I have a problem with atheism. I don't subscribe to any organized religion, but I have trouble comprehending how a human can't can believe in some sort of creationist theory. I'm a big Descartes fan and I agree with him stalwartly.
People can only know creation. That is, people are created by other people. Everyday we create things, be it computers, farms, or ideas in our heads. Everything is created by something. There is no spontaneous generation of life, where life just appears from nowhere!
Like a frog in a pond that can't comprehend an existence outside of the pond, how can we as humans comprehend non-creation, or being nothingness? We have no capacity to understand the "popping in and out of existence" idea that athiests subscribe to, right? Life MUST have been created by something because we can't know 'nothing' because 'nothingness' doesn't exist in our reality. Can an athiest counter this argument for me?
