Evolution Trilogy

I agree that we are constantly being influenced by our environment, social interactions, cultural traditions, and life experiences.  Being a part of such a diverse world forces us to grab a hold of things that we see fit for our way of living and surviving.  Our environment consists of a combination of positives and negatives, producers and consumers, intelligent and ignorant, etc.  Although our environment is such, we are the dictators of how we process and manage what is before us.  There are things within our reach that we are able to dominate as well as those that are out of our control and we must adapt to them in order to survive.  Our parents raise us with certain values, morals, traditions, and behaviors that they were accustomed to and as we reach adulthood we tend to recreate our own way of being.  In this same manner, we will mold our children in a way that we see fit, but eventually they too will grow to form their own opinion and way of living which will differ from what we have taught them.  Our influences change as well as our thinking process.  I don't believe that nature uses deception to edit our being.  We simply adapt to our environment and do what is necessary to survive using the tools we have acquired and learned to use.

This film speaks of evolution versus creationism.  Our society is compiled of those who believe in creationism and those who believe in evolution.  Creationism is defined as the belief that the universe and living organisms originate from specific acts of divine creation.  Evolution is the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.  With that being said, how can anybody disprove one belief or the other?  Much less make such degrading remarks when referring to creationism.  The film focuses too much on attacking creationism by claiming that the idea of it is silly nonsense, idiotic, foolish, and unintelligible rather than giving specific, proven facts of its untruthfulness in order to prove the theory of evolution.  We live in a world that is diverse in individual intellectual practices and beliefs and this does not make one superior to the other.  They are simply different beliefs and should be equally respected.  I think William Lane Craig gave a more informative explanation of evolution versus creationism taking into account both beliefs in this video http://youtu.be/bqUaWiuR4TY
