Evolution versus IE

The Texas State Board of Education had a recent debate on if the "strengths and weaknesses" of evolution should be taught in school. Thankfully that idea was thrown out and we will not be teaching creationsism and intelligent design in our Texas science classrooms. It also really irks me how people use the term evolution when what they are talking about is natural selection. They are two different things but that is not why I am writing this post. It is because one person had a great comment towards the people who belief in the biblical story of the creation of man. Here it is:

"The funny thing about all these bible thumpers and "Intelligent Design" believers is that, if they truly believe we came from Adam and Eve, then I guess their god is OK with incest. I mean, if we all did come from Adam and Eve, then how did we get here if not for their children having had sex with each other, with Adam having sex with his daughters, with Eve having sex with her sons? Makes one wonder about a god that's OK with incest. I prefer to believe in evolution."

Very nice!

Most creationism believers will tell you that yes, God was ok with incest "in the beginning", but that changed with the passing down of levitical law and all the restrictions of not banging your mothers sisters daughters handmaidens and such. Good times.

Yes Jason, that's correct that's what we believe. Got to run, my Bible hasn't been thumped in a few hours.
