Let me tell you a little about Aldous Huxley. He's well known as the writer of Brave New World, the faux-utopia story about genetic engineering and eugenics that was so far ahead of its time, Singapore was cited as a GE centre way back when it was written in 1932.
But I digress. Huxley fired questions at evolutionary theory, attacking it with every problem he could find; not because he disagreed with it, but that he so desperately wanted it to be true.
I can't help doing the same with Christian belief. In university life, stuff happens--I'd use the cruder version, but I've used my bad word quota for the day. Now if only I had some inkling of the "peace of God, which passes all understanding." Sigh...
(Yeah, I'm not alone. The prophet Jeremiah felt the same way--in far, far worse circumstances.)

In keeping with the melancholy atmosphere, here's a video that's funny, telling, and sad. All at the same time.
