In Between Nice and Bastardly

My brother frequently tells me that I am not a nice person. Either that or he sarcastically says "Oh how nice" or "Your so nice". Most of the time I really don't deserve it. But thats not the important thing here. what exactly is wrong with being not nice. Mathematically not nice is exactly 0. a nice person does thing for others. A mean person actively hurts others. So a not nice person really isn't mean either.they simply keep to themselves, choosing not to take part. I suppose on some level I might be trying to defend myself, but I really don't feel that I deserve the negative connotations of the phrase not nice. Also, I hope for your sake that you have never met my brother.

Crap, I'm a jerk aren't I?

Why Religion Hates Evolution

(Just so there are no misconceptions, I am in that stage between agnostic and atheist. I really seriously doubt that there is a god, but anythings possible I suppose.)
Unless you take the bible literally, evolution does not deny that there is a god. God could have started the evolutionary process. So why are there so many religious people that refuse to accept the evidence? Obviously if you take any religious text literally than evolution is impossible, but there are implications of the theory which are in direct competition with any religious belief.

Evolution is completely devoid of any ethical context. Things kill things that are weaker than them in order to become dominant. That is the essence of natural selection. There is no right or wrong in it. i have no doubt that some people believe that god could not create something so sinful. I don't want to get into a debate about whether god can sin, but if you hold that he can't, you have to accept that god and evolution cannot co-exist.

Here are a few other people who would rather ignore natural selection for this reason:
Vegetarians
The terminally ill
The severely handicapped
Anyone in the legal system

Note that I didn't mention any human or animal rights activists. No person or animal should suffer needlessly. Natural selection is about who lives or dies, not who suffers. Being hurt still sucks whether there is a god or not and guilt exists to prevent us from destroying or hurting things that we don't need to.

It has come to my attention that I have a alot of random ideas which are all fairly interesting but don't really merit a book or other such endeavour. So I decided to make a blog. I don't like them much, but i really need to do this. I'm hoping to start doing youtube videos at some point, but I can only do that when everyone is out of the house (no privacy here), so it's not a simple procedure. By the way, I'm assuming that no one is ever going to read this.
