Hate these types of videos that have nothing to do with the reality of evolution, but miss use the little knowledge that has been picked up along the way. What is happening today is human made problems, has nothing to do with evolution, has everything to do with bad people stealing from all of us ! Cannot escape human nature--my my --please define human nature please.

@mallorywilde I know I didn't have to leave a comment, but I saw your post on Baba Brinkman's page trying to get people to visit yours, so it lured me in. I know it wont go anywhere and there will be no changing your mind. So farewell.

And on a positive note, though I dont like the lyrics, your sound is great.

@destinylab you see? that's the problem. your statements& belief leave nothing open for disagreement. if you already call it truth& say god exists, then it's pointless to even argue.

& when it comes to god, does anyone research history of religion? even when you take science out of everything and just look at history, the bible (tanakh,quran), its stories, &its god came much later than other beliefs& multiple gods. &if you refer back to scripture to argue back then its more circular arguments

[destinylab]

@mallorywilde All your disbelief does not have the power to kill God if he truly exists....there is indeed another side and it called truth.

[mallorywilde]

@destinylab My words are about to bother you, but it needs to be said. The problem here is that there is no "other side" as you and others who clearly do not understand evolution try to say.

not really into rap, but this is class, great idea all of this, keep it coming!

@MrTreantHugger Did I say that? No I did not. So the rest of your statement is invalid. No human can escape Human nature, but if the down trodden are to rise above, they must do just that RISE ABOVE., and embrace INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.

It's not the survival of the fittest if the life expectancy is so low for criminals, regardless of motivation. Seems quite Apparent to me that the fittest SUCK IT UP, STAY IN SCHOOL, get into a college, avoid memetic infections of the ghetto mentality and get a degree. It' s memetic selection and the fittest are inoculated with common sense and education, the victims succumb to hedonistic violent tendencies and DIE YOUNG and STUPID.
