Incompetence

I just finished reading this article in the New York Times. I really find it difficult to believe that people have such a hard time reconciling religion and science. I personally think that a god that created species based on evolution, or something similar, would be much more impressive than a caretaker god (one that makes something but has to keep fiddling because it didn't get it right in the first place). It just seems like they are unwilling to accept anything new, which is why I stopped going to church, stopped believing in god, stopped have faith (in god or man) and started feeling better about myself. Just be a good person and stop worrying about specifics.

[Name calling time] Pigheaded nutjobs!

If evolution is not taught in school then a whole bunch of people will be deficient (sort of like I am with grammar as I was taught none until I got to College).

P.S. Delicious flood of death sweeps through Manhattan.
P.P.S. Actually, after thinking a bit it seems that I could not reconcile the two. I guess I am upset that people are willing to work so hard to disregard something... isnt it easier to go with the thing that makes more sense?
