David MacMillan: Ham's Ark Embraces Evolution

I’m planning on starting law school next fall, yes, but I’ve worked in law firms for over a decade. The legal aspects of the whole creationism nonsense are of particular interest to me.

Personally, I’m somewhere between agnostic and liberal Anglican.

I found my way out of YEC because I tried to prove YEC and failed. I was a rather ardent supporter of creationism, and organizations like AiG encourage budding apologists to go deep, get a hard science degree, and then come back and be full-time creationists. So that’s what I set out to do, more or less.

During my undergrad, I gradually developed the research skills to be able to evaluate creation “science” at a more granular level. Slowly but surely, I found that the deeper I looked, the more evolution checked out. I tried to learn everything about biology I could, in the hopes of finding the smoking gun that would blow it all to pieces, and eventually I found myself convinced.
