God is Real, Evolution isn't

To start off, people have their own beliefs, but we cannot stupidly deny one belief in favor of another, especially when the former belief has more credibility. Some people are actually foolish enough to believe that there is someone bigger and more powerful than them; that someone can create the world with only using their mouth. As most people know, this is physically impossible. The Earth was not created from the mouth of a deity, but rather, a swirling nebula of dust and rocks. I find it strange how Christianity ridicules other religions, but never looks in at itself to find how ridiculous it is. We are not better than other religions. Every religion sounds crazy when you look at it from an outside perspective. Hindu religions believe that there's a seven armed guy, we think that there's a big floating guy with a beard. None of it makes sense, and we must understand that religions, whether true or not, are all things which we, as people, invented in order to make ourselves feel more comfortable in an empty universe. They are, at best, simple moral guidelines, but we should not actually believe that a giant person made a woman out of a guy's ribs, or anything like that. The bible was written two thousand years ago, and we don't even know the author. How can we consider this a reliable source? Science does not wish to entirely replace religion as an accepted foundation. Rather, it wishes to further clear up the mysteries of life, more logically than religion ever could. We do not have any evidence for the existence of Noah's ark, but we do have evidence for the cosmic background radiation left over from the big bang. https://wmap.gsfc.nasa.gov... We may never discover what dark matter is, or whether there are other universes, or what came before the big bang, but it doesn't really matter. We shouldn't be focusing on finding the true meaning of life, because we all die eventually, and we'll find things out once we get there. In the meantime, science provides a logical order to things. Humanity is reluctant to move away from something it has known for so long. The scientific revolution only began within the last few centuries, religion has been going on for millennia. However, by accepting science, we can become even more enlightened. There is one absolute truth, more than not, and once we find it, we will know everything. Until then, we should chillax. Here are the answers to your questions: 1. Evolution has not "stopped" for the apes, undoubtedly, they are still evolving, although they probably won't become like us for a couple hundred thousand years. You have to understand, humans have evolved over three million years, so we have to be patient until another life form becomes intelligent. You can't instantly wave a magic wand and turn something into something smarter. And, just so you know, apes are not part of OUR evolutionary chain at all, they have evolved over an entirely SEPARATE evolutionary chain from one common ancestor. You have to understand, if you went back to prehistoric times, before Austrolopithicus Afarensis, you would discover apes that would look remarkably different from the ones today. WE have evolved, and apes have evolved. We didn't evolve from them, we evolved with them. 2. Apes don't turn into humans because they are different from humans (see above) 3. No part of bird anatomy is useless, they all help in flight some way or another. If you provided a link to this "useless anatomy" I might be able to figure it out, but, to my knowledge, birds aren't even related to human evolution, so why bother with this question at all? 4. Someone did not create the galaxy. Galaxies form over a long time. Our galaxy, the milky way, was probably formed over an unimaginably long epoch. Why do galaxies have to be created? They form because the matter within them is attracted by gravity. This question shows your ignorance, because you assume that something has to be created by a living being. this is remarkably egotistical, and shows how biased we are as a race. We don't think of gravity as being real. Are you one of those flat Earth guys too? 5. Finally, your last question fills be with despair and lowers my faith in humanity, because you don't even know what the big bang is. The big bang was not caused by two meteors crashing, because before the big bang, there was no matter. You talk about these "meteors" in the same way the ancient Mayans might mention a turtle god. You assume that everything is episodic and easy to describe, just like in the bible. You cannot comprehend a time when the universe did not exist. This, in my opinion, is a striking example of what religion can do to the human mind. You must not have cared about anything in school, so your conception of the universe is badly warped. The big bang was not caused by meteors crashing, it was the sudden expansion of the universe we know today. People who don't believe in God would say it's a book and no proof, and they would be absolutely correct. There is no proof that some deity exists, and if he wanted us to believe, he should send us some sign. Don't you think? Just opening up the clouds and talking to us, something. Unless he does that, people just won't believe. There is no tangible evidence, and you have to admit that. It is undeniable. You say that the book can give us proof. That's not how proof works. Proof must be brought from outside sources. I could tell people that cows were aliens, and I could say that as much as I wanted, but until a study proved that cows were aliens, my claim would be false. The bible does not serve as a reliable form of evidence, because it was written by people who were enthralled by religion. And you have to admit, religion has caused many problems in the world. the schism between Catholics and Orthodox in Ancient Europe, the conflicts between Islam and Christianity, reflected in the brutality of the crusades, the persecution of Jewish people by Hitler... Think about it. If nobody had any religion, then none of that would have happened. Might I add that in Ancient Rome, Christianity was frowned upon. Jesus was a wanted criminal. My point, above all, is that while religion may or may not be real, science has much more going for it. We don't have the rib of Adam or a snapshot of the parting of the red sea, but we do have the skeletons of cavemen and tiny cells that swim around on a microscope. The greatest tool we have, however, is our brain, which allows us to see past accepted truths and observe our own truth. That's what Galileo, Benjamin Franklin, and Einstein all did, and the world is better because of them. darwin is among the best, because he refused to believe that man was created from dust and, instead, observed the biological similarities between mankind and monkeys. And today, his theory is more accepted than all the Sunday School gossip combined. Thank gosh we finally know where we came from, after three million long years. I await your next argument, sir.
