Evolution

I saw a post on facebook a while back that kinda made me a little upset with how people educate themselves. The statement was that 'evolution is false in every way' (or something along those lines). Now, whoever reads my blog knows I like dictionary definitions so why change now?

ev·o·lu·tion   
[ev-uh-loo-shuhn or, especially Brit., ee-vuh-]
–noun
1. any process of formation or growth; development: the evolution of a language; the evolution of the airplane.
2. a product of such development; something evolved: The exploration of space is the evolution of decades of research.
3. Biology. change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift.

In this case, I don't think evolution is wrong. At all. Now, the person was obviously referring to definition 3. As a Christian, I can see where they might be trying to come from because the theory of evolution has been tied together when the origin of species. I believe evolution happens. To say it doesn't happen would make anybody seem like they don't know what they're talking about. However, to say that humans evolved from primates? Yeah, I don't believe that. At all. I believe we were made and that our God has a plan for everyones lives. I have experienced miracles, I have experienced situations where it couldn't be anything but God that made it happen.

Now, back to evolution. Natural selection obviously happens. If it didn't, how come so many species become extinct even year to year? How come there is variations of species? I see myself as a realistic person. I believe what makes sense in my mind. That being said, I am a Christian, and I believe that evolution happens. To say species all came from the same place doesn't make sense. To say humans came from primates makes no sense. Yes primates are smart and 'similar' to humans, but they are not us! We are not them!

That's all I have to say about this. Sorry if it doesn't seem to flow together very well. I was watching Auction Hunters as I wrote this.
