I've grown up believing in science. it can explain everything, and it is a forever-ongoing process. scientific validation that is. science can explain how our universe is created (big bang theory), the origin of species (evolution) and many other phenomena.
i have finally met people who don't believe in evolution and insist that the earth is less than 10000 years old! omg.
to make things worse, the President of the United States is such a moron, and a fundie at that (and to think he wields all those nuclear weapons! help us! he might just receive a schizophrenic vision as a 'god's message' and nuke the whole world, commiting genocide as per certain books in a certain scipture.)
I always thought evolution was so, duh. how can u refute it. yes i evolved from a monkey, and im damned fucking proud of it. believing in a creator or a 'intelligent designer' is just a lazy way out of explaining the un-explainable when we should spend time+money find out why the proper scientific way instead of wasting everyone's time insisting that evolution's a lie and forcing us all to believe in a priori that is infallible and un-disprovable.
believing in a supernatural being that can save our sorry asses and made us is an affront to our humanity i might add, because according to these fundies, our existence without a belief in such a being is pointless!
our existence is to propagate our species. and natural selection made is so that only us with the best genetic material and phenotypes might survive long enought to pass it on to our offspring. its so obvious! we're not here to satiate some supernatural being's sudden urge to create something, as if we're some whores or what. as i said, an affront to my humanity.
the worst has yet to come. fundies in the united states have decided that evolution is a lie and that the only viable option is some psuedoscience/junk called intelligent design and creation 'science'. and they decide that they must impose their tyrannic 'theory' on young minds by means of inflitrating the education system with religious beliefs! For eg, take a look at that Arkansas lawsuit in the states.
scientific theory should be hypothesized if it can advance scientific knowledge, to explain more empirical data, instead of being used to furthur fundie agendas, as this creationism 'theory' is. Evidence put forward by this camp are all selective and supports all their religious dogma, and evidence that 'disproves' them are conviniently forgotten. quite sad huh.
By no means evolution is perfect, but creationism certainly isnt too. Yes, in fact i do believe it should be taught in schools as a second alternative to evolution IF the proponents of it stop lambasting evolution and find proper empirical evidence for such a creator instead of believing that 'there is creator, and hes so LEET yall cant understand it cos ur n00b, so u must believe it!', or throwing that ridiculous 2nd law of thermodynamics argument at us. or worse, use the ica stones as evidence of a creator.
And now, for the greatest joke of them all. Some creationists even use the Book of Genesis as validation and proof of their theory! (im not insulting christians ok, just the fundies and creationistss. i respect my christian friends and their ideas, even though i might disagree with them) I may as well shake around Harry Potter books as proof that wizards exist. and giants and dragons and all those rubbish.
Just to point out a few facts, according to Genesis, day and night was created on the first day, and the sun and the moon on the forth. Now, any first grader can probably tell you that the Earth rotates and the sun provides the light and heat and warmth which makes 'day'. So, isnt the genesis account kinda oxymoronic? Or that god showed Adam each and every single creature on this planet and Adam named all of them. Then how about the polar bears and seals? they surely couldnt have survived the Middle Eastern heat. and how about the countless insects, bacteria, viruses, that exist today, and those that have yet to be discovered. Oh yes, miracles. miralces can happen, and adam did all of those things! you know what, harry potter's my real good friend too.
These fundies ought to be shot, i think, for spreading such incredulous nonsense. What i feel, and many of my christian friends feel, is that the Bible is a collection of stories that we should draw spiritual and moral lessons from, instead of using it as a physics, chemistry, biology, geology, ecology whatever txtbk.
i could go on furthur, but i shall stop. quite tiring.
cheers.
