Thoughts on Evolution

I blog whenever I feel inclined to. Haha.

This semester, I'm taking Evolutionary Psychology as a major prescribed elective. One of the main concerns I've had is about how evolution clashes with my faith, and by studying this subject, my views towards the subject or my faith may.. waver. Still, I'm quite confident that this will not be the case.

Okay, so species exist because of this whole process of natural selection. If this were indeed true (we're not rejecting the possibility), why can't it have happened because God made it this way? Why can't it be that he created the very first batch of organisms, and then let speciation occur by evolution? I know that Darwin proposed that all life evolved and branch out of a common ancestor, a single being. Up till now, I still don't see how, say, we can be similar to a fish.

This whole science vs religion war should just.. vanish. They can complement each other, I think it's just how you look at it.

And for the rest of this semester, I'm just gonna take this approach as I study this course - God allowed natural selection to take place because He sets all rules of nature. Well all accept the part on human evolution, that's just.. ridiculous.
