Just in the way you admit you do not have to see your brains to believe they exist, why don't you believe the Creator exists, and that you do not need to see Him?

I am not trying to be a jerk here, I am only telling you guys, that just in the way, I can easily believe you have a brain once you act, interact, speak.. etc.. I can also easily recognize the fact that a Creator has created all these beings around me, since there is no way that non-existance can create and make things exist.

Exactly, that is what atheists do not realize, they act hypocritically, and use double standards, as they deny the existance of the Great Creator, just because they can't see Him!
The problem is they never worked hard to do what it takes to see Him neither!

What separates me from you is that I'm willing to question the nature of existance. Almost all religious people I know chose their faith based on how they were raised. They're religious from habit, nothing more. Others chose it because it gives them various psychological or social benefits, such as feelings of community, belief in a purpose, etc. While some atheists are raised to be atheist, there is much less benefit to atheism so more atheists make a concious decision on the metaphysical. That's what separates us from others.
We believe the "creator" doesn't exist for many reasons. Among them are:
-natural causes suffice for our universe, leaving no need for intelligent design, and anything that's superfluous can be done without
-stories taught by religions meet contradictory physical evidence all the time, and the proven importance of the physical must be at least as important than the merely theorized existance of the spiritual
-and that stories taught by various religions routinely contradict one another, and without physical proof of any particular religion over others, all are equally likely, and when we combines mutually exclusive religions with each being just as likely as any other we come up with the only logical conclusion that none exist in fact
Our brains, meanwhile, can be shown to have tangible effects on us and others. Shoot someone in the head, and they die; physical disruption of the brain has an effect on our body's lives. Take various drugs, and perceptions change; the chemical balance of our brains determines how our bodies function. Et cetera, ad nauseum, whatever latin you feel like quipping, yeah. We can run these tests on other animals and people, and with the assumption that all people are virtually equal and that human bodies work the same as animal bodies (which mostly they seem to), and we can conclude that we have brains in our heads.

I BELIEVE you are fighting a losing battle. I commented on your first question and now this one. Let me help walk you through this so we are on the same level.
1- I don't have to see brains to believe they exist. To prove there are brains tho all you have to do is crack somebody's head open and take a peek. I've seen brains before. That is fact.
2- There is no way besides hear say and a the good fairytale story called the bible to know that God exists. That is fact.
3- It is fact that without a brain the body can not live. That is fact.
4- I believe in what I can see, what can be proven. You believe as you do and thats fine.
5-Me as an individual chooses not to bash or force any belief down anyones throat nor do I put them down.
Get a life.

Barring the similarities of "which came first, the chicken or the egg" implication of your question, to reasonably answer your question is the following,..
Reasoning, I'm told separates man from beast.
Intelligence is gained through knowledge,
Should an individual possesses both, conceding that all things are possible, conclusions usually, and rightfully so, will be drawn based on facts available.
Creation, based on a history of facts, wasn't ,in fact created. It progressed, as science, based on those facts, reasonably explains.
The presents of God, as believed comfortably by so many, isn't even a theory nearly as much as a faith. Possibly rightfully so, but still a faith.
Your question implies that people, Atheists, or otherwise refuse the belief in God or a Creator, two words, incidentally, that while being the same in purpose are capable of two completely different meaning.

god is someone that people made up to explain how we got to be here and how the world was created. Religion just corrupts people more than ever.look at the bible there is no way that those things can happen. Jonah and the whale seriously do you really think that someone would be able to survive inside a ******* fish.Noah and the ark. There is no way that two of every animal in the world would have been able to fit into a boat.Elephants,hippos,rhinos. etc. are all heavy animals with two of them plus hundreds of other animals and Noah and his family the stupid boat would have sank. No one can walk on water or turn water into wine. how in the world the Mary have Jesus to have a baby you have to have sex there is no why that you can have a baby by someone that you can't even see.

Hey, Happy... I'm a Christian just like you, and sure, I get the point you're trying to make.
But although you have a light tone and although you say you're "not being a jerk" -- well, I still think you're coming across as one.
How you phrase your questions might get you some more serious answers than the current batch, and then maybe everyone could learn something from the question.
Right now, you're just stirring up a hornet's nest.

That is almost the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
I can see my brain under an x-ray. I can't see a "Creator" under an x-ray or anything else. You have no point there, it just does not work that way.
I am the only Creator that exists to me.

I don't need to see a creator in order to believe that such an entity exists... I simply need to see some form of evidence.
Can you offer up one, just one, bit of objective evidence that a creator exists?
(Keep in mind, I said "objective" evidence - the fact that the universe exists isn't objective evidence of it's creation, only of it's existence. Likewise, miracles or personal feelings are not objective evidence.)

No you're ultimate. i think of it rather is impossible to have faith that we are developed from apes. what variety of loopy concept is that besides. i think of that the invisible guy p.c.. up a handful of dirt and breathed on it . it rather is a lot much less complicated for my small concepts to comprehend than the assumption of the earth being 4.5 billion years previous and for motives as yet to be desperate we developed from decrease existence varieties until we are what we see as we communicate. additionally, it would be pronounced to you. even though you will no longer hear that the christians began to kill all of those that did no longer have faith like them decrease back whilst they have been in potential from with regard to the early 3 hundred's CE. on up until with regard to the previous due 1600's CE. So do i've got faith that the christians will carry peace i think of the respond is obvious and that i've got documented historic previous on my section and that answer isn't any way. Your Jesus pronounced it himself " I come to no longer carry peace , yet a sword to pit father against son, mom against daughter. So no remember what you assert it has all been pronounced until now by potential of your variety and we at the instant are not paying for it. it is likewise notice worth for all you " stable christians" obtainable to comprehend that Adolph Hitler advance into additionally a spiritual christan so until now you think of I or anyother agnostic, atheist, and the different non beleiver are evil you need to look on your guy or woman exterior. those residing in glass properties shouldn't throw stones.

Who said they don't have to see their brains to believe they exist? If I didn't know about brains from their direct physical evidence, and you told me about them, I'd want to see the proof. And anyone could supply it to me. They're physical objects. The fact that they're behind a wall of bones doesn't make them inaccessible.
Very poor analogy.

I see evidence of brains on several levels:
Science has shown that a brain is necessary for human life
While my brain is still firmly in my head, an MRI can show pictures of it.
I can think and science has shown this requires a brain.
I have not seen any evidence of this god you speak of.
