Fitting the Holes of Theory and Faith
             Since the dawn of human awareness, we have wondered how we have come to exist and for what purpose, yet no theory thus far has even been agreed upon, let alone proven. Philosophers, theologians, and scientists have argued back and forth about our origin for centuries, producing copious quantities of literature, and it continues to this day. The justification for my beliefs on the issue which am to present here may simply come to be seen as another log to throw on the growing stack, but I am inclined to think that it will have new merit since I will be attempting to appeal to both believers in faith, and to those who feel that Darwin said it all.

             My first point is to argue the contrary; religion can coexist with evolution. A recent study done into the actual evidence which supports the theory shows that though the theory of evolution does show trends in evolutionary stages, at the present time there are no known fossi...
