A question for all atheists and nonbelievers who mock people who hold religious beliefs.?

Question

If we are all fools for beliving in a god we can't see then wouldn't that make Sir Isaac Newton (the guy who came up with the laws of physics) and Charles Darwin (the guy who came up with the theroy of Evolution) and Descartes ( the philosopher who gave up the idea for the scientific method) all fools for being devote Christians?
And if there all fools then why would Atheists bother quoting them?

Sorry that took so long I am horrible at typing/spelling.

Answer 1

I'm a christian but what is the question you are trying to put to our non-believing friends?

Answer 2

Honey, I don't know if you are aware of this, but that is not a question. However, because you did extend the expiration of your question already, I assume you want a reaction. Is this correct? I am not an atheist, and I do not mock peoples religious beliefs, I only challenge them. Religious beliefs are very sacred to people. Thank your god, or blame the God Gene, I don't care, but do not think that people are out to get you. Everyone is searching for the same thing, truth and purpose. Some turn to a god, but others study the stars. Some study the cutting edge of mathematics or science. Even more work there whole lives to leave their mark on this world. The only reason people mock is they are insecure in their own beliefs, and they are jealous that you are so sure and secure in yours. But you cannot argue who is right and who is wrong without treading on a few toes. Don't make the mistake of thinking everyone is out to get you. If you are firm in your beliefs, which by the way, is defined as "The mental act, condition, or habit of placing trust or confidence in another," (please note that there is nothing about being fact, therefore nothing about absolute right or wrong) no one can touch you.

Answer 3

Hell of a question. I think the best way to answer is to break down the component parts and address them individually:

1. Yes
2. 36
3. Zimbabwe
4. 10 1/2
5. Dick Cheney
6. Assiduous

Ahhhh... now comes the question.

I don't believe atheists quote Darwin, Newton, or Descartes on their religious beliefs. Rather, they quote them on their actual accomplishments. Jimmy Carter is a wonderful negotiater and a very intelligent man who has a lot of absolutely correct conclusions about foreign policy. That doesn't mean he is right in his theological beliefs...

By the same token, are you prepared to throw away all knowledge that has been created and accumulated by non-Christians?

Are you prepared to stop using Arabic numerals?

Answer 4

First off, Darwin never recanted on his deathbed, nor did he become a Christian. This is completely fabricated and has no foundation in truth whatsoever. A woman named “Lady Hope” spoke to a church group shortly after the death of Charles Darwin. She claimed that she was at Darwin’s bedside on the day of his death. She also claimed that Darwin recanted on evolution and accepted Jesus on his deathbed.

Her claims are not only unsupported, but are directly opposed by Darwin’s daughter, Henrietta. Henrietta stated “I was present at his deathbed, Lady Hope was not present during his last illness, or any illness. I believe he never even saw her, but in any case she had no influence over him in any department of thought or belief. My father never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier. I am upset that the U.S. Christians have fabricated this conversion nonsense. The whole story has no foundation whatever.” February 23, 1922.

As for Newton, he was not exactly what one would consider a mainstream religious fanatic. He believed in God, but virtually every belief he held concerning the invisible sky-daddy was based in science, and considered to be heresy. He rejected the trinity, held no belief in Heaven or Hell, and believed that God created the universe based on provable scientific principals.

His only belief in Jesus Christ as a savior was that in professing to believe in J.C., he was keeping himself from being burned at the stake by the church. His books on religion outnumber his books on science, but one has to remember that aside from science and religion, he also wrote on philosophy, mechanics, studied alchemy, and engaged in a variety of other pursuits which were condemned by the church.

One must remember that in his time, it was important for people to stive for a well balanced lifestyle. In that, Newton excelled. His well rounded beliefs led him to the conclusion that mans ideal purpose on earth was to perfect himself within his own lifetime, not hope for perfection in the afterlife. He was the embodiment of a true Renaissance Man.

You might try getting your facts straight.
