Last Thursday I returned to school as a full time student for the first time in 22 years. I must say at the outset that I love being a student almost as much as I love teaching. One of the classes that I am taking is a biology class and it is steeped in evolution.
Now I understand that evolution can be applied in two major senses, micro and macro. Micro evolution is, or evolution on the small scale is demonstrable and in most cases true. An example of micro evolution would be dog breeding. Mate dog A with dog B and get new breed of dog C or get a dog of the same breed as the other two with a specific trait. While on the other hand macro evolution, which has never been demonstrated, is on the large scale; for example, a dinosaur changing into a bird.
After the first class I was conflicted as to what I should do and Saturday morning God provided the answer through a post on the AIG Blog. That article has given me insight into how to attend the class and answer questions without compromising my beliefs.
