More thoughts

Well, I realized I had more thoughts right after I posted, so here goes.

The evolution/creationism/intelligent design argument has come back into the limelight in the world. I really don't care I've decided. It's stupid for me as a Christian to argue how the world began when that part doesn't matter to my salvation. I think it's an opportunity for me to change the argument and bring light upon Jesus. I'm glad we can discuss intellectual issues such as how the world began, but I think it's gonna take a lot more than a human effort to understand that. As far as I'm concerned, the arguments against intelligent design say that there is nothing that it backs up, but it uses science to confirm things in the Bible. They don't mention that...it's just interesting. Look at me though, I'm turning the conversation right back to that stupid point instead of pointing out that salvation in the important thing. I dunno, just a thought.

The other thought of mine is about the good ole NCAA. Today, they offically rejected the Universtiy of Illinois' appeal to the previous NCAA ruling on banning 'hostile' mascots. They did however allow us to keep the name Illini and Fighting Illini. They said we could keep those because they derive from the state. However, they said the tradition of Chief Illiniwek is one that we cannot keep. The logo and the portrayal of the Chief are deemed in appropriate. So it will be interesting to see how the UofI deals with this ruling and how the NCAA proceeds as well. The interesting thing about the Chief is that a famous Native American donated the current uniform to the University for the use of the Chief. The point is, I think ALL the information needs to be pointed out before we jump to conclusions.

That's it
