Intelligent Design vs. Evolution

As you know, I am Christian and yeah I do believe in intelligent design, and honestly this topic really annoys me. Not because I am biased to one side or I believe that one side is better than the other but the lack of respect that goes on when people are having these so-called 'discussions'. (on both sides)

I understand that when we did school debates, we would 'belittle' our opponent and try and make our point of view look more appealing than theirs. However, in this case, IT'S JUST DIFFERENT (I know, I'm terrible at presenting my case). Each and everyone of us have our own beliefs and when one person attacks the other saying something that disrespects them in anyway - is not making progress in the discussion whatsoever. If both parties want to present their point of view, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT CAN'T BE DONE IN A NON-JUDGMENTAL WAY.


On the same note, I see many people who defend their belief in intelligent design saying things such as "hahaha you are all going to hell". A 'holier-than-thou' mentality misses the entire point of believing in Christ in the first place! But that is the point though, none of us are perfect.


"...when others start taking the bible literally..... It is too funny"
Is it really? I don't sit in biology lectures laughing when my lecturer is talking about something she is truly passionate about. I have the decency (as does everyone else in the lecture) to let her have her say about things.

Let's say you have something precious to you. Let's say you introduce your friends to this amazing thing that you have, but when you show it to them, they laugh and point at you saying that it's ridiculous and it's the dumbest thing that you have ever seen. Naturally you'd feel hurt right?

I guess I'm just sensitive. But I am completely positive that people don't need to put each other down in order for their view to be presented.

In all of this, no I'm no better than the next person.

love,

EXCITEMENT


via paper.lilies


I ACTUALLY AM ABOUT TO BURST AT THE SEAMS
I WANT TO TELL EVERYONE THAT I KNOW
BUT I CAN'T
BUT WHEN I GET THE "OK".
I'LL BE ABLE TO TELL EVERYONE.
I AM SO EXCITED.
AND YOU WILL KNOW SOON.
I PROMISE
IT'S INSANE
IT'S ACTUALLY MORE EXCITING FOR ME
THAN IT PROBABLY IS FOR YOU.
OH.MY.GOODNESS.

(yes, my sister is engaged!)

love,

k.

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside. I'm not one of those who can easily hide. I don't have much money but boy, if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue anyway the thing is...

What I really mean...

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody, this is your song. It may be quite simple but, now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words ...

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

If I was a sculptor, but then again no, or girl who makes potions in a traveling show - I know it's not much but it's the best I can do. My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song. It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind that I put down in words...


How wonderful life is now you're in the world

love,

Let the RAIN



If my hands could hold them you'd see I'd take all these secrets in me and I'd move and mold them to be something I'd set free

I want to darken the skies. Open the floodgates up. I want to change my mind. I want to be enough. I want the water in my eyes. I want to cry until the end of time. I want to let the rain come down, make a brand new ground.

Let the rain come down






I hold on to worry so tight. It's safe in here right next to my heart. Who now shouts at the top of her voice, "Let me go, let me out, this is not my choice"

And I always felt it before that the world was filled with much more than the drowning soul I've learned to be I just need the rain to remind me ...

Let the rain come down

love,

So I think I have pride issues. I feel the need to defend anything that is remotely about me or mean something to me. Like the fact that I don't ask for help at Uni (which is ultimately my downfall) because

1) I don't want to bother anyone
2) I don't like asking questions that are seemingly obvious to everyone else except me
3) I don't like appearing weak or that I always need help (I mean if they can do it themselves why can't I?)

On another note, apologies for the hiatus, been busy with University.

I have a question for you.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE FOR YOUR ACTIONS?

This is applicable to everything in your life right now. Why do you study so much? Why do you sacrifice so much of your time on a seemingly pointless essay with sleepless nights? Why don't you just be a dole bludger? Why not go to a short course and live your life, instead of spending a whole chunk of it studying a University degree? In fact, why study at all? So you can have a comfortable life with a house, family... a dog perhaps? Is that it? What will you do when you have all that? Will it just be work .. family .. a particularly exciting event here and there... is that it?

I know my answers. I have my purpose. What's yours?

Just something to ponder.

love,

k
