Do you believe in Evolution and or Global Warming?

[Thalian]

Curious to see the responses!

If anyone says evolution isn't real I'll come to your house and beat you with a 18" black dildo

[Nadev]

Evolution: Certainly

Global Warming: Skeptical

American, as if it matters.

[Evil Inside]

Come on, evolution is proven already, what's there to believe in.

[Gestopft]

Yes to both. It's embarrassing that we've been collecting evidence for evolution for over 150 years and there are still people who fervently deny it. Just sad.

With Global Warming, our understanding is fuzzier, and unfortunately it has been WAY too politicized.

Hmm. Go on...

[Itisamuh]

I believe evolution is real, but I don't believe it's random or unguided as most seem to. The rules of nature were put in place by something.

As for global warming, it's real, but I'm not convinced it's a result of mankind. The climate's changed before, and will again. Again, rules of nature.

[Azutael]

Uhm, yes. Obviously.
Wish people would stop calling it "global warming" though and instead call it "climate changes". There's so many stupid people always going "oh but I'd like it a little warmer, then I don't need to go to warmer places on holidays" etc.

Even if you don't believe we humans are the biggest contributor to drastic climate changes. We definitively are part of it, but even without us the world has always seen climate changes.
The point remains though, that the modern climate changes are coming up on us so quickly in comparison to any historic event.

Can't convince the public that smoking doesn't cause cancer? Try acid rain.
Can't convince the public that acid rain doesn't exist? Try global warming.
Convinced the public that global warming doesn't exist. Congratulations corporate denial machine, third time's the charm!

I can at least understand global warming denial. Evolution denial on the other hand is just plain depressing.

[Asics]

American here, denying things that can be proven is just silly.

Natural selection in action

[Silentshank]

show me the missing link to evolution? how do these things evolve so quickly? its not just humans its all life. and no global warming is not real. the earth goes through warm and cold spells.

[Kraenen]

The rules of nature were put in place by something.

No they weren't.

[Nadev]

No they weren't.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster tell you for sure, or what?

[schwarzkopf]

To clarify - climate change is happening, global warming is a bit a misnomer as not everywhere will be warmer.

[Aldred]

Not sure if serious poll? How can you argue against things that can be scientifically proven?

Evolution - obviously yes.

Global warming - yes. Whether you believe it's mainly man-made or not can certainly be debated, but it's pretty hard to argue there isn't something going on right now. Just look at some temperature data.

[Angella]

Global warming is on "downward watch" according to the Economist. I'm more concerned with the poisons we're pushing into our air, food and water supplies. THAT should be pissing people off and spurring innovation to clean up our act. Don;t really care if the earth warms up by a couple degrees.

[Zangeiti]

They have no actual proof of global warming just statistics of what they think is happening. Also they say that their is a ice age every couple thousand of years and we get more and more water

[zorkuus]

I believe evolution is real, but I don't believe it's random

No one's said you have to believe it's random to accept it. Natural selection is the opposite of random. The only random part about evolution is random mutations but they are no guarantee for your survival, they might just randomly mutate for a negative effect aswell.

The rules of nature were put in place by something.

An empty claim, nothing more.

With Global Warming, our understanding is fuzzier, and unfortunately it has been WAY too politicized.

Our understanding of Global Warming/Climate Changes isn't fuzzy at all. It's been proved and explained in detail how and why it happens.

Of course the politization you mention contributes to the fuzzy-ing. There's a big corporate machinery in America determined to cloud the understanding of the masses about this issue in order to protect their profit margins.

Given this corporate structure doesn't exist in my country, there's ZERO controversy here. Global warming is taught in schools as fact. Journalists, scientist and specialists talk about it publicly as fact. No one questions it, because there's nothing to question, and no monetary interests at stake.

I believe evolution is real, but I don't believe it's random or unguided as most seem to. The rules of nature were put in place by something.

It's not about whether the climate is changing, it's about how fast. Humans didn't "create" the phenomenon of climate change, but we sure as hell are adding fuel to the fire, so to speak.
