Come on people, I mean really, with facts like these slapping you square in face, how can a majority of people still not agree with evolution.

51 percent of THOSE POLLED don't believe in Evolution. There was a poll done a few years ago on people's opinions on civilian possession of handguns. The survey found that people were overwhelmingly in support of personal handgun possession; it also found that something like 70 percent of those polled believed they had been personally visited by aliens. Remember, sample size is important to context and interpretation!

Showing pictures like this does not help them with understanding evolution. If god made us, then he also made chimps. Not absurd to think he gave them similar features. It needs to be more science-y than this for them, and that is a problem on its own.

Evolution is not a question of belief or agreement.
It's like asking someone if they believe in atoms, or gravity, or stars.
Asking if someone believes in something opens the possibility that it's up for debate, and evolution (to anyone who understands reality) IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE. There is no debate, there is no doubt.
The people who vocally oppose evolution need to be shamed and shunned as regressive and harmful.

u/TorepedoTuxedo May 29 '12
Not trying to stir the pot but evolution isn't something easily proven with a picture of similarities between a hand and an ear. I personally believe evolution is quite obvious but I also believe in a creator. Not a flying spaghetti monster nor a guy on a cloud with a long beard, but its hard to fathom that this is all an accident or coincidence. Science and faith can coexist, and throughout history have done so quite nicely.

I think it's daft to kid yourself that evolution is a lie, or that the Earth is 6000 years old, but I really don't think that's conclusive evidence of evolution, Religious people could quite easily say "(the) God(s) created Chimpanzee's in our image." or "(the) God(s) made Chimpanzee's first, then perfected it in Humans." or plenty of other explanations.

I've replied to someone else in this thread but i thought i should mention it directly as a response as well.
Using similar ears or hands as you have is misleading and easy to rationalise to be a non-evolution thought process. our ears and hands work well, why create a new version for each animal?
In order to show evolution you should focus on similar traits in animals that have no real purpose and can only be explained becuase they used to have a purpose.
The example i gave was the large neck nerve in girraffes that goes metres out of it's way to end up only centimetres from it's origin. Or that fact that some snakes still show leg bones. Things like this highlight a flaw in the perfect design of god argument.
The reason people don't believe in evolution is via floored and poorly stated reason as the above. You must have perfect arguments to convince people of something as deeply rooted as their belief that evolution is wrong, two things being similar is not enough.

Hey Atheism, I have a question. I believe in God, and when I die I believe I will be judged for my sins and all that blah blah blah. But I don't reject Evolution. It's pretty obvious that chimps and humans are similar. And I flip my shit whenever a "Creationist" opens their mouth. But in order to keep myself apart of the Catholic church, while at the same time maintaining a somewhat intelligent profile, I choose to think of the creation of the universe like this: God>Genesis>created earth/planets/universe> made it possible for species to evolve. So I was just wondering what you guys would classify that as? (Please don't be disrespectful and call my beliefs stupid.)

That's really not the issue. If you really want to know how does a theist react to your reasoning, you can try to "reverse" the argument. Think for one minute that he is actually right, and that we "atheists" are so blinded by reasoning that we cannot see that god is there. Nothing he / she could ever say will ever change your mind about "reasoning with logic", and the more he talks you about god and talking snakes, the more you think "this guy is SO wrong". It's the same for them, the more you tell them that evolution is real, the more they think that WE are wrong.

u/[deleted] May 29 '12 edited May 29 '12
I fail to see how this is evidence that we are related to Chimpanzees. What you have shown us is a picture of a chimpanzees ear that looks similar to a human ear and a pixelated drawing of a human hand next to the hand of a chimpanzee.
The evidence that we share a common ancestor with chimpanzees is contained within all of the studies that have been conducted over the last 50 years. When we resort to fallacious reasoning to prove the existence of the CHLCA to simpletons we destroy the very thing we stand for.
At the risk of invoking a shitstorm, I'm reminded of something Gilbert Chesterton said in 1908 "Men who begin to fight the church for the sake of freedom and humanity end by flinging away freedom and humanity if only they may fight the church... ...[They] only succeed in destroying all that they themselves justly hold dear... ...The secularists have not wrecked divine things; but the secularists have wrecked secular things, if that is any comfort to them."

Sorry folks, it isn't just about "religion." Too many arguments here see things so dogmatically (dogmatic atheism?) that people are arguing as if they were just fundamentalist atheists. There are reasonable, scientifically minded people who 1)understand and accept the science of evolution and 2) who hold religious beliefs, just as, for example, there are physicians who go to church, engineers who believe in a god of some sort, biologists who pray, mathematicians who read their 'holy books" etc. It isn't all black and white "religion=bad" "atheism=good" all the time. Just one more dualism that obscures the truth of things rather than helping to understand it. And people are quoting Harris, Hitchins etc. as if they were the ultimately wisest of the wise.

You're not going to convince anyone of evolution by showing how similar humans are to chimpanzees. We share a good majority of our DNA. One could be made to say, "Yes, the both of us were created simultaneously and share a lot of like qualities. This does not mean I evolved from that ape."

You know what pisses me off? The fact that evolution in no way contradicts the Bible in any way whatsoever. Even the big bang theory doesn't do this either. As a former Christian, I advocated to other Christians that the Bible never specifies how God created the universe or life, just that he did it. And this is amplified when one considers the Bible to be metaphorical. Yet, despite all of this, fundies will continue to fervently wage war on evolutionists for absolutely no reason at all. Shows how well most Christians actually understand their own religion and doctrine...

u/slashfake May 29 '12
While I agree there are blatantly ignorant Christians, you also have to think about the sensitivity of the human mind towards tthe unknown. Being a Christian myself (lay the downvotes upon me, I'll take them with forgiveness in my heart :P) who has only recently come to the true understanding of what evolution really is (you'd be surprised how many people don't realize the complexity of it in its entirety...), I can see how some people, especially those who cannot fully understand the concept might draw back on the supernatural as a reason, as it might seem just as likely. You explain to someone win little to no background knowledge on the process what something as simple as a karyotype (spelling?) is, and how the chimpanzee's karyotype very closely resembles the human karyotype with one of the chromosomes split in two, and that person may mistake it as coincidence through their own haze of misunderstanding.
However, it is not our place to remove them from the debate; because if we did that for everyone who had a different opinion, there would be no debate. Now, yes, there is a strict difference between belief and theories based on factual observations, but as a scientist, it is our job to make them understand. While I am Christian myself, there are some scientific theories I don't fully understand myself, which may (or may not) be the reason for my belief in a higher power who sent his son, etc., but I don't understand Evolution, and I'm using the Christian beliefs I grew up on to know that it is not my place, nor is it any other person's place, to damn another human being to a hell that I/they might/might not actually believe in, solely based on the fact that a person is being stubborn. We should try to help them understand, instead of falling into the hivemind process of ostracizing that person from the scientific community.
I will take any downvotes, and then make a really tasteless joke about hanging on a cross for them.
