The main characters in the book refer to this behavior by saying "think of it as evolution in action." You do something stupid, you die, you don't reproduce, you genes do not continue in the gene pool.<br /><br />A related site online gives out "Darwin Awards" to people who die in particularly stupid ways. They even sell t shirts. Their slogan:<br /><br />Honoring those who improve the species...by accidentally removing themselves from it! <br /><br />The site is http://www.darwinawards.com/<br /><br />Anyway, my contribution to Evolution Sunday.Pastor Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510081361292855641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-71706594087187589692010-01-23T08:30:02.938-08:002010-01-23T08:30:02.938-08:00Great post John ! .

Bill Crawford let it be known that your activities have "been reported". Evidently you have not been excommunicated or de-frocked or otherwise expelled from the Presbyterian Church (yet), which makes me hold the Presbyterian Church with higher regard than I might have otherwise. In short, I am pretty sure that if I lived in your neighborhood I would probably be a close associate of your enterprise, if not an outright member. I look forward to following your writings here (and elsewhere) as your take on religion is about the best thing that I have happened upon. Thanks for your efforts!<br /><br />SteveSteve Schulerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17507446648186799208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-60108235280936369872010-01-23T07:47:30.774-08:002010-01-23T07:47:30.774-08:00Thankfully a lot of UUs are in support of Evolutio...Thankfully a lot of UUs are in support of Evolution Sunday and have written their own letter. Obviously, the problem is not with the UUs. Michael Dowd and Connie Barlow came to visit us in 2008. Our local UU congregation teamed up with us to host them. They have some good stuff <a href="http://thankgodforevolution.com/" rel="nofollow">over here</a> and <a href="http://www.thegreatstory.org/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.John Shuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798753206614838161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-3767597590585370362010-01-23T07:23:11.942-08:002010-01-23T07:23:11.942-08:00Well, this is what happens when you leave mainlin...Well, this is what happens when you leave mainline Christian churches (United Church of Christ) and join the Unitarians. I had no idea what "evolution sunday" was about.<br /><br />Unfortunately, our new part-time consulting minister (a former Lutheran) is preaching for the first time on the 14th. I'll ask him if he's going to introduce "evolution Sunday" to us UUs who are clearly behind the times.<br /><br />HAH!<br /><br />Loved the Lord swicheroo.Sea Raven, D.Min.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11437086460582996056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-54937841030674134912010-01-22T21:19:28.133-08:002010-01-22T21:19:28.133-08:00That's cool!That's cool!John Shuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798753206614838161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-40741148200993654482010-01-22T21:14:14.804-08:002010-01-22T21:14:14.804-08:00I'm sorry but we've evolved to the point w...I'm sorry but we've evolved to the point where we'll celebrate evolution Sunday at home.
