Evolution . . . ha!

I love Jay Leno. He is an amazing comedian and talk show host. No matter who he has on his show, I love watching it. Even when it is someone who I don't care for, Jay makes it interesting and funny.

So I was watching Jay Leno last night. He had some scientist on his show. It was one of the ones who studies space. I guess he has a show on PBS too. He's the one who recategorized Pluto. He just wrote a book about it. Well he was talking to Jay about the things they have found on Mars. There was just a discovery on Mars, something about molecules or close to molecules, suggesting that maybe there was life on Mars, millions of thousands of years ago. The scientist and Jay then began talking about what if there had been life on Mars, and a meteor came and crashed into Mars, killing all life. Then pieces from Mars, with molecules from that life, flew through space and landed on Earth. Over the next thousands of years, those molecules evolved and, well, evolution!

I'm not very religious. My dad was raised Mormon, but does not attend church. My mom was raised Presbytyrian and attends a local Christian church. I attended with her until I was in high school, when I started fighting it and my parents finally gave in and stopped making me go. I was babtized Christian when I was two. I went to a Christian church camp from fourth grade until I was a sophmore in high school and loved it. I deeply believe in God and Jesus and everything in the Bible. I may not live a "Christian life," but I do believe.

So of course, this whole bit about life coming from Mars pisses me off. I hate the Big Bang Theory and can't even come close to believing in evolution. Do you honestly think that we came from monkeys? And now Mars?! No way. But this theory will stick with a lot of people. All the people who believe in evolution with love it. It will just feed their fire.
