Description

I've always wanted to create a simple animation explaining evolution. The animation would be for young viewers who are unfamiliar with the topic so that they understand what the conversation is about before being told to ignore it completely.

When I was young I learned about evolution and it conflicted with a lot of things I was taught in my Catechism class. It allowed me to start questioning the world around me and figure things out on my own. It made me realize that the world is a complicated place and that it takes years of research just to understand a single thing about it. 

My teachers at church would reply to my big questions with minuscule answers like "God did it", and it would sell me short of some amazing experiences. Knowing how something works gives me a bigger appreciation for it and I'd hate for others to be robbed of that.

Look up Natural Selection and Artificial Selection if you're interested in the topic of evolution and remember that denying evolution is denying change and mutations that actually happen within our DNA. You could lie to yourself for the sake of defending your religion, but lying is a sin and I'll see you in hell.

Love that description. Pretty much describes my catholic school experience. Although, I was lucky enough that I made it to highschool before our diocese decided evolution would no longer be taught.

Unfortunately, I really have no idea as the diocese near my home is not the same as the one in charge of the high school I attended.
I do really hope things have changed... but last I heard, from friends in younger grades, that rule was still in place 2 years ago (making it 3-4 years total). So the damage to the new generation of students in that area is probably done.

sometimes you have to wonder if the monkeys are smarter than we think and have ways of hiding it!

I watched a documentary where zoo keepers celebrated holidays with the monkeys, Everytime Christmas would roll around, the Monkeys would freak out, hug each other and cry. Monkeys are incredible!
