My first blogging experience...

Yes, I know. Why on earth did I, of all people, start a blog? The answer is "Randomicity" [new word I just invented]. I was bored, not wanting to do any more school work for the night.

So what can you expect to find here? Who knows? Probably lots of historical or scientific thoughts/questions will emerge, however. I might even delve into the forbidden art of politics. There will also be the occasional poem or prose, some original, some ...shall we say unoriginal? [Plagiarist is such a strong word].

Really, the reason that motivated me to start this blog was getting frustrated during research for my Origins paper. I came across so many blogs that were rather one-sided towards evolution and bigoted towards ID or other non-Darwinian theories; after all, they are all theories. None of them are provable. There isn't a Darwinian law in science...yet. They're coming close though. Apparently, Darwin Day is celebrated in several states.

[Forewarning for the questions section: I will pose many questions that my offend, enrage, dismay, or bug certain people. I may also put forth answers or other conjectures that have the same effect. I do not personally hold to any or all of the questions or answers posted in this blog unless explicitly written so. I write these questions/topics/answers for my own personal mental games, often so that I can view them and continue to roll them around in my head. Feel free to post/comment, but please avoid the use of profanity and other abusive slurs, slangs, and terms.]

First question to ponder over. Why does the government support natural selection AND wildlife conservation. The two are contrary to one another. Almost 99.9% of the species found in the geologic column [I'll talk about it later] are not alive today. What's one more species gone from the world? Nature obviously recovered just fine after those species were gone. If a species is not fit to survive in the world we live in today, then it is obviously on its way out. Why should humanity go out of its way to prolong the inevitable destruction of a species?

#2: Why does the government support evolution in the first place? Why does it refuse to allow an open forum in science textbooks. Why are people so afraid of Intelligent Design in a textbook? Intelligent Design is not a religion. It is a theory just like Evolution. People got angry even over a foreward in a textbook saying that evolution is not a proven theory but merely a theory. Why such animosity? How does Creationism, Intelligent Design, and Creation Science go against the Constitution? [Bonus points if you can answer that one.]
