I consider myself a champion of evolution. Ever since I was a wee lad - which technically includes most of high school - I’ve been an avid learner of evolutionary theory. In college, I finally found my academic paradise in the geology department studying paleontology. How beautiful it is to look at a series of fossil bones and bone fragments covering hundreds of millions of years and seeing the changes over time.

Not too long ago I had a conversation with a family member. He related how he had seen a “world-renowned” scientist on TV, and he had said that there was absolutely no evidence for evolution. I was shocked. I knew the scientist he was referring to [though the name escapes me at the moment]. This “world-renowned” scientist who apparently has all the answers is a molecular biologist. Why is this relevant?

First off, how many people believe the Theory of Gravity? That’s right. It’s a THEORY that keeps you from rocketing off the planet. I would venture to guess that everyone who isn’t a Lawsonomist believes that gravity exists. Would you believe that there is almost no evidence for gravity? That’s right. We have no idea how gravity works. We don’t know why it works. But everyone accepts it as truth.
