Rant on Theories, Laws & Misconceptions Options

I hesitated creating a thread regarding this but this is really the best medium in which many people can talk openly about something w/o much consequence. Plus I'm big on freedom of speech and so here it goes.

Friday night I go and see Damon Wayans stand up. Second time I saw him, and he was pretty funny the first time. This time he wasn't nearly as funny. Mainly because he started attacking anything that wasn't Christian. Oh boy. So he goes on to say that evolution is the stupidest thing he's ever heard and goes about mocking how its ridiculous something just formed and one day hopped out of the water and another day got legs and another day jumped up into a tree and then finally said "I got to get a job" as a human.

Hilarious. Oh wait, its not. In fact I was flabberghasted and the level of sheer stupidity emanating from this mans mouth. Evolution is the stupidest thing he's heard? Did he think it happened in 6 days? He then continued to say that atheism is on the rise and its basically got to be stopped and how its horrible not to believe in anything.

By now your thinking, where is he going with this? My dilemma which is actually eating at me is how many of you think that evolution isn't real? How many people think that evolution happened overnight; and how many people are under the impression that evolution is just a hypothesis, nothing more than a guess; how many people think atheism is evil? Im genuinely curious.

If I dont get any responses to this I'll chalk it up to I wrote too much, you got tired, fell asleep and drooled on your keyboard. I also want to say that if you do decide to respond, you do it in an intelligent, RESPECTFUL manner. I'm not looking for this to get closed because religion is a very very touchy subject. This is primarily for those who have an open mind, and willing to engage in intelligent conversation.

Thanks.

I'm agreeing with most of all of your points. I do admit I tend to "black & white" the situation because I dont encounter too many people who actually say yes evolution makes alot of sense and yes I believe in god.

Absolutely agree that denominations should be a private thing. You believe what you have to believe to make your life complete.

Snapshot - I brought up atheism because Damon Wayans did. I was running through what he said while I was typing.

And Sabrina your right. Atheism DOESNT mean your a horrible person. Thats propaganda. Your also right about the evidence thing. Especially since theres zero evidence supporting the other.

Nick - I'm going to have to disagree with what your saying that religion and science are coming together. I think now more than ever are they farther apart, and for good reason. They are opposites. Science is based on observation, and facts. God and spiritualness are based upon belief, feelings and therefore neither one will be together. The world is equally horrid as it is beautiful. If you do not see the horrible things that happen everyday you only get a single perspective. The world has developed from trial and error. If god created evolution, in which some things fail, god fails. God cannot fail, cannot be wrong or else he would nto be god.

Jen REALLY long vid. lol
