason was that I realised science was areligious (it does not care about religion)-- it cannot prove there is a God, and it cannot prove there is none. It seeks naturalistic explanations. One cannot say because something is so complex, that no one can imagine how a system can evolve, therefore evolution is not true. That is poor science.
The more I think about evolutionary theory, the more I realised that it is the best presented theory that explains the fossils, the species and the genes we observe in the world.
And I find it a blessing that this world seemed to be made ready for us to inhabit it.
