The Current Story

I think that evolution told as a narrative, non-foundationalist story is an interesting idea. I like it and find it thought provoking, but I am also not so sure how far I want to believe it. I have found in this class so far that all the ideas and stories that we have discussed have had merit but have left me wanting more or just flat out not buying it. I can definitly agree tha the story of evolution works best as a non-foundationalist story, but the narrative part I am not so sure that I like. Usually when you read a narrative you are getting the story from a single perspective and I don't really think that a story like that of evolution should relegate itself to a single perspective because it can be seen and understood in so many ways. I am not exactly sure what I am trying to say here, but maybe something along the lines of the story of evolution as a narrative, non-foundationlist story is like a building block to bigger picture that includes everyone and many perspectives not just one, like Darwin.
