Parables are a good way to teach. Jesus often used parables to teach a lesson. Parables can even be a good way to teach science. However, parables cannot be used to establish scientific fact. Unfortunately, Charles Darwin frequently used parables as part of his scientific method. Many modern evolution- ists continue that tradition. Let’s look at an example. Those who believe in evolution have tried to find an explanation for why some birds have luxurious, bright plumage. Does the peacock really need those brilliant tail feathers? Well, say evolutionists, females prefer the males with the most beautiful plumage. So the brightest males had more babies. Evolutionists IF YOU NEED: call this sexual selection.

By Ashleigh Viveiros

The South Central Hurricanes have a win streak going on in the Winni- peg Womens Soccer League’s 2nd Division. The ladies downed CCC United 3-1 in front of a hometown crowd July 5, making it three wins in a row and bumping up their record so far this summer to 7-2-3. The Hurricanes are in a battle for fi rst place with SE Reunited and Syn- ergy, with all three teams at 24 points, though the other two teams are both at 9-1 with three games in hand over the ‘Canes. This week, the ladies were slated to play the Red Hot Pink Flamingos Wednesday on the road. Results were not available at press time. Next week Wednesday they host Hanover Elite at 7:30 p.m. In the Manitoba Major Soccer League, the Winkler Storm bested the visiting Britannia Rovers Sunday night. Nico Nickel was the evening’s star, scoring all three of Winkler’s goals en route to the 3-2 victory. Winkler is currently 4-5 so far this summer, keeping them in the middle of the pack in the league’s 1st Divi- sion standings.
