Uh oh, an evolution debate. I stick by the quote that "God works in mysterious ways". I don't see God as a giant hand that reaches out of the sky, but as an invisible force that generally uses small events to change things. Also take into account that the bible was written thousands of years ago. "And then the natural evolutionary process of carbon cells generated from the water slowly evolved into multi-cellular organisims" is hardly something an ancient scholar would understand or be able to record. And we can't ignore evidence. Religion and science can co-exist usually, and I still believe most of the bible, but when it comes to a debate between every day science and a small error in an ancient text that has been rewritten, translated, and retold orally over the course of over ten thousand years, it's best to go with what you can see first hand.
And about science and religion co-existing, I once compared scientific and biblical theories of creation of the universe. They both matched up almost perfectly in sequence, except every "day" in the bible was equal to about ten billion years in the scientific theory. Too strange to be coincidince.

I can prove this wrong but won't.

*sigh*, people get this odd idea I'm craving attention, frendship, and meaning in life. If I want friends, you would be supprised how quickly I make them. I have my reasons for generally not wanting friends, though when I make a friend they usually remain my friend for years to come.
And I don't criticize Faw cruely to do things "right" in an attempt to send him into some depressed vortex of chaos and meaningless, or for me to get friends or attention. I criticize Faw because he needs it. One can be as happy as they want however they are. We can quit our jobs, leave school, live with our parents forever, and enjoy it if we wish. One can mock happiness without doing anything, though it's generally assiciated with drugs. But to reach our actual
goals in life, you must never accept your skills as "good enough". We all want to reach goals, but we can't get there without effort.
And like I always say, you should accept criticism, no matter how many ways or excuses you come up with to ignore it. It's ten times easier to just take criticism than to spend your life running from it. Honestly, it's like trying to get a little kid to go to the dentist; you can put it off all you want, but you HAVE to do it eventually.
The worst thing we can do is stop trying to be the best. Everyone wants to be the best. Some people will become the best. Future generations will have to become better than these people to become best. As the definition of "best" is raised, it becomes a record we have to try harder to break. Striving for perfection is the only way our species can advance.
But back on topic: The eyes are offset from the irises, is what I was trying to say.
