Ryan's Thoughts

I am a Christian and do not believe in evolution. Let's just get that out there right now. After hearing that statement, you likely thought one of two things - hey strong work brother for believing in God! Or hey man, how could you let religion control your mind like that!  Am I right? The funny thing is, I cannot for the life of my figure out why these two thoughts would be opposing. My personal faith offers no objection to the theory of evolution.

From kindergarten through my master's program and to this day, owning this girl is what kept me doing my homework and working hard at my job (Ok, I drive a 15 year-old Acura right now. Maybe I should have studied and worked a little harder!).
