On evolution.

Legally, evolution is science, and though there are differing theories on the exactness of evolution, evolution has provided evidence for it's existence.

A U.S. court in Pennsylvania has established that intelligent design cannot be taught in school. Intelligent design "advances 'a particular version of Christianity,'" and is "'nothing less than the progeny of creationism,' the belief that the world was created by God as outlined in the book of Genesis."
There are a few other instances in the following article.

And though the pope disagrees, his chief astronomer said that intelligent design 'isn't science, even though it pretends to be,'" and that if it is "taught in schools, then it should be taught in religion or cultural history classes, but thatit should not be on the science curriculum.'"

In the latest Discover magazine, there's an article on something we have never seen before. Some new kind of virus, that is both alive and dead, but neither... the argument goes on. It is now considered possible that a virus was the first life form.

It's accepted legally and scientifically that we evolved.

Would it be so bad to have been accidental? It makes it all so much more significant. This is the one chance we have to live. Each moment is to be savored, because this is it. It helps me appreciate the life that all things are given.

If you can't get that, that's really sad.
