hey guys, i haven't really blogged this lately even though i've been meaning to, but i keep on forgetting. right now i have tape stuck to my index and my thumb on both hands because of my iaps assignment. and itz not very enjoyable. so maybe now u're wondering why i'm blogging about this.
i'm blogging about this because in iaps class we're learning about evolution. well i know that i'll have to learn about it sometime but i never expected it so soon. everytime i sat in class i go through stuggles to convince myself that evolution never happened. but the way the teacher explains it makes it sound so convincing that evolution really took place (and i guess i get convinced pretty easily), maybe that's also part of the material she needs to teach. even though itz a stuggle i always reminded myself the things i learned from the workshop in one of the fellowship programs. and i guess that not only can i remember the things i learned in the workshop, but also my own life is proof that god exists. when i look back on my life and everything that's happened, it can't just be a coincidence, there's no theory to explain the different things that happened in my life and it wasn't my choice in the first place so definately there has to be a god working in my life. if things turned out differently. and i guess that's also the thing tht i need to remind myself to get through this whole topic on evolution.
(lol, i don't know if i'm making any sense in this blog, i'm not really making any sense today, but i am convinced with creation over evolution. hehe just wanted to share this with u guys)

shermaine, welcome back. your struggles are valid and do make sense. I am sure you are not the only one here as i have struggled with this myself. now that I look back, I find it somewhat amusing. Because if the course is not convincing, there's no point of teaching it. :P
ReplyDeleteIn bio class, they only teach you the part that makes sense, yet they haven't explain the unexplained parts, such as what happened between the beginning of time and the explosion of species. Now, just think if the teacher is a christian and belives in God. How would he feel? He probably has the same struggle as you that he is teaching students a lie of some sort.
When I took my bio, I always tell myself to learn what they teach me. Understand how they reason with other people to make some sense out of evolution. Then go back to the bible and see if God has some hints about evolution, for example, in the book of Genesis.
I remember IAPS!!! Taping of disposable thumbs..
ReplyDeleteYa, ppl can be pretty convincing, at that particular moment in time when they are explaining something. I think if you think deeper though, they leave out certain things and highlight other "more convincing" statements.
Way to apply what you've learned from church! Keep at it. :]
