Glass Menagerie Unbroken

For those of you not reading my facebook page, I'm A.D.-ing and S.M.-ing a bit for the SBCT production of 'Glass'. We had our first 'unofficial' performance before going public tomorrow and in light of a few technical difficulties, it went well. I'm looking forward to the run and to the after-parties that will follow. An added bonus to the show is working with my fellow 'Zombetches' once again this year. Thanks to the cast and crew for all that they do to make this production a success.

Facebook Junkie, All Aboard!

It would appear that my idol time will spent on my facebook page (hence, the reason for the time in between my postings on here). This is simply a journal to express specific views. Facebook does open up the option to create and share a much broader sense of who I am (i.e. likes, dislikes and even get into specifics about those likes and dislikes). So, if you're just dying to know more about yours truly, check me out on Facebook. You can look me up by name (pssst, Jody Thorla) and/or my e-mail address (pssst again, musikelskr@sbcglobal.net). I will continue to post here as I fight of my uncontrollable urges to post on Facebook.

Evolution or Creationism

To start off, I am an atheist so, you know where this posting is going to go in terms of choice. Duh? I believe with all my heart that evolution contains within it more of the truth than creationism contains. Creationism uses 'god' as some kind of crutch to support the theories presented from that perspective. Bottom line, creationism is not probable. Evolution, some say, is impossible (and yet, it's quite probable and quite possible). One cannot disprove the other easily so, given the choice of which one I would choose. I would have to say that I personally believe in evolution. While we cannot disprove one over the other, I believe that we should find a better explantion that's based upon this thing called reality and not in some fictional story with 'god' playing the lead role. Not using 'god' in place of, 'I don't know'. Be honest with yourself and others. Using a 'god'(which is possible but not probable) to explain the unknown and/or mistakes seems rather lame, to me. Own up to your own actions. 'God' has nothing to do with reality beyond being simply another story to tell within it. Atheists believe in reality and the established, documented truth of the world we live in. Creationism suggests that 'god' stepped in and awswered all the questions, absolutely (not!!!). Provide evidnece to back creationism. So far, I've seen not one shred of anything that absolutley disproves either or. I just feel comfortable knowing that I can believe and live life as I see fit for myself, Darwin's Theory (yes, it's a theory based upon generations of documented facts) of Evolution rules in 'The House of Thorla'.
