"I find it hard to believe that emotions such as love, sorrow, and awe came about purely as evolutionary byproducts."

Well, look at it this way. I'm sitting in an insulated house with running water and electricity. My socks are made from recycled plastic bottles. I'm typing on a machine so powerful that as recently as three generations ago, this type of power would've been unthinkable for the richest government in the world, never mind a middle class individual. And I'm using that incredible power and all the technology that went into it (technology I don't even understand!) to tap into an international web of information, talking to people I don't know and have never met, and when I hit "post comment", another person on another continent will be able to read what I wrote in a matter of seconds.

And all of this-- ALL of it-- was accomplished within the span of less than thirty years. Which is why I'm puzzled when people think evolution isn't capable of this or that when we're talking about world-shaping forces occurring over millions and millions of years. Because even though I could text someone in China using one finger or use satellite technology to find the nearest McDonalds, evolution is the thing that sounds improbable.

Anon, did you take my comment to mean I didn't believe in evolution at all? Because I definitely do...I'm a biology student, I'd have a hard time getting by not believing evolution is a thing xD;
