Evolution or Intelligent Design or both ?

[MorganGrayson]

I believe that life was created...and evolution was *how* it was created.

Back in Catechism class I had trouble with the whole "poof" theory of creation, especially the Garden of Eden story. Why? Because it was boring. I had trouble with a God who wouldn't get a charge out of watching the whole "thing climbs up out of the slime" process. It must have been a real trip to watch.

"thing climbs up out of the smile" sounds like an awesome horror movie.

Oh, wait, that was on The Daily Show 2 weeks ago!

The entire concept of Intelligent Design is as ridiculous as Creationism.

So it is a ridiculous idea that there may have been someone around before us that could have reached the levels of scientific knowledge that we have ?

Why is that ridiculous ?

From what I know of the way things work, they just keep going round and round. The big bang is based on the idea that the whole thing implodes and the explodes and then implodes and then explodes over and over.

Evolution is based on the random chance mutation surviving because it happpens to hit at a time when conditions are ripe for it to survive and then it mates and produces more who reproduce and produce random chance mutations etc.. Just over and over and over.

A big fucking circle. All around us everything is circles circles circles, the seasons, the orbiting around the sun thing, the moon orbiting around the earth.

All circles.

So why is it ridiculous to think that we might not be the first as we hope we won't be the last ? Why we would be straight out linear when everything around us is circles ?
