Ken Miller on Intelligent Design

It is so incredible to me that in such an advanced world there are still those people who are so narrow minded that they cant accept the idea of evolution. I understand that these people are most likely completely dedicated into their religion but just because of that they cant close out all other theory's that have concrete facts to show their ideas. When Ken Miller brought up the incident with the biology books that had the warning sticker put on them I couldn't believe that these people would go that far. That made is seem as if the theory of evolution is something dangerous and made up. Its as if believing in evolution makes you a bad person.

Although I believe that religion is important in peoples lives I don't believe that just to be a good person you have to follow your religion without any questions. People should still keep their minds open to new ideas. I do believe in God but I don't believe that there was an Adam and Eve and an apple and all that stuff. It seems much more believable that we slowly evolved from another species than that our whole population started from two people who were put on Earth by God. I don't think that this makes me a bad Catholic, because I still have my morals, it just makes me open minded.
