Antithetically, I come here to escape all that crap. I don't watch TV, and selectively choose which news stories to follow. These days even the Weather Channel over-dramatizes the slightest gust of wind.

And as for the subject at hand (so that I'm not hijacking)... I have always believed that science is the rational expression of the world around us. Science cannot create existence any more than a hammer alone can build a house.

So I sit in the middle. I think you can have evolution, at the hands of creation. Again, think about the hammer and the house.
