I'm Kelly, happy to be here.
I haven't attempted blogging since my stint with Xanga a few years back. Remember when the things I had written about my crappy job were found by my co-workers? Remember when they created a Xanga account just to leave me a mean comments? Goodness. Subsequently, I shut that bad boy down and this is where I pick up with you today, Blogger. com!
No lies, I'm pretty pumped.
So lately, the number one thing on my mind has been the relationship between science and religion. I know, I know, let's start off on a touchy subject. I'm in an Archaeology class here at UNT simply trying to fill my natural sciences credit, and I've become overwhelmed by all this talk of evolution. I welcome things that challenge the way I think because either I learn from them and change my opinion or I do research that strengthens my original position. With this though, it's different. I honestly don't remember studying evolution in school prior to this semester, and if I did (a) it was before I called myself a devout follower of Jesus Christ or (b) it was during 7th grade biology when I concentrated more on Mr. Sadlo - he was cute, think: Ross Geller from FRIENDS - than the subject matter being taught.
Was that awkward?
Continuing on...
What I'm wondering is if there is any way for me to say, "I'm a follower of Jesus Christ. I believe He's the son of God and that he died for my sins, but I at the same time I can't disprove the scientific theories that exist." I'm wondering how I can get across the point that I feel like God is even bigger than the Bible, all the scientific theories, and every unanswerable question that exists. Everything is under the umbrella that is God, how things happened from there... might not be my place to decide. Does that even make sense?
Other than that, DFW Scene has given me the opportunity to do something I love ! Write and about MUSIC, bands, venues, shows, etc. Nothing could be more up my alley and I'm ecstatic.
Until Next Time,
Kelly
PS - Did anyone else read about the 990lb squid found in New Zealand? His arms were 30 feet long!
