My dumbass parents doubt evolution

[Cato]

As an old wise Liberian once said-

Man hands on misery to man
It deepens like a coastal shelf


So much for Pslams being an example of poetic beauty.

Welcome Hitch96, you addressed these people as free thinkers yet they want you to be a closet thinker. This should tell you something about them, they do not have good advice.

That was a bit from godschild's old tatty song book, this is mine

And the best advice is figure it out for yourself.

I have been waiting for someone to say that, truth is it takes faith and lots of it.

Idiots like you attribute your own personality flaws to every one else, G-C. Not everyone believes shit because some asshole wrote it down in a worthless old book.

Thank you, GC - you just blatently displayed that you have no idea what it actually means to be a freethinker.

Hello freethinkers,

I'm 16 and my parents are fundamental christians. They do not believe in evolution.
I haven't even told them I believe in evolution!
(They'd flip out and send me to talk to one of our pastors)
...they don't even know I'm atheist

Hey welcome. I have a very deep belief in evolution which goes way beyond the beliefs most atheists have in it, but I'm still the first to admit that it's just theory like the rest of physics and not just that, but there's plenty of people who simply aren't interested in this area of science.

I certainly don't think people "have" to believe in Evolution - nor should they. Belief in a young earth (literal 6 day creationism) is nonsense though.

I see evolution much the same way I see quantum physics and general relativity. I actually don't accept QM or GR as being truly representative of the structure of the universe. We know a few things about evolution (facts) but the theory is still largely incomplete.

Tell me something GC. When exactly were you in this kid's shoes? What qualifies you to offer him advice? Many of the atheists on this site have been in his shoes. For many of them the consequences of coming out to their religious parents were nothing short of disastrous. Yet here you are telling him to ignore them and listen to you. Do this kid a favor GC and fuck off.

I'm trying to help him be a man, all I see others doing is making him a coward and ashamed of who he believes he is. You have no idea what shoes I've walked in so keep quite.

There is a chance that speaking up will kick this young man out of his home. You can shut the fuck up right now.
