Darwin's DNA: Andrea Lane
Ms. Lane talks about evolution and natural selection. She has the same view as the majority of scientists/philosophers, although i have to say she puts it in a way which is very interesting. She shares Mr Lanes example of cola lids. In the 50's and 60's they had to be opened with a can opener, but they have EVOLVED and now we have the pop top lids. This evolution was compared to how humans evolved. However i dont think i agree because we are talking about two totally different things. The soda lid is a technology which has been improved by humans. There is no science or biology to deal with creating a soda pop lid. On the other hand humans evolving is science and natural selection. There is another misconception that she talks about later in her book, "Creationists do not understand the connection between randomness at the DNA level and natural selection." Yes there may be many who dont fully understand DNA, but if God made everything wouldnt he have made DNA strands. This is where many people try to make you pick sides; either religion or science. I think this is where they both come together. Yes DNA can prove who we are, where we came from, and who we are related to but couldn't God have created that and couldn't that just be another piece of the puzzle to proving religion to coincide with science rather than disagree with it? Why can't they both be right? CHAKS TAKE
