There are those who have been convinced that the so-called theory of evolution is fact. I am not one of them. Science has yet to come up with the first cause of life. Try as they may they have been unsuccessful in creating life out of nothing in the laboratories. You see they keep coming up against one of the basic laws of bio geneses which states that life can only come from pre-existing life. So those who accept evolution as fact are really doing so on faith not provable scientific findings. Like it or not the theory of evolution is a faith, a religion complete with it's priesthood and gurus.
When presenting the case for evolution they use words and phrases like "could have", maybe, possible, in all probability. Although lately they have dropped the word theory from evolution and simply state that it is a fact and not a theory. That's one way of proving the un-provable.
As evidence for evolution they point to the fossil record. That's all well and good except fossils do not prove evolution they just prove that certain species existed at one time or another. They do not prove that one species came from another.
The evolution scientists have yet to come up with why and how the human mind with it's ability to reason is so superior to any in the animal kingdom. They say it's only a matter of time before they do. Probably given a few million years they will.
If the scientific method is based on observable facts then evolution has to be questioned. Some observable facts are that dogs have puppies, cats have kittens, apes have ape and humans have humans. There is no evidence that throwing a few million years of time into the mix will cause something different. Has anyone ever observed anything left to itself ever evolve up into something superior rather than degenerating?

Life Is Aversion Therapy
Finally getting tired of just laying in bed with all sorts of thoughts running through my head I decided to get up and just write. Who knows just maybe I can sort through some of these thoughts that ranged from the war in Iraq to my son Richard, why life, the difference between the human brain and that of the animals and some where in all that noise what I planned on doing today.
Let me start with "why life". I have come to believe this present chemical exhistance we call life is basically aversion therapy. As we go through it making a good many mistakes that have painful consequences we are learning what doesn't work. Now according to the theory of evolution or what I refer to as the cosmic joke theory, we come into life knowing practically nothing. As we experience life we learn and gain wisdom then at the time when we have the most knowledge and wisdom we cease to exist, die. A cosmic joke. Some will say that the wisdom we gained during our existences helps our society move forward. I don't buy that for a couple of reasons one is that there has been whole societies that have become extinct leaving very little or nothing to build on. The other is that as the saying goes the only thing mankind learns from history is that man doesn't learn from history. So if we come from nothing and go to nothing as evolution would have us believe then life is a big cosmic joke. Personally, I just can't buy the idea that all I have learned from a lifetime of stupid mistakes and some successes is in the end all for nothing. How about you?
Then there is what religions teach as the purpose for life. One would have us believe that if we murder ourselves and innocent victims we get to spend eternity with ten virgins waiting on us hand and foot. I can't help but wondering what those virgins did so wrong that they are condemned to an eternity of servicing a murderer. Can anyone tell me do they remain virgins? If so then that can't be any more fun that the poet Dante's imaginary version of hell that has been fostered on many of us as the reward for leading a less than perfect life. That is of course unless we leave enough money or friends to get our so called souls prayed out of it. How much time do you spend praying someone out of hell. Oh wait a minute I think that I made a mistake. One cannot be prayed out of hell. We can only be prayed out of the weight station of purgatory. By the way I did some research on the English word "hell" as used in the Bible. Bottom line is, it means a hole in the ground.
In this same Bible we are given the promise of a resurrection with the opportunity to live life under a different world ruling system. This makes our present experiences and wisdom useful and makes more sense to me.
