We went to the Smithsonian yesterday for Rohanna's birthday trip. BTW, in my opinion, $112 for a trip for 6 to the Smithsonian, which is 2.5 hours away is pretty good if you ask me. We even came in UNDER budget by $9, with an over priced Starbucks stop, and a $5 Veggie Tales DVD for the trip home.
It was rainy, it was gross, the damp wetness made my whole body hurt, and my feet were soaked. It is all cool though. The kids loved it and the boys can never ever say to me again..."It's no fair. Rohanna got to ride the train and we didn't."
The first stop was the Natural Museum of History. EVERYTHING is evolution. Ok, I get it, so many umpteen million years ago.....Oh, yeah, it's HISTORY!!! Not a theory started by one very "enlightened" man who was bitter at the God who would take his daughter away from him. It's fact now.
It stuck me as they kept explaining away things that didn't quite "add up in their little box" how evolution takes faith too. You need to rely on a human being's say so that it really IS so. You have to believe that there truly WAS a speck of dust that just set this chain of fortunate events into play.
Either way, I am not trying to belittle anyone. Please don't take it that way. For me though, I would much prefer to believe that there is a divine being who was and always is, who just IS eternally, who cared enough to make me and everything around me, then to believe that there was a speck of dust that just always was, that started what is today.
