Key Purpose: The purpose of this article is to explain the evidence of evolutionary flaws.
Key Ideas
- People believe that pandas are a sign that God created the world
- They believe that the panda is a sign from God because it does not have the “attitudes to try to survive, to diet, reproduce, etc.
- The panda unlike other bears is a vegetarian that prefers less nutrition than it needs.
- Males do not instinctively know how to reproduce
Key Conclusion:
This story seems, to me, somewhat odd, just because of the connection that was made between God and pandas. I would agree that the attitudes of the pandas are weird but it doesn’t seem all that different than some humans. I chose this story in particular because the whole God vs. Evolution battle interests me. On that matter, I believe that evolution can be an answer to how instead of why. This is definitely an interesting topic but sometimes I feel that people are desperately trying to prove the other party wrong. From this story, I feel that this is almost a desperate attempt to bring together an animal and God, showing that God is in evolution. I am not saying that the article is wrong in saying the panda’s connected to God, but it doesn’t seem like a well thought out theory. The traits of the panda are indeed not pointed toward survival, but I don’t think that God would create an animal, just to disprove evolution. These are my thoughts about this article.
