Kansas Outlaws Practice Of Evolution

“If Earth’s species were meant to change over successive generations through physical modifications resulting from the adaptation to environmental challenges, then God would have given them the genetic predisposition to select mates and reproduce based on their favorable heritable traits and their ability to thrive under changing conditions so that these advantageous qualities would be passed down and eventually encoded into the DNA of each generation of offspring,”Olathe public school teacher and creationist Joyce Eckhardt said. “It’s just not natural.”
Brilliant.
FYI
Lori here. This is funny. Just so you know, though…most of us creationists do not have a problem with microevolution (what is described above) – it’s those macro “leaps of faith” that leave us shaking our heads wondering how in the heck anyone came to those conclusions using any sort of scientific reasoning. We believe God DID give us this genetic predisposition – which is why life can indeed survive in such a variety of conditions. But a finch with a short, fat beak as opposed to a long pointy one is still a finch. And it didn’t used to be a lizard.
Just my 2 cents… 🙂
I didn’t realize you have a single younger brother. If I’d known that before, I might have planned better. 😛
