I had made breakfast, a nice coffee, muffins for the children, sat down to read some things here and immediately went off breakfast *shrug* Bugger it, I'll still drink my coffee. I need that, I have another day's work at the college which should be interesting, I'll be the computer teacher today... I've been reading a review this morning of a book about Charles Darwin called The Kiwi's Egg and I think I'd like to read it but it's $60 so I'll think about that. Fascinating that apparently 60% of Americans still don't believe in evolution. I know I have some very, very clever friends on my flist, who are a lot more academic than me, I know I have some strong Christians, and some just as affirmed atheists, and probably a few other things too ;) and even some real live Americans so I'm not sure what you all feel about evolution. For me, it became a personal choice, to reconcile some things I'd been brought up with, with my original major subject at university, Anthropology. I formed my own personal theory that didn't clash with either *g* and kept me quiet!
And I just finished Perfume, but it was as disgusting as I feared it would be. I'll get back to you later on that one.
And you know what? I think that's it from me for now. I feel a little ...off colour. Toodle-oo.

I find it possible to believe in both God and evolution. But I suppose I don't know too much about either, so maybe that's why!
Never you mind, dearest Cari. I'm a big girl, I should be able to handle anything ;) - and you should be able to write anything.

Well, I don't know a lot about a lot, but I came up with a theory that in a nutshell combined evolution occurring naturally with God allowing it to happen that way, really... satisfied the obvious evidence in Anthropology as well as the long process of growing up Catholic *g*
That's great!
I came to the conclusion that no one really knows the full answers to evolution, not completely at this stage as in proven without any doubt to be this or that, and maybe that means no one has the right to tell anyone that they're right or wrong about their own theories. So maybe we are entitled to come to our own conclusions, that fit in with our beliefs and knowledge and maybe even world view, if that doesn't sound too... primitive *g*
Thanks for sharing.
Well, I had trouble with it, I was compelled to read it because it was such good writing, but I found the content and the characters fairly repulsive personally *g*
And yeah, it was definitely disturbing. I thought some bits were really dragged out and some bits rushed but at the same time, I was totally impressed. Descriptively, it was genius.
I was just uncomfortable reading it!
