The most common statement I hear when people start discussing evolution is something like this: "It doesn't matter - if God used evolution to create the Earth, that's fine. If he didn't that's fine too. It doesn't make a difference to my faith."
Does it not matter either way? For this week's assignment we will look at one reason it may matter a lot.

P.S. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to the geology hike! It was really fascinating. I wrote some of my experience here, but it's kind of personal so maybe don't read it if you don't know me because you'll likely misunderstand my intent in sharing my thoughts :-) Happy learning!
