Adding to my list of complaints...
I thought it was funny today when I read someone else's journal and I read some ideas that strangely sounded like mine...
Yeah, I have to say it is a sad day when supposed leaders and educators reject the evolutionary theory. For them not see its validity and its educational purposes, is extremely depressing. How can our children, our next generation, continue to learn, grow, and continue to progress in fields of study if we, the preceding generation, reject these academic ideas? If we reject so-called "proposterous" ideas, then these children are not going to try and search for new answers in life-- we will just regress into the traditional, close minded way of life of centuries past. Do not get me wrong, I am a Christian and I fully believe in God, the higher being, but I cannot understand how people reject the fact that God created a complex world which evolves to become more complex. It would have been boring if all he did was just one day all the animals would just appear and he never helped them to change. And how would he know what they should look like just yet? It took God years before he knew how to shape our lives and he will continue to do so. I wish some of these people see what a wonderfully mysterious and intricate world our God has created for us; to think that there has been no evolution contradicts that God made us complex. Okay, now before people start to get all worked up because, God forbid, I believe in evolution, I will switch topics. I know there are people who probably think I am going to hell.
Something else that was brought up was the "popular" crowd. Yeah, I admit, I was never really "in" with them... I was too much of a square for their social circles. When someone thinks of a popular person, what stereotype comes to mind? Well, I think (and I am sure most do too) that a popular person is a whiny, preppy, live-off-of-daddy's-money-because-why-should-they-waste-their-time-with-getting-a-job, party-crazy, binge-drinking, sex-crazed, brainless little brat. Yeah, and that is the shortened version. But it is so true. Not too many "popular" people in high school or from your childhood were actually decent, good folks. When you have some standard of morals and actually have conscience, or even have a brain, chances are you were not cool in high school and you were a nerd. Damn. Hate being a nerd. How terrible it is to have some academic standard. Okay, now I will stop being mean. It is not that I am bitter or jealous about popular people, because really, they did not affect me a whole lot. I just got over, moved on, and became to me what an acceptable, good, successful human being is. Or at least I try, because I am by no means perfect. Well, yeah, I have class soon so I am going to just end this.
