Evolution is Not the Problem

It frustrates me that any religious believer thinks that evolution is somehow at odds with the goodness of God in a way that a theism which rejects evolution is not. If one thinks about the birth defects, illnesses, and other things highlighted in this video which Hemant Mehta and PZ Myers both recently shared…

…it is in no way depicting God as more benevolent to say that, rather than those things being an inevitable part of the process which was the best way to create, those are things individually willed and deliberately inflicted on the creation by the Creator.

It may not make things better to embrace evolution, but it certainly doesn’t make the situation worse.

And singing ignorant songs which show no comprehension of the science that is being rejected does not do you any favors, either (HT Stuff Fundies Like):
