The 6 Pack Economist

Some museam in kentucky has decided to make an exibit about creationism and apparently Darwins theory of natural selection.  I personally think that creationists give the rest of the conservatives a bad name.   Although I will say I am not totally convinced that evolution is just random either.  But everything created in about 8 thousand years?  Come on!

Lets say that you are trying to explain how the world came about to a person who has no concept of bacteria or viruses let alone DNA.  In addition the highest number that can be concieved of is a few thousand.  Now try to explain to that person that over millions of years little changes in a creatures DNA created both the mouse and the elephant.  What would you do to try and explain the begining of the world.  Most likly you would condence the whole story to more manageable level.  And then go through everything in the order it seems to have actually happend but use terms that the person would understand.

I have always found it kind of interesting that the bible story of creation parrellels what most evolutionist think happened.  The time scale is way off but it seemed very similar. 

And just to clarify I think that there is something a little more to evolution then just random shit-happens changes in DNA has created all the different species in the world.  I think there is some sort of generational push.  Basicly the generation before or in this case the chicken knows that it would be good for egg to have better feathers.  And eventually one of the eggs does.  (I appologise for the bad analogy but I am tired).

One day I will write about some of the physics books I read.  Especially the stuff about non-locality theory.
