Evolution: The Case of the Exploding Bugs!

Call me crazy, but I believe evolution is a poor explanation for the origin of life. Evolution says nothing became something which exploded and became everything…all by itself. Nobody knows for sure how it happened, just that it took a very long time.

To me that kind of thinking requires more faith than Christianity. Look at any building. The buidling itself is absolute proof there was a builder. Similiarly, a painting is absolute proof there was a painter. That’s science in a nutshell–look at the evidence and draw the most likely conclusion. When you think about the incredible complexity of nature, it seems reasonable, even scientific, to conclude there was an intelligent Designer (God) behind it all. The odds of it all happening purely by chance are just too remote.

Anyway, I came across this fascinating video clip from a series called “Creatures that Defy Evolution”. These little bomb-throwing bugs are truly an incredible feat of nature. There’s just no way they could have evolved. This clip is pretty amazing. Check it out!

Awwwwww…

Jennie (my fiance) has been helping me remodel the bathroom. We’re ripping out cheap tile from the 70’s and replacing it with white panelling. Today I walked in to find this poem written by Jennie on the wall. When the bathroom is remodelled again some day in the future, someone will read this and know we were there. I’ve got the coolest fiance ever!

Animation Podcast

I am so excited! There’s now a podcast devoted solely to animation. So far there are four interviews with animators Andreas Deja and Nick Ranieri, with more to come. This is a professional sounding podcast with meaty content, unlike most of the amateur-sounding podcasts flooding the internet. Very inspiring stuff! http://www.animationpodcast.com/
