HOW WE BECAME HUMAN

That's the title of the cover story in Time Magazine's latest issue. I invite you to read the article at http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1541283,00.html. Here is an interesting excerpt:

As scientists keep reminding us, evolution is a random process in which haphazard genetic changes interact with random environmental conditions to produce an organism somehow fitter than its fellows. After 3.5 billion years of such randomness, a creature emerged that could ponder its own origins-and revel in a Mozart adagio.

The article states that scientists have compared the human DNA with a chimp's DNA and they're 98.77% alike, but somehow that 1.23% of difference is a huge one and they can't quite figure out why, oh, but they're working hard on it, real hard, like they have been for 150 years since Darwin came up with the whole evolution theory.

Do you find it sad or comical that scientists continue to spend millions of hours and millions of dollars a year trying to prove a theory based on randomness and haphazard genetic changes in order to discover our origin? Or, just maybe, perhaps one day, scientists may actually be able to disprove evolution altogether and those molecular geneticists and anthropologists and biologists can focus their lives on a new study, starting in Genesis Chapter 1!
