don't worry; be happy :)

i feel like i’ve had to defend christianity so many times in the past couple weeks! in my whole life, i’ve never been challenged to a debate about my religion, and all of the sudden, it’s in my face all the time.

in science class, all i’m learning is about evolution.  the material being taught AS FACT is solely based on evidence supporting evolution, and not one single moment has been dedicated to the IDEA of creationism or intelligent design. i won’t lie.. there’s a LOT of evidence. i can see how many people, even religious, could waver in their faith and start believing this…

BUT THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY ARGUMENT.

i know that technology is changing, and i know that scientists really can’t sleep at night without trying to answer all of the life’s biggest questions.. but COME ON.

do we, as humans, really want to attribute all of our amazing qualities and abilities to a mere scientific coincidence? two random cells in space colliding and creating a beautiful intricate universe? our genetic DNA has changed so much over time that we believe our ancestors were swimming in the sea… and now we’re capable of THIS?

God gave us our detailed minds… a beautiful gift given only to the human race, and this is how we repay him?  we use it to find every miniscule piece of “evidence” we can, determined to give some ridiculous theory credit for what he’s made. what he’s made for US!

maybe i’m being closed-minded. maybe i’m being ignorant for refusing to consider scientific ideas…

OR MAYBE, i’m just trusting God on this one.  maybe i believe that there are things out there that i’m not supposed to figure out. maybe the answers aren’t going to be in black and white.  and maybe everything isn’t going to be explained right when i want it to.  i believe that the God i love knows my intentions, so i’m going to stop worrying and accept that.

…i guess that’s why they call it faith.
