Rant on Theories, Laws & Misconceptions Options

[Supersprynt]

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.

Aren't comedians supposed to make fun of society and their child-hood and what not?

With that aside.. I believe in a form of evolution.. I believe we were created by something a higher power not from evolutions theory.

But people like an explanation to things.. Evolution to me is a theory and people can take it or leave it I don't care.

I believe that evolution happened after we were created... so maybe God (Term for higher power, life form or society..? whatever you want to think) created us billions of years ago.. primative.. and set the laws of evolution and then walked away. I also believe that .. if you want to look at the bible for creation story.. 6 days to God or a higher life form isn't equivelant to what we humans see as 6 24hr days.. I think for God each day may be millions or a billion years. To back this up.. since I'm already talking bible.. it is stated that God is the beginning and the end.. not under "times" constraint at all.

So I like to think of each day in the creation story as being 1 billion years.. that would be plausable. I do not believe that the earth (and heavens) are only 5-6000 years old..

Also .. if there is a God as the bible describes, than everything we research today could be of his invention.. to keep us occupied as we became more technologically advanced.. life would be a very boring dull event with out things to explore and discover.

I do think it was wrong for that excuse of a comedian to bash on evolution and whatever else... What's the deal with that? (har-har).

As for religion, I think it's fantastic.. except for the radicalist parts.. every religion has it's radicals.. Christianity is blood stained from the beginning.

But in itself religion is great.. It helps people to have a moral ground.. Whether or not in the end religion comes out to be true or not (As in, there is no God or higher power etc..) it wasn't/isn't a bad thing.

That is just my 2cents.
