And its also funny where people think religion or evolution...both are real
Evolution isn't linear. It's complex. It's like the branches of a tree that's been growing for billions of years. Billions. History has only been around for a blink of an eye comparatively so it's difficult to grasp. Religion is real in the sense that the term and the ideal exists. Scientifically, no one has proved the existence of a creator, Jesus, Mohammad, Allah, or any of that. Religion is a construct of man used to give a single meaning to life and to give a single answer to the unknown. It's scary to think that once you die, that's it. There's nothing else. Religionists think that that strips all meaning from life, when it reality it gives life that much more meaning. Religion is dangerous. It is the single leading cause of war and aggression. You leave the meaning of an evil, religious text in the hands of man to interpret his own way. That leads to a struggle.
I find it incredibly troubling that in such an advanced society that we still use religion as a crutch when the answers are out there. Sure it takes a little more work, but in the end it's more beautiful and more rewarding to find them than to shrug them off as a design of a creator
