Using common sense to debunk Evolution - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWBC0AnAAT0[/media] You can lead an atheist to evidence, but you can't make him think.

Using common sense to debunk evolution? Common sense is the opposite of scientific knowledge, and if you subscribe to evolution you probably value scientific knowledge over common sense. This video is just as worthless as asking stupid Christians about their religion.

Some people are stupid. Go figure.

[QUOTE=ken18;17456987] You can lead an atheist to evidence, but you can't make him think.[/QUOTE] More like "You can lead an atheist to bullshit, but you can't make him actually believe in your bullshit unless they're dumb in the first place."

He's talking to people who aren't very well versed in the theory. He's asking stupid, uneducated questions on top of that.

I went to the site mentioned in the video, [url]http://www.pulltheplugonatheism.com/[/url] and I got this in there, I lol'd: [quote]Mom, dad, after my first semester at college, I have to tell you that I don’t believe in God anymore. Science has proven evolution to be true. The Bible is a book of fairy tales. There is no absolute right and wrong. I know this goes against your values, but I now believe in gay marriage and a woman’s right to choose. I don’t want to hurt you, but I have to be open and honest with you--I’m moving in with my girlfriend. This doesn’t change my love for you, and I hope you feel the same about me . . .[/quote] It's too obvious to us logical people that this is a made-up letter, and if it is true, then kudos to this kid.

I'm fucking raging right now.. That fucking asshole was like "So you think man evolved from apes?" NO FUCKING EVOLUTION DOES NOT STATE FUCKING HUMANS EVOLVED FROM FUCKING APES. That guy doesn't know a god damn thing.

These idiots haven't made any effort to understand evolution.

LOL at all the dumb ratings. I'm a biology major for god's sake. (not that he exists) Give OP more boxes.

[QUOTE=KarlHeinrichMarx;17457969]Well you didn't seem very sarcastic.[/QUOTE] I believe that he was quoting the video, if you paid attention to the video. I actually put a dumb rating, so I shouldn't be talking.

This is retarded. I hate people like this. [editline]09:57PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Mr. Schrodinger;17458009]I believe that he was quoting the video, if you paid attention to the video.

It says so in the video. I don't blame people about the dumb ratings though. Anyone who can make it far enough to hear that is worthy of greatness.

If god exists, why doesn't he come down here and stop me from not believing him?

[QUOTE=N0 WAR;17458141]If god exists, why doesn't he come down here and stop me from not believing him?[/QUOTE] Because If God exists, he's to much of an asshole to care about you, and the millions of others who die of hunger, war, and famine, everyday.

lol'd at 1:00

[QUOTE=N0 WAR;17458141]If god exists, why doesn't he come down here and stop me from not believing him?[/QUOTE] Because God has a strict Hands Off Policy, Besides why make people believe when the majority will believe any stupid bullshit? The same people are one sided. Like the lady with the kid who got shot in the head, but survived and only has Half of his head now, she said something along the lines of God was looking out for him that day. Well hell lady, if God was looking out for your kid he wouldn't have got shot in the head to begin with Even if you read the Bible, God is a big ass dickhead, the 10 plagues (One of which was Kill every first born child in Egypt) because a King didn't listen to one person who said God spoke to him. Really God? It wasn't the Egyptians fault, so why punish all of them? What a total dick And that's just one religion, out of the thousands

Actually, I lied, the biggest nail would be common sense.

[QUOTE=KarlHeinrichMarx;17457969]Well you didn't seem very sarcastic.[/QUOTE] The OP's text is the title to the guy's book.

[editline]12:45AM[/editline] Does God have to file reports for this shit? [editline]12:46AM[/editline] That "policy" seems awfully arbitrary.

[QUOTE=Lankist;17459583]The OP's text is the title to the guy's book.[/QUOTE] Yea, but you can easily see how someone could interpret that as him saying it seriously, right?

I don't know what the hell you're rambling on about.

Humans did not evolve from apes as we know them today. We evolved alongside apes. Saying we evolved from apes is like saying you were born from your sister.

[QUOTE=Lankist;17459738]Humans did not evolve from apes as we know them today. We evolved alongside apes. Saying we evolved from apes is like saying you were born from your sister.[/QUOTE] Humans evolved from early apes. Apes. Apes.

[QUOTE=gamefreek76;17459700]Humans have, in fact, evolved from apes. I don't know what the hell you're rambling on about.[/QUOTE] I think he means to be angry at the fact that most creationists or uneducated people will assume that we evolved from the apes we see today, thus spawning "Well if we evolved from apes, why are there still apes" when in fact we did evolve from old world apes, but they are not the same as we see today. In fact, if you go back before that, you'll see that we share ancestry with modern day monkeys, in the form of a group called "old world monkeys", and we can still be classified as monkeys today, since they are our main classification, then ape would be the sub-classification of that, and primate would be the sub-classification of that, where we sit.

[QUOTE=gamefreek76;17459775]Apes are apes, man.[/QUOTE] Well you gotta get into the specifics to please some people, or at least humor them.

[QUOTE=KarlHeinrichMarx;17459791]Well you gotta get into the specifics to please some people, or at least humor them.[/QUOTE] It's illogical to think that if humans came from something not ape if they are part of the great ape family. If we didn't come from apes, what did we come from? Squirrels? Parrots? No. The answer is apes.

It's almost nostalgic to see this video.

Just acting like a creationist.
