Evolution's Gaze



They say evolution as if evolution had eyes, a will, a thought... but it doesn't, not really.  Just random chance, and a definition based in the simplest of terms possible: what survived to reproduce, and what failed in the attempt.  Those who say the God of the Old Testament is a harsh and hostile God never met evolution face to face, that much is for sure and certain.  But be kind and don't tell them that, it is a way huge thing for them to believe otherwise.  They have a great deal invested in believing they are more advanced, more civilized than their fellows who will say God when they might say evolution when what both mean is that no one really knows who or what caused something to happen the way it did.
