Intelligent Design vs. Darwinism

No, this post isn't about my thoughts on such a controversial topic - I just want to send you to another blog by Carolyn McCulley- solofemininity.blog.com. Her post today is about the new documentary "Expelled:No Intelligence Allowed" narrated by Ben Stein. I had no idea that this was out in theaters and am grateful for the news and also the trailer clips and interviews on her blog. I am eager to go see this movie and would urge anyone else to see it and be informed. Yes, as a Christian we undoubtedly believe that God is the creator of all but I know for myself I can then be ignorant of anything else that wouldn't be truth and seems idiotic but anti-God is huge and very sad. I know I said this post wasn't on my thoughts and intellectually I have no place to stand up on a soap box but after watching the trailer of the really, really smart men share their beliefs on science, religion and God I was very grateful to be able to teach my kids science that has God at that center of it all (a little plug for Apologia science curriculum).

Our new friends.

Every day we feed two ducks which I named Violet and Millard. They are
so cute when we see them waddling across the street back to the
lake.
They come to our house every day for bread. Violet is very greedy. She used to snatch all of the bread before Millard could get any. Now only Violet comes to our house. Yesterday, Violet came into our backyard by sliding under our
picket fence. She came very close to me and Matthew. We hope
she has her ducklings in our yard.
