Hi all.
I was posting over at Evolution Fairy Tale for a while and quite frankly just feel like it is a complete waist of time. Rarely do the arguments go deeper than flies are still flies kind of thing. Occasionally someone will post something of substance, but no one really understands the argument, it is just a cut and paste that seems to agree with their position. So I decided to give this place a chance. I also participate over at EvC Forum, but lately the discussions over there are primarily political in nature, which I am not interested in.
I am a Christian, and I got involved in the evolution / creation debate about 6 - 7 years ago. I started out as a YEC mostly by default, I had never really thought about it. But as I began to think about it and do some research, I found that little, if any, of that position made any sense. Now I consider myself an Old Earth Creationist, but Theistic Evolutionist probably fits better. However, I don't care much for labels as they don't really tell the whole story.
Anyway, I have worked in the automotive industry most of my adult life as a tool and die maker and as you know, that industry has taken a serious dive in recent years. My participation in this debate renewed the love of science that I had as a kid and I have abandoned the manufacturing industry to pursue a career in science. I am now a senior at a small liberal arts university studying Environmental Biology (I choose this school because my wife worked there and tuition was free!! the only way I was going to be able to afford to go back to school). I expect to graduate in Fall 2013.
So, I am coming here hoping to be able to have some more in-depth discussions regarding evolutionary theory.
