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.

Punisher - Evolution isnt a "theory" as the common person takes it. Its a scientific theory. As in the Atomic Theory (everything is made up on atoms) or the Theory of Relativity. How would someone accept the Atomic Theory, and not Evolutionary Theory. Its not just an idea that you can say oh yeah it didnt happen. Its got so much evidence supporting it that it stands with the theory that atoms make up everything.

If I get this right - your saying god created something, billions of years ago with the intention of it becoming an "us"?

What you seem to be doing is changing around the bible to fit your own personal conflicts with. Its plausible if ... or It'd make more sense if you changed this...

I think a fair statement would be that you believe in a something, but not so much a "god".



I agree with the blackholes thing. Its hard to grasp a gravitational force so strong it doesnt let light out, making it invisible.

Uh.. I said that an idea to ME.. is that GOD created us.. and set evolution into action and let us evolve.. I do believe in evolution to an extent.. that life can adapt to it's surroundings given a long period of time. I do not believe in the theory of evolution. It is a theory, I don't care how much "scientific" fact someone claims to have. We can answer exactly how we were created.. but we can't cure cancer?

I think it would also be a fair statement that you are acting like a pompous ass now. You ask for peoples idea's and believes.. why? So you could try to scientificly shoot it down and tell us what WE believe? I believe in GOD as in a CHRISTIAN GOD. Take your fair statements elsewhere.

You are set on what you wish to believe in and so am I, there will only be head butting over something that neither of us can prove to eachother.. so there is no point in arguing about it.

PS> I said IDEA TO ME.. as in it is one of many idea's I have.. they are just my personal thoughts on something that I spend maybe a collective hour each year thinking about. I do believe fully that the creation stories 6 days are not really 6 24hr periods.. because to a being like GOD (yes, once again I believe!) there would be no such thing as minutes or days.
