The Church of Darwin

[Patty]

So, you've never seen the sun,
So, you've never seen the moon,
So, you've never seen the trees,
So, you've never seen the blossoms that bloom,

So, the animals that roam the world have escaped your vision, too,
So, the rocks and other minerals mean not a thing to you,

So, you've never found the evidence
That all these things exist,
So, you say you've never seen our God,
There's so much that you've missed!

He is!
He is here in every thing that you can possibly see!
The things that are witnessed by your eyes
Are God, my friend,
That's He!

Patty

Patty. While I agree that the majesty of nature is truely inspiring, it does not actually consititute scientific evidence. I require evidence of the scientific sort in order to accept theories such as evolution, relativity, quantum mechanics, and the big bang. These are descriptions of the physical reality in which we dwell. A belief in God requires no evidence, none whatsoever.

Thank God water molecules are polar!

RI: Do you intend to go back to Chengjiang, the Chinese Cambrian site?

Chien: I would very much like to do that. Somehow I would like to get more involved in fossil work. Although I have lectured so many years in my own area of marine biology and pollution, I think I would like to concentrate on this aspect. This was an opportunity presented to me which nobody else has.

RI: Perhaps you could add "paleontologist" to your credentials.

Chien: Not really; that's not my purpose. I am more interested in working on the popular level.

Explosion of Life

"The popular level," a.k.a. the level where I don't have to have my work scrutinized by people who actually have degrees in these areas.
