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.

Your right. You cant test evolution like you test for ammonia in water. But what you can do is go through the fossil record make observations, calculations and see if evolution fits. And it does. Its consistent with what existed, and what existed cannot be changed, its literally IN STONE.

fossil records ok....you have dynos what did they evolve from or to?
crocidle has been the SAME since that same period..0 evolution into anything...
the monkey....hasn't evolved into a human...we have yet to see a middle piece fossil
the human has been generally the same since the caveman

where is your stone middle pieces?

You have no fundamental knowledge of evolution.

If no change is necessary, if the change is detrimental, it doesnt survive.

Dinosaurs went extinct, thought that was common knowledge.

A monkey, is not a primate. A monkey was something else before what we call a monkey.

People are under the impression change still isn't ocurring. Take cockroaches today. Alot of cockroaches who were easily killed with a certain kind of pesticide do not react to it today. This mutation is keeping them alive, and this mutation allows more cockroaches to survive. They replicate, and the mutation becomes widespread throughout the entire species.

Mutation is an accident. Evolution, is the effect of Natural Selection. Which means the good mutations in animals are kept from them surviving & reproducing. Passing that mutation on.

Seriously read up, this is stuff you should know before coming in here.
