The Unlucky Troll

Another story by an unnamed nine-year-old girl that lives here 🙂

Once there was an unlucky troll. He had a hard time communicating with others. He had a lot of stress bottled up. He had to rewrite all of the stories that he wrote, because they were burned in a fire. He had some friendship rings for all the friends he made but he lost them all. Every time he tied his shoes they came untied. One day, he lost his voice so he had to communicate by using hand signs. He never started smiling until one day one lady troll walked by and she was unlucky too. She wanted a friend so they went to play. Everybody laughed at them and thought they were ugly except for one person, the loneliest person ever, he doesn’t even have a house of belongings. So the unlucky troll and the pretty troll gave half of their stuff away in a garage sale to earn some money to buy the lonely troll some things. They ended up with so much more all of them bought a house and millions more belongings.

If you can’t tell, we have been watching Shrek lately (the four-year-old has to watch everything 42 times).

Creationist Nonsense

Here are a few answers to some of the creationist nonsense that goes right along with my post on evolution earlier.

I am still flabbergasted after reading that article. The fact is that scientific theory generally are proven facts. A Hypothesis is something that hasn’t been proven yet, and most of the fundies basically are referring to it as the Hypothesis of Evolution, which it is not. Just because it has not yet been named a natural law doesn’t make it any less true.

Evolution in the US

I ran across this link at Paul Spoerry’s site the other day and wanted to post it. Apparently as scientifically advanced as we are, evolution is less accepted in the United States as it is in other western countries.

Over the last 20 years we have moved to a much more fundamentalist Christian attitude and a large percentage of people say that they don’t know whether to believe evolution or not. What’s not to believe and who says that God and evolution can’t coexist? It’s not as if it’s not a proven theory and for those among us that think that the word “theory” equates with “guess”, get a clue.
