Yes, concerned guys! Really concerns about this world... that will never going to change. I expected in the year 2009, the entire world to get rid most of the bullshits which signed one of the darkest ages in our entire history, the medieval, but Religion is still affecting our lives so far.
People still dies for their believes, I mean I also would be happy to die fighting for my God if someone promises me that once I kill some infidels there will be 72 virgins in heaven waiting for me. Don't you? But how can someone be so
retarded to actually
believe that!?!? But the thing that makes me think lately is that something I have been always given for granted, "
the evolution theory" of Darwin, something I learned at primary school for God's sake... and the
only reasonable theory which explain life on earth without involving extra terrestrial buddies... or super-fucking-power-omnipresent Gods... is addressed as "bullshits" by lots of people (and let's say too many for my opinion).
Of course people can start saying... Darwin's theory has not been proven; of course scientists are still working on it... the latest research about Darwin's theory involves the construction of the
"Tree of Life" which shows (like in the family hierarchy tree) all the relations between species. This study is classifying the DNA of all the known species in order to find similarities, branches etc... 150 years ago when Darwin formulates his theory there where no knowledge of DNA and the evolution theory can be proven only by observing species in a very wide time-frame (hundreds of years)... or by studying the DNA and that's what scientist are doing now.
Of course science is a science :) (and I am me, you are you of course :P), it's not about writing a god novel... where you can invent stuff from scratch! Science requires experiments... guess a theory and prove it. Now some of the latest discoveries are miss proving Darwin, but not in a way that makes the overall evolution theory wrong. From this

Dr Bapteste said: "The tree of life was useful. It helped us to understand evolution was real. But now we know more about evolution it's time to move on."
Anyway, I don't want to discuss here if you should believe in the evolution or not... my concern is: "Is there something alternative?" Do you really believe there is a God that is capable of creating and destroying everything... but then practically he worked 7 days and since than... nothing more? Does it make any sense to send your only child to the earth... make people torture him, kill him in the cross... just to forgive our sins? God, if the plan was.. "to forgive our sins..." just do it! Why do you need special effects? You have the power... do it! But I guess is difficult to have people be afraid of you and love you at the same time, right? Btw... Is this the alternative way to the evolution theory?
Of course use God to explain something is very convenient. God is like a jolly. When you cannot explain something... just use it! It works just fine, let me present some examples:
"Ah... I really cannot explain while today is so windy... fuck... But yes of course, yesterday I sinned, so now the God of the wind (Eolo) is angry at me. Fuck... I should better go and make him forgive me!" Simple no? Dispete the fact... today, thanks to science (ehm..), we have mathematical models which are able to predict the weather pretty well... what does it mean? Is God predictable? What kind of superior intelligience is predictable?
"Why this dude died? It cannot be true... yes of course, he is dead probably because there is a God that likes him so much and he wants him to sit next to him! Yes of course, ...if God likes you, he is going to take you in this wonderful place (nobody has ever seen, but should be nice because he is God...) where you can enjoy your afterlife! So, to make sure we are going to that place you have to suffer in this life." Ehm... should I argue this? ..to simple :)
I really can continue writing... but I think I did my point. Of course I know you cannot argue with religious people because they will start saying "You have to have faith!". And science is not abaout fath! I have heard in a couple of documentaries that everytime a science ask to a group of religious people: "According to the bible, the earth is 5000 years old! So what about dinosaur fossils?" and people answer: "God put dinosaur fossils here to test our faith!"...seriously guys, ' THE FUCK!
...but you know what the truth is? actually I don't give a shit... apparently war is in our nature, no matter which kind of excuse we actually use to justify a war, there will always be someone fighting for something. I am not saying they should... I am just realistic, some people get really hard with wars (most of the reasons are connected to the economics... but you should watch
zeitgeist to understed in which way)! But most of the time what you see is a bounce of very determined people with very clear ideas guiding thousands of confused people which don't really know what they are fighting for.
I know it's difficult to stand up and start thinking with their own mind instead of let other people think for you (which is really easier), but if we really want a better future we should definitely start thinking by ourself!
