Mumford and Friends

I've taken a liking to the band Mumford and Sons. But for some reason, I keep wanting to call them Mumford and Friends.

Currently, I'm sitting in the mac lab in the com building. I'm between classes. I'm eating an avocado. I'm drinking an orange carrot SoBe. There are three other people in this lab with me. I don't know them.

Today is Friday.

I spent almost every day this week thinking that it was Thursday when I woke up. Not sure why.

I just got out of my physics lecture. My prof really likes to have demonstrations. Today, he had a ball going through a loop-the-loop and a recking ball hanging from the ceiling.

Recently I watched this... documentary... I guess you could call it... About how evolution wasn't real and there is a divine designer making everything and here are all these reasons why... I was to say the least... upset... almost the whole time. I watched it because I was like, "well maybe it would do me good to hear something about what other people think." No. No. I was sorely mistaken.

He (a man with a PhD in biology, mainly studying evolution, who turned creationist) just talked about how there are animals who could not have possibly gone through evolution because it just simply would not have worked. They asked questions like: "Well how do you explain the giraffe and how the sponge under its brain controls the amount of blood that flows so that when it bends down for water it doesn't get too much blood to the brain?"

He was saying that in order for that animal to work, it had to be in that exact form when it was created. But what he was failing to talk anything about was (Jean-Babtiste Lamar's theory) that everything started out simple, then grew more complex. So the population of giraffes and the other animals he was talking about, that work really well now, used to be more simple, then changed in a way to better suit the environment and lifestyle that they live in.

Anywho; It frustrated me. But it's okay. I'm over it.

Here are some really good bands I just  listened to:

Mumford and Sons
Old Crow Medicine Show
Sia
The Avett Brothers

Off to Historical Geology.

Can't wait for these epic weekend plans.

  1. If you want to be completely freaked out....check out Ken Ham and "Answers in Genesis" or the "young earth" people...I'm a creationist/intelligent design believer and they scare me!
