I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.
Argh, that goofy comment! What poor schmuck thinks evolutionary theory makes life gloomy?
It makes it beautiful. To realize that we're all related, that we all share the same basic proteins and molecular-level functions, etc — that makes the case for stewardship of this planet and its life much stronger, if you ask me. That and it's beautiful.
One thing that annoys the absolute piss out of me is the common fuckwit belief that evolution says anything at all about the origin of life (it doesn't — that's abiogenesis). Surely, because we didn't evolve (?!?) some sky-captain must've poofed us all into being on a whim (and the the sky-captain's whim certainly can't be construed as an "accident", right?).
