...deeper than Joanna ever goes, so be warned.
Here's the deal: I believe in God. I'm a Christian. But I'm a scientist, too. I need to know how things work. We're taught about evolution in biology, and I fully support it. There's no way things haven't evolved over time. And there's also no way the earth is only 6000 years old. It's millions and billions of years old. At CBC one year, when we had the chance to write down a question about our faith, being the scientist that I am, I asked where dinosaurs came into the whole creation of the Earth. If God created the world in 6 days, with humans on the 6th, then when did dinosaurs have the time to roam the earth by themselves? They gave me some bible reference (something in Job that talked about "big monsters")...sorry, that doesn't cut it. It's called carbon dating. They can figure out how long fossils have been there for, and there's never been any human fossils found anywhere near as old as the dinosaurs. I mean, I suppose it's possible they just haven't found any, but it's highly unlikely. Dinosaurs and humans did not roam the earth at the same time. They just didn't.
Not that I'm totally putting down creation...I don't really believe any other theories on how the world came to be either. It's just one thing that I can't wrap my brain around and it really bothers me.

I don't really believe in God as portrayed by the Bible, but one commonly accepted belief is that the Bible is mostly metaphor. They say 6 days...they mean 60 billion years.
and i just got a really weird image or a brain wrapped around the earth...it was disturbing.
