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.

basically that the two philosophies come from the same beginnings ever wonder why you adorn that silly hat and robe during the graduation ceremony? educate yourself on the origins of academia


so in summary

1. both science and theology are issues of debate because the facts each utilize are qualifications of numerous similar observations
2. these observations both try and explain phenomena , to a certain degree, and different aspects of the occurrence
3.Both science and religion are faith based ever taken quantum physics? (interpretation and controversy)
granted quantum mechanics is at the forefront of science theory but it displays the often overlooked metaphysical undertones in science
4. neither of the philosophies rely on blind faith.. they both have method in the madness based upon the presumptions of defined facts
5. whether science minded or religiously driven the point has always been to come up with answers, many times the conflict only lies in the motivation for the question when the answers differ. Do psychologists and sociologists have arguments over human motivational factors sure. Both however can be right even when their POV's are night and day from each other.
6. The chronic issue flares when one side or the other declares a irrefutable stance in their method.. this happens in every philosophy but those who do it are pushed to the way side by their peers for a lack of intellectual honesty .... you cannot know everything with out omnipotence
7. Lastly to set an example..because everyone wants to know and when we think we know we wanna be right about it... faux pompous
intellectuals will through fact after fact in the face of someone who disagrees to prove what? that they are right? unfortunately thats not the case... whether on one side or the other of a debate critically minded individuals should see the relevance of both arguments...

intellect is not a devise to subjugate but should be used to educate people... then allow them to make their own interpretation. Those who throw around intellectual clout generally are only trying to fulfill some egocentric deficiency in their view of themselves. rationally keep this in mind when the urge to rant on theories laws and even misconceptions

oh and you wanna know what life is all about?
