Comment 7 of 8, added on October 12th, 2007 at 1:41 AM.

This comment is for Jwan Lopez and any others who decide to read this. There are many possible answers to complicated questions such as evolution and when the earth was made. I am a devote christian, but believe in these things and many other controversial topics. First off....evolution. We are still evolving, and everything else is evolving, the only problem is that it is a very long process. When i mean long i mean over millions of years. We can find evidence in this such as natural selection and fossil records. For example, there are no more short-neck giraffes because long-neck giraffes because a)they have a more dominant trait and b)the short-neck giraffe was unable to survive in the environment it was in whilst the long-neck was not. These however are just part of a grand design, but I will address this later. The creation of the Earth has so much evidence that it is hard for me to comprehend how it could not be over 10 billion years old. First off, whos to say our time and God's time are the same. if you seriously think about it, God's time is eternity and who is to say his day is the same as ours. Also, archeologists and scientists can date back rocks and meteorites over billions of years. Most importantly, the Big Bang. If you believe in the Big Bang, you are most likely to believe the Earth was created 16 billion years ago. Anyway, I will address no argument on the Big Bang and assume everyone believes are at the least acknowledges it as a possibility. So, recent scientists and researches have determined to the thousandth of a millisecond back to the Big Bang. There is no other explanation of this amazing event to have occured unless someone or something sparked it off. That being an intelligent designer or God. Next, s homosexuality. I don't like to address this subject because it effects peoples emotions, however, I would like to reduce the ignorance of some people. There is in fact a zoo in Africa that holds 2 gay vultures. They have researched with these animals and they both seem to hold a homosexual culture. If an egg is placed for them to care, they will both tend to it. if they are placed seperately with female vultures, they will not respond. And yes, they do try to reproduce. Now, with this evidence and the fact that 11% of the country is gay, how can you not agree that there are homosexuals. I tell you this, in my words, homosexuality is almost completely psychological. It involves ones environment and how they were raised as a child. For example if a ministers son is raised to live in a harsh environment where he is told that being gay is a sin and he will go to hell, on reaction of the son is to rebel, and become in fact gay. Also, this is only one reason. There is also more biological evidence that backs up certain gay qualities. But, Im not to familiar of the process, so if you wish to know more of your brain and the neuron, i advise you to take a psychology class. One more thing, being gay is also a peer pressure effect. Many teens I know become gay or experiment to be different, and I believe they are just aiding to the stereotypes people produce. One thing i will say though is I am sorry for posting this comment. I fully understand that this blog is for commenting on this poem, however i disagree with some of the comments Jwan made and refuse to just stand by. I will pray for all of you to find the answers to your questions, be it God or Science. Thankyou for your time.
