Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
Well I am totally new here but I wanted to share my thoughts on here about that subject. Evolution is so unrealistic lol I remember when I was in the 4th grade my teacher expected me to believe Dolphins had feet... if this is true what is the sole purpose of life and if this is all true is there any reason to go by rules like do not murder? I mean we are all gonna die someday so why not end our worry of death and get over it? Why isn't evolution happening now? Because there was no such thing.I mean can a tin can create itself? No everything has a maker such as us we come from our parents or is it possible babies come from monkeys?

evolution is not a theory that gives a meaning to life. It is simply a scientific theory that describes how things are, not whether those things are good or bad. However Evolution can answer why certain societies exist. This was demonstrated by the likes of Maynard Smith using game theory to demonstrate how altruism can be beneficial to ones genes.
I mean we are all gonna die someday so why not end our worry of death and get over it?
you are confusing things here. Evolution has nothing to say on this matter. Humans are not a single replicator species, we no longer rely only on genes as many other animals do. so the questions as above are irrelevant to evolution.
Why isn't evolution happening now?
It is. for example antibiotic resistance in bactreia, vancomycin reistance in bacteria, nylon consumption abilities in bacteria. The evolution of many animals in and around cities, and rather amusingly an experiment observing extinction in lizards went badly wrong and turned into an experiment on rapid evolution.
Because there was no such thing.
only there is.
I mean can a tin can create itself?
well no, but that is because there is no process to do so.
No everything has a maker
cool, so who/what made God?
such as us we come from our parents or is it possible babies come from monkeys?
aah yes, you are missing out all of the evolution in the middle, and we were never monkeys, we were (and still are) primates, and monkeys are a branch from our common ancestor with them. Just as an example of many intermediates, here are a number of homonid skulls, ranging from small braincases like chimps, to humans:

Ok.
Evolution is so unrealistic
So was the world being round, that was quite a shock to the worlds populace.
lol I remember when I was in the 4th grade my teacher expected me to believe Dolphins had feet...
That's what they're there for, to teach.
if this is true what is the sole purpose of life and if this is all true is there any reason to go by rules like do not murder?
Uh, countries without christianity also don't murder each other dude. The notion that we don't murder each other because the bible says so is rather funny, actually. Clearly this must mean that atheists must be over represented in the murder statistics! Not so.
I mean we are all gonna die someday so why not end our worry of death and get over it?
Because living is enjoyable. If what you are saying is true, then all atheists would have killed themselves by now. That doesn't generally happen. 'Hey, why don't we just die now, so we can go to heaven?'
Why isn't evolution happening now? Because there was no such thing.
No, because it is.
I mean can a tin can create itself?
And where does evolution say a tin can creates itself?
*shock*
Nowhere!
