It took me longer than I’d like to admit to realize it was total bullshit and start to really understand evolution. it also stunted my development of critical thinking skills. I love science and the natural world so much, I still don’t know if I can forgive my folks for doing that.
Shoutout to AromRa on YouTube for his creationism/evolution videos.
Me! I was raised in a sometimes fundamentalist Baptist environment, went to a Baptist school from kindergarten-11th grade. I’m now an Episcopal priest and very much on board with evolutionary science (mostly thanks to a talk I heard from Fr. Coyen, who was a Jesuit and the director of the Vatican’s observatory in Arizona). For me now, there’s no disconnect. The evolutionary process is how we perceive God’s creative work. I’ve found this to be both beautiful AND a catalyst for deepening my faith.
we have an entire episcopal priest here!?
Not partial. Not half. Whole. draws circle with hands
