This is scary.
I'm watching this video that questions Evolution. First one was the Bombardier beetle. If you think about it, how the hell does that evolve?
Go to a tropical island and look at the birds.
Natural selection, in some cases, is a null factor because of lack of predators or dangers. This allows strange features to flourish in a species.

Even then, how does a beetle start producing two normally docile chemicals and then grow the organs to mix them together, without blowing itself up when it takes a step?
Different mutations in individuals, passed through generations.
I once watched a documentary describing how eyes evolved. After that, I'll never go against evolution.

He keeps saying 'aha but god did it!', I'm not saying that, even as a christian, but this is just weird. I mean that doesn't explain the beetle. Why doesn't any other species do weird things like that?
Other species of beetles may have been close enough to cross-breed and assimilate into that species.
In other parts of the world, predators and dangers enforced natural selection and made it an unfavorable mutation.

Until we know exactly how the universe was created, I refuse to believe in a theory as to why the world is the way it is.
Both sides can have good points I suppose.

What would possess a divine being of such immense power to go and make something so random and insignificant though?

May have doesn't cut it enough though. I'm not saying that Evolution even is totally untrue, but there's holes. You can't rely on it totally.
Aliens.

So why not rely on both God and evolution, like I do?

Now that I look back on the early stages of this RP, Logan was the only person who actually talked to me...
And then Zeke was the second person to talk to me in Redridge.
And then Alex was the third person.
I'm not a very inviting person am I? :P

Actually I do. :P
Honestly the garden of Eden sounds like a metaphor to me.
Wasn't there actually proof of a real "garden" between the Tigris and Euphrates(sp) rivers or something?
I could have sworn I have heard that somewhere...

I see where this is going...
It's okay brother, you can cover your eyes/ears like I am about to do.Mojo, you need to talk more =P
Try and join with the main group.
But...I don't like talking D:
I'm going to do that in a few posts I think. The only problem is with me joining...Arlan is going to be pissed and Isirami is going to want to go after Locke. So they'll cause mayhem.
