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 see what your trying to get at, but your analogies aren't quite the same.

Take laughter for example. Laughter produces endorphines in the body. Endorphines are like a drug to the body, and in fact, creates a calming, soothing reaction. So laughing bringing about peace in someone is actually scientifically fact. It can be reproduced in a lab over and over again.

Humans, by nature, are a social being. Does one NEED human contact to live, no. Do they need human contact to live a fullfilling life, maybe. Depends on who your talking to and what their idea of a fulfilling life is.

If art creates a fundamental change in someone, its not the art that does that, its the persons thought processes and reaction to the art form. Art now can be said is a catalyst for change, but not a cause.
