I'm simultaneously afraid of, confused by, and pitying Young Earth Creationists. People who legitimately believe that God put fossils in the ground to screw with us just blow my mind. What kind of douche bag of a god would do that? Loki, certainly. And maybe Zeus when he was feeling particularly spry (but wasn't able to find any attractive women or farm animals), but not Jehovah. At least not the version I read about in the Bible and heard about at church

I know. Evolution is as close to being a Law (like gravity) that we can get with modern scientific tools. It's still a Theory (like relativity, which everyone seems to accept as fact) only because we don't have a time machine. And the Bible is not equipped to answer every question, so stop looking for it to do so. It won't tell you how to cook a roast, when to rotate crops, or why the IRS calls it the "1040 EZ" form when there's nothing easy about it. Those answers aren't there. But if you're looking for a moral compass, something to guide you on a basic level and shape your interactions with others, that's all right there. Just don't expect your home theater manual to tell you how to change a tire.
For once, a celebrity has a well-thought-out opinion on something instead of just a cobbled-together response to make them sound like one of the cool kids. Yet another reason to respect Matt Damon.
