Spring Break
Abstract:
In high school, I attempted to formulate a theory mending evolution and creationism. I failed miserably. I researched evolution tirelessly, went to Bible study, and dredged through dribbling science journals and long-winded evangelist speeches. To be fair, however, I was not equipped with the tools to achieve this aim so soon....

Brett,
In your article you wrote:
"Poets and philosophers ..., they are all reliant upon a false assumption, one that has refused to be challenged for far too long: the assumption that God cares. That God cares about us and our existence."
However,
in the Bible,
God tells us that He does care for us:
Nahum 1:7
The LORD is good,
a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him,
And:
1 Peter 5:5-8 (New International Version)
5Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."[a] 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he (God) cares for you.
8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
As a Christian (Catholic) parent, I'll trust the Word of God, including the following:
Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
