Evolution

Something that leaves my head scratching -

I know a lot of people who believe in creationism and say that evolution is absolutely wrong. Yet, when asked, they really don't understand what evolution is. I'll bring up a specific point and they'll say, "You know, I don't really know the details..." or "I don't really understand what that part (of evolution) is."

One example is micro versus macro evolution. I'll talk about a general point on micro evolution, and they'll readily admit that they don't understand the specific points of evolution.

So how can people discredit a scientific theory that they don't even understand? That seems a bit close minded. I would never reject (or accept) a theory that I don't understand. "Oh I don't understand refraction, so I don't believe rainbows are created from the separation of light."

School's Out for summer!

I hat the end of the school year - I totally cried, as usual! I am such a sucker. I hate endings. This day is always so emotionally exausting for me. And where did the time go???

Tomorrow, off to Amsterdam! If I don't blog here for a while - check my vacation blog!

Prices

Taco Bell has a new menu - .79, .89, .99 cents.

Sigh.

I remember in 6th grade - the .59, .79, .99 menu!

Gas prices today - $4.57, $4.67, and $4.77.

Lord.

Sorry -

End of the year. Report Cards. Vacation. Stuff.

Ten for Tuesday - On My MInd

Ten things on my mind (in completely random order... because I am... random that is...

1) I hope dinner is yummy... I am making Manicotti for the first time. (fingers crossed)

2) Tony Awards on Sunday - with the original cast of Rent... probably playing tribute since Rent is closing this year after it's 12 year run (it was the 7th longest running broadway musical).

3) The Mamma Mia movie. I am so excited for it - I really hope it is good! One thing I am bummed about - one of my favorite songs is not in the movie (or if it is, it is not on the soundtrack... :o( "Thank you for the music...."

4) Amsterdam... coming up in just a few more weeks! I hope I sleep on the flight. Should I check my bag or carry it on??? The Other Boleyn Girl is playing on the flight...

5) The Disney cruise. I am so So SO excited... SO excited. I can't even tell you. SO excited.

6) Million Dollar Password: Fun show!!! Neil Patrick Harris is pretty good! Really suspenseful! Seriously... I am getting so excited!!! Oh God he is going on..... and... OH! He didn't make it!

7) School: I really should start me report cards. More to the point, I really should be correcting research reports right now. Sigh. After dinner.

8) Summer TV. Man does it suck. Nothing is on until Big Brother in July. Thank GOD for Netflix.

9) Lost. I actually like the 2nd Season. A lot... so far...

10) Obama won. I am still praying for an Obama - Clinton ticket. Seriously, he would totally go up in my esteem if he did that!!!
