(It kind of gets my goat when faced with the choice of "you can believe science, or you can believe the Bible." To me, that's a false choice, the fallacy of the excluded middle. The choice is not simply between science and the Bible. There's another choice. The third thing to consider is one's own interpretation of scripture.)

Amen to that!!!!!!!!!! As I learn this stuff there may be some things I don't quite see the same as some of the Evo's. But , how am I going to know that if I don't take the time to ask questions and learn. I like reading andyandmikesmom's post. Apart from the fact that she is a classy lady, she asks good questions.

I think the experience we gain as we get older helps us really know our interest. When I was in school, I changed my major 4 times. Ridiculous! I just had no clue what I wanted to do. On the one hand, a degree in business was practical, and could be applied to many areas. On the other hand, I really liked art. Two completely unrelated fields! At one point I was an Eductation major, and briefly, a history major. I also considered geology. I was able to finish in four years, but only because I went to summer school every year. I graduated with a ridiculous amount of hours for only one degree. I had enough hours from a previous major, that I started back for a second degree. I only lacked one more semester, but was very pregnant at this point. I was burnt out on school, and ready to be a mom. My first child didn't sleep for about the first nine months of his life, which meant I didn't either. Then we had two more children. They were all two years apart, so I was kind of busy.

I was also a slacker in my youth too. I was blessed in the fact that I could make good grades without trying too hard. So, I didn't. I attribute that to being lazy and spoiled! It makes me mad now because there was so much more that I could have, and should have learned. I look at it as a lost opportunity. Darn it!

I'm giving a lot of consideration to going back to school in the next few years. Right now, with the kids the age they are, I want to focus on them. However, I don't plan to continue with my other degree. I'm interested in history again.

I bet you are not wasting the amount of time, and money that I did. It really urks me. Can you tell?
