Re: Evolution? How?

Evolution is believable for a number of reasons, but perhaps most simply, it just makes sense. Not only is it a perfect match for all the evidence we see around us, but it's pretty obvious just from looking around at living things.
If you really prefer to believe that magical beings *poofed* things into existence, then you have no need to try to understand the world around you at all. But if you have a serious interest in trying to make sense of things, without believing in magic, then biological evolution, as well as cosmic and atomic evolution make a whole lot of real-world-in-your-face-down-to-earth sense, and there's just no way around it.
So the first thing you have to ask yourself is, do you really care about trying to understand how nature works, or would you simply prefer to believe in magic. Because if it's Magic, then you may go happily on your way and ignore the thorns on the roses, because the rules of science and knowledge are meaningless to you.
