Similar biase? Please tell me who that is! Don't bother! I am an intellect yes, a comedian yes. But, I am also a sponge! Right now I am communicating with you because you are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY smarter then me! We only established a thought of continuous disaster. Therefore, how evolution? I have need to be YOUR student. Yet, we can't ignore the continuous disasters if we wish to but things in a geological correct context, whatever that is.
You seem to exhibit an unseemingly eagerness to latch onto out of context sound bite that can misinterpreted to make evolution sound to people of a similar biase as you to be less plausible.
The bible itself has zero conflict with what you have said--NONE! How could it! Does understanding what the bible says make me smart? Or, does it make me curious? The bible says that if I make the companion of fools, I will be a fool! I would rather be befriended by you, because your not a fool, then a thousand clergy, whom are fools!
You are an interesting one. I don't have a good feel yet of where you're coming from. I hope you stick around,
I too recognize that Anomalocaris is one smart cookie. I think of myself as pretty smart compared to the average person but I recognize my better there. No shame in that. As Quigon Jinn (or whatever to hell his name was) said in, "The Phantom Menace", "There is always a bigger fish." Such a pearl of wisdom.
I think I may be able to help you with your problem with evolution: The universe doesn't care whether or not you or I (or anyone else) can understand it or intuit it. Our limitations do not dictate what is real or unreal. The beauty of science is that it takes that personal bias out of the loop by including others (peer review) in the conversation. You see, we all have different strengths and weaknesses. Where you or I may have our judgement clouded by our own personal biases, there will always be others who can look at the problem more objectively because they don't have the same emotional investment we do.
Science is dispassionate and it can be cruel. It cuts away the bullshit without regard to who's feelings will be hurt. Evolution has been looked at and tested literally thousands of times and has never come up short. It is right up there with General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics as theories which have withstood so much challenge over such a period of time that it's only a principle of the scientific method that they are not called, The Law of Evolution, The Law or Relativity and The Law of Quantum Mechanics.
If you have a problem with evolution, you have a problem with reality. You need to get straight with that before addressing the existence/non-existence of God. We can argue about the latter but the former is a done deal. If you deny evolution, you are in the wrong place. You may as well be on a "Flat Earth" message forum.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
