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.

why cant creation and evolution coexist? plenty of time has passed for both.
bam things were created... then they evolved into other species, but im not saying man came from monkeys.
im saying a giraffe grew a longer neck to get higher leaves. that type of evolution.

haha i should note i dont believe thats what happened im just throwing out theories ive heard, so people can get other ideas.

theres alot of other theories out there. some just aren't as mainstream, but that doesn't make them wrong (just hard for closed minded, media brain washed, government manipulated, religion corrupted people to accept or comprehend).

playa i love the giraffe gif!

Evolution does not work that way. The giraffe can't will itself a longer neck. The way evolution works is that the species slowly mutates through reproduction and the giraffes with the longest necks survive thus evolving to have longer necks.

I also agree that evolution occurs. Its not reasonably debatable. It does not, however, prove anything with regard to whether there was a creator.
