If atheists say God didn't create humans, why can't they figure out how to create life out of dead elements?

Answer 1

......... Uh.......... why should they have to?

Answer 2

For the main question, the answer is we create life all of the time, its called child birth. And guess what more people then Atheists can do it, I mean, your here... or are you?

But I'm guessing your real question was about lab created life? This is done on a fairly normal basis, furtility clinics and genetic engineering labs being the most common locations. Now lets say you are talking about actually taking raw materials and creating a completely new life form. This is still a bit in the future from everything I've read, but not that far into the future. The difficulty is in the DNA, we are still learning the codes stored in our genes. But this will eventually be done, and when it is I'm sure you or people like you will try and claim, "well it might be alive but it doesn't have a soul." You will use any excuse that you can to try and make yourselves feel special and different from all of the other life on the planet. This also leads to a great deal of racism, people like to claim others with different skin tones aren't human. Hate to tell you this but, human's as we are now, started in Africa. This is a fact so don't try and just pass it off. And guess what the skin color of native Africans is, that would be black. So everyone around the world, doesn't matter where you are, you are directly related to Africans. As a reference National Geographic traced lines of migration, which are trackable thanks to mitocondria, and those lines lead directly back to Africa.
So that is basicly a proof for evolution, skin change over time to compensate for changing light levels. If minor changes like that can happen in only a few thousand years, how about millions of years? Makes sense that more and more minor changes added up could lead to drastically changed features, or the creation of new adaptations.
Now to nullify someones dumb response,"Big bang believers don't know where all the material came from that created the universe, so their must be a god." My question to them then is this, "Where did god come from?" If you can't answer that question what right do you have to ask it. And responding that god always existed is not a real answer, its just a nice way of saying you don't have a clue. Where as scientists are actually looking for the answer you sit and hum really loud with your ears plugged up so that nothing you might hear will shake your fragile beliefs.

The fact is that religion serves one main purpose; that being control, if you can scare a population into thinking that a giant figure is getting ready to destroy them if the don't do what you say, you can make them do pretty much anything. The fact that the church keeps changing its rules to conform to certain social norms is proof of this, though they tend to fight those changes to the bitter end, in the end they either evolve or become obsolete. This is why certain churches try and push the idea of an all powerful god on children from the start, tell someone something for long enough and they will believe it, its called brainwashing.
Groups though do have a certain function, and that is for setting social norms and standards. Make common sense concepts that people can live their life for. My main problem with certain religions is that they focus to much on their next life(in heaven) and not enough on this life. So it doesn't matter if you don't help others just as long as you are doing things that are good for you.
But I've gotten off of the main topic. Can we create life, wait, it is coming. In the lab they have created the beginings of life, amino acids, in recreations of the earths early atmosphere. Sooner or latter we will do it, then what will you try and use as your justification of your religion? Most of the pro god arguments fall apart, but brainwashing can be very hard to undo. Is religion all bad, No. Having something to focus on and believe in is very handy for some people, but they should become diluted in it.

Answer 3

Even if God didn't create humans, why would you assume that people must be able to create other humans? And by the way, what exactly is a "dead" element? Are element truly dead?

Answer 4

It may actually be possible, given technology, to create life one day but that life being a physical shell. Only God creates the inner spirit within human man/woman that dwells inside the physical fleshly body and no person could ever create that. atheist may even point ot a creation of some form of physical body or life and say see there we can create life but they will continue to fail to understand that God is Spirit, exist in the Spiritual world, and man's body is but a container for a God created spirit that dwells within that physical body. That spirit can never be created by man or effected by man's efforts.

Answer 5

Now that is a really stupid question.

I would argue against a person who categorically states there is no god using the same argument I use against religous believers who are so damned sure of their beliefs.

You really don't know.

Atheists don't have any information to go on, the religious texts are all written by men. (and I mean men, as opposed to women too).

Some people are content, albeit reluctantly, to wait and see. Unfortunately, Im not going to hold my breath, because Jesus has not returned, and if he has, then the same people who believe in him would already have locked him up.

This whole religion debate is pointless because most people are not educated or open minded enough to actually consider it properly.

100 point deduction for you, for the most ill thought-out and naive question of all time.

Answer 6

Because they are ignorant of the true creation of the world. As are many other non-believers.
What I wonder is this. If people dont believe that God created the world and all life on earth, then where did it come from? And concerning the big bang theory? Where did the rocks come from?
All life beginning from a single cell organism? Where did that one organism come from?
Everything we see, from the sun to a ring tailed lemur, had to come from somewhere. It all had to start someway.. So how do Athiests and non believers explain that one?

Answer 7

Athiests don't say God didn't. God doesn't come into the equation. God does not exist in the beliefs of an Athiest, hence the A. They base their beliefs on the theory of evolution. Read Darwin. Basically the first beings crawled out oof the boiling primordial soup of the world and beagn to evolve creating, eventually, us.

Answer 8

Why can't the creationists? They - not the scientists - are the ones claiming that intelligent beings created life out of dead elements.

You managed to get this exactly backwards. You should have thought it through before posting and making a fool of yourself.

Answer 9

if your atheists it means you don't believe god or gods... why would we or should we figure out how to create life out of dead elements.. we aren't all scientists

Answer 10

I will believe in God if you can explain to me how to make a circle with a circumference of 30 and a radius of 10, as seen in 1 Kings 7:23 and I will become the greatest apostle for Jesus.

Until then, me and mine will worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster, who I believe created the human 4000 years ago.

My believe has as much empirical evidence as yours, more even as we see the inverse relationship of pirates declining in number since the 1700s and the rise in temperatures resulting in global warming.

Answer 11

Rev, you really are grasping at straws. Not everyone will be saved, that's a fact. Leave the non believers to their destiny, they've heard all the preaching, it's time to give free will. It's good enough for God, it should be good enough for you.
