thoughts running through my head on the way home from work

i have been reading a lot of g.k. chesterton lately.

he's amazing

what i like about him is he comes to the thing you always knew you believed about life and God from a totally different perspective. he's much like c.s. lewis (maybe initials are the way to go) but more difficult to read, haha. more difficult but i would say more rewarding. more british, more popular politics of his day, and more humor...awesome

but what he started me thinking........

he was talking about the materialistic view on the world and how it was created. being my father's daughter, this welled up in me the hatred of evolutionary theory all over again and i began my quest to formulate a few more arguments against it.

what came first the chicken or the egg?

i think both creationists and evolutionists would say the chicken. but when did the reptile from half a billion years ago form feathers? when was it half and half? how did it survive in that state? where is the evidence of this morbid creature?

when did it start developing so much muscle that it pretty much would keep itself tied to the ground? and how would that ever be evolutionarily beneficial?

the question that has bothered me for years but i feel like has never really been addressed...even if by magic an animal should have every bodily system intact but not have a functioning reproductive system...it would all be pointless. there would be one random and perfect generation and then nothing.

anyways...

i bought a cd by edison glass today and it's blowing my socks off as we speak....go get it...
