Evolution and the believers
Why is it so hard to get the simply concept of evolution, if you have heard of the phrase "you have your dad's chin" or something that they compare you to your parents, is simple genetics? Evolution is basically a bit more complex and over billions of years. fuck, even flu shots prove evolution, how can these people not smell the bullshit they're being fed?

RE: Evolution and the believers
Around here, most are catholics and accept evolution. Creationism is kind of an American thing. They don't believe it, because they prefer to believe their favorite fairytale.

So you are saying there are very few catholic Americans? I know many times many. Most believe in creation at some level some in both others in evolution.

You do know that Americans are catholics sometimes right?

Creationism is all over the world from the west to the east. In various forms tons of cultures believe in creation myths and fairy tales. Ones country has nothing to do with it. I always use to think that it took a lack of intelligence to believe in those lies but I can show you plenty of doctors and lawyers who believe in god and are not dumb. Sometimes delusion takes a lot of forms in a lot of different people.

Human is human first. The delusion doesn't know a border.

I guess because they want to believe that mankind was created as it is instead of originated from quote monkeys unquote.

So many of them doubt evolution because they haven't evolved yet.

Save your nationalistic pride for someone that cares, there is no need to misinterpret what I've said. There are catholics around here too, that believe in creationism, but there are so few of them and they aren't fighting to get it into public school.

Maybe you should go reread what you put here until you understand I am not calling anyone out just curious why you felt the need to when this forum area is not about nationalism but rather religion.

I don't really see the point of what you are saying. you blatantly call out Americans for something that HUMANS all do in areas of the world in which Catholics live which is most areas of the first world and even more in the third world such as south America (not so much in africa i would guess).

Please don't misunderstand me I have no ill will and just wonder why you choose to word what you are saying the way you did. It sure seems like an attack on nationality to me.

Most of my country people are idiots, I can understand why you might have this view just not sure why you wrote it like that thinking it would not get a reaction like this from someone?

Oh and don't make the mistake of thinking I care. I don't about most things I do this for fun and I am guessing it gets under your skin in a personal way that it does not to me.

If I offended you I would suggest you survey your own thoughts rather than make accusations.

If you meant something different you should have been more careful in your wording. If I am taking it the wrong way then be more clear.
