He starts off blaming all the worlds problems on non Christians which bothers the hell out of me. Its like he seems to forget that the world is full of other religions, that people of many different religions (omg yeah even his) do the things hes talking about. I think we all seem to forget that the world didn't start when the Christian Bible was written. (Because we all know thats the religion he's arguing evolution with.) People existed way before someone wrote a book saying that thier God made us. I don't believe that any God made us, so I suppose evolution makes the most sense to me, but being Agnostic I won't ignore the fact that something I don't understand may exist. However, I do believe that all religions are mythology, seeing how much of mythology is dead religions. The reason we are seeing less and less of any particular religion is simply because they come and go. Many religions with many different gods exist even now, have existed and no longer exist today. One needs to realize this. I think we use religion as a comfort to the daily life we create for ourselves, because for whatever reason, (be it evolution) we are capable of thought processes no other animal seems to be, which allows us to even think religion can exist. We need something to comfort the thoughts and feelings we may not be able to understand. Something to have "faith" in. Others of us don't need this. Why, that I don't know, its just what makes each person who they are. He makes many references to many different things, and doesn't seem to take the time to understand any of them. Attempting to equate the evolution of a horse over millions of years to plastic utensils. How does he care to explain dinosaurs away? Or the millions of small fossils from organisms that existed long before man? I don't see how someone whos beliefs lay in complete faith of something unproveable, that one one has ever seen, and can't give tangable evidence to, can say that evolution doesn't exist when there is tangable proof through science of similarities between species.
I just saw that part where he tries to say were aren't realted to other species because a wolf, dog and coyote aren't like a banana again while trying to complete my thoughts... I can't even think straight about it anymore. I mean how much, ugh.. its just, you can't compare apples and oranges, oh wait you can, at least they are both from plants. >< I mean wtf dude, a banana? Lets at least try to keep it in the classification Animalia... of course a banana, being of the classification Plantae, isn't going to be similar anymore.... *sigh* I don't even want to think about it anymore.
