The thing about a theory in science is it allows you make predictions. Evolutionary theory allows us to predict what apples will taste good next harvest.

I understand that you take the Bible, as written in English, translated many many times over the last three millennia as to be a more accurate, more reasonable assessment of the natural laws we see around us than what I and everybody in here can observe. That, to me, is unsettling.

The information you get from social media is not a substitute for academic discipline at all.

Unlike science, creationism cannot predict anything, and it cannot provide satisfactory answers about the past.

I tell personal stories associated with aspects of the theory, and I hope they are interesting and compelling. I don't feel you're going to change a grownup's mind in one reading. People have to be exposed to scientific ideas over and over again for years. It's also not a textbook.

The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.

As you may know, I am a mechanical engineer.
