why are there so many ugly and stupid people in the world if darwins theory of natural selection is true?

Natural selection does not care about how an organism looks.  Neither does it care for your opinion about how an organism looks.\n\nWhat natural selection does is ensure that the individual organism that is best adapted to its environment lives longest in that environment, and therefore produces more offspring than others.\n\nMost people are in fact not stupid and ugly, and even the ones that are stupid and ugly get by because homo sapiens gather in groups and that helps them out, so a certain amount of them are always around.

because evolution is false.

I guess stupid people results from stupid upbringing. And your right usually stupid people have more children.

IGNORANT people of the world have problems with anyone they see as 'different.' It is fear of the unknown...and it is sad how much suffering in the world is created from it!

because there are more idiots in the world than there are liberals.

no scientist like Darwin could prove that certain races were inferior through his theory. and he was able to figure out life. matter fact some of the most educated people are most bias on other people. hopeful some day we come to the day when racism is dead. looking forward

Its not evolution, that is for sure. The evolutionist idea of natural selection is flawed from the beginning. The idea that we evolved into this superior human who have to deal with feelings of emotion, need large amounts of food and water to survive, require a male and female to reproduce and the list goes on. If natural selection is true then humans would have stopped long before now when we didn't need so much food and water; when we could split ourselves because there was no gender and no one had to think about taking care of a child. A human child is one of the most dependent offspring. Without the care of parents the child would die. This does not seem to fit the the theory of natural selection. Genesis 1:27 explains it good.

No.  Ok, well, "yes" in the sense that you were talking about, a self-fulfilling prophecy.  Humans in large numbers are sociologically stupid.

Because people have fragile self images as it is thanks to a society that values looks.  Calling someone ugly is like saying their worthless.  Though in reality, they shouldn't need outside validation for who they are.  Plus, sometimes the truth hurts.  Western society in particular makes that a huge stigma.

everyone has their own different vision of beauty.  just because you don't measure up to another persons standards does not make you ugly.  besides, most of the "beatiful" people are jerks anyway.

The 'modern' human experiment could be seen as an answer to your question.  We now, for our 'comfort' do things which are certainly to be considered 'adaptive selection of species'.  The way this results in 'natural selection of a population' can be felt and seen and even quantified, if one is sentient and humble enough.  Glad to help!

This is true. Most people, of any religion, are good. \n\nAnyone who does make this ugly would be the exceptions here.

We could evolve into idiots, even by evolutionary theory- All the theory really states is that any trait which increases the number of viable offspring will become predominant.  If, for example, it turns out that high intelligence somehow reduces the number of offspring (which may very well be true, for any number of reasons including social adaptability in highly intelligent people), and that given the mass movement of people today that all highly intelligent people marry each other, then we would have a situation where slowly those genes were lost.  You dont need a glitch in evolutionary theory to see that as a possibility.

in general, yes most people are stupid.

There are about 2,000 more stupid design flaws in humans.\n\nIf god designed man, he should be fired.\n\nIf a god exists, he's either stupid, or doesn't give a sh!t.

Because we are the result of billions of years of evolution. We are the byproduct of living things that have struggled to survive throughout the eons. \n\nAs such, we are not perfect by any means. We are a self aware bald ape. Seeing how short sighted, greedy, petty, and vicious we can be reminds me that we are the result of evolution. \n\nHowever, we can also be generous, kind, loving, patient, and wise. This is our strength as a species. \n\nWe can also communicate and understand. When we strive to do so, we can achieve peace. The problem is that the world is controlled by a minority of people that are greedy, power hungry, and wish to dominate and control others. The majority are too busy taking care of their personal business to really put this minority down. \n\nPlus, the minority controls the guns.\n\nEither that, or God created a flawed species. Blame him for not being a better bioengineer.\n\nI choose the evolution argument.

Pretty and Ugly are both subjective. Meaning that what is pretty to one is absolutely disgusting to another. Some people fall in love with the size of people's feet, we're all different in that sense. What we think as "pretty" tends to be how symmetrical a face is, and the shape of a body being atheletic. However, this doesn't mean that we wouldn't evolve to see things differently. Since half the world now sits on their a$$ in front of their computers and america is plagued with fast food, maybe new genes will evolve and redefine our perception of this. We might begin to think it's beautiful. You never know. God just want's best for God  aka the universe in general. It's what rewards survival that is promoted on as a good quality or intelligent quality. So maybe one day ugly will actually be beautiful. It's a perception thing, and it all depends on how we as lifeforms evolve. Beautiful is NOT always outside appearance. In fact, it can be quite deceiving. God does not separate us, in fact we are not separate at all. This is an illusion. Intelligence is beauty, but you do not even have to be aware of it to be beautiful. Some species have survival instincts that we think are incredibly intelligent however it is just in their nature to do so, they aren't aware of it. SO you can be "dumb" and intelligent. Another example, Idiot savants. There is no separation of good and bad. Nothing is better, it is only different. God rewards and continues to keep what works no matter what it is.
