When did you finally determine that God was non-existent just curious?

In my opinion, evolution was designed by God.

Why is that so unbelieveable?

Feel free to ask that questions of Atheists.

But why are you asking Agnostics? They have not determined that God does not exist. That is why they are agnostic.

As for Evolutionists -- why are you including them? The vast majority of people who believe in evolution also believe in God. In fact, I was taught all about evolution in High School by a Catholic Nun -- and in College by a Catholic Priest. Even Pope John Paul II once said "Evolution is much more than mere theory."

It is only fringe cults within Christianity that have a problem with evolution.

The irony I see here is that they insist on taking Genesis literally -- but these sects do not believe in transubstantiation. Why are they taking Genesis literally, but tdon't take the words of Jesus literally?

If you knew the meaning of the words you are using in your question you would know that Unbelievers, Agnostics and Evolutionists do not necessarily believe that God is non-existent.

This is not a short answer question. Imagine being taught and raised to believe in something, and later realize it's as real as the easter bunny, toothe fairy, leprechauns, or santa clause. First of all, religion is just a traditional superstition made by man for man sent down from generation to generation. I stopped believing in Christians, then Christianity all together. Eventually all religion and deities. They are no different than the Great Spirit that some Native Americans believed in before the white man came and beat it out of them stole their land and gave them christian names. 99.99% of the evil and crooked things done are done by "supposedly" religious people. And, if history is correct, slave traders were mostly Christians or some other form of religion. People don't twist to fit their religion, they twist their religion to fit themselves. How in the world, past or present, could anyone ever think slavery is just. I'm white, and I'm from the south. So, I guess I'm an insider on white racists. But, I've been all over this great country and found that racism against minorities is just as bad or worse up North as it is down South. I had to be raised by my grandparents. One of the people my grandfather admired the most was Hitler, and my grandfather was in WWII. So, that should say all that needs to be said about him. I remember having to hide my black friends from him. If I saw them on the street I had to secretly wave at them so he wouldn't catch me. I remember the church I went to growing up where if a black person would've walked in it would remind you of an old Western movie. The music would stop, everybody would turn around, stare, tumbleweeds would roll down the isle. Now, I'm not saying religion is bad. It's the people. Why not practice what you believe. If people really did what their religion said to do, this world would be such a beautiful, peaceful, loving place. The world needs religion. It helps people deal with loss, helps from doing wrong (sometimes anyway), keeps them sane. Most people can't deal with not believeing in something greater out there. I'm sure the cavemen worshiped the Great Oogabooga, or what ever they would've called it. And just so you know, you don't have to be religious to be righteous. Most non-believers are humanists, and care deeply about morality and justice, and the Golden Rule.

You posted this in the wrong category. In this category, people operated on faith, not scientific reasoning.

Since this question is directed at those of us who have developed the capacity to use our brain cells, you should put it under science and mathematics.

And to answer you anyways, I pretty much always knew that. After being introduced to the bible when I was younger and being confounded that adults believed the amazing stories written in that book, well, I was just taken back by the stupidity of religous folk.

Hey, if you need to believe in God to get through the day, that's fine. But I don't. Thanks for asking!

I guess I was about ten and my mom finally confessed that there wasn't really a Santa Claus. My very next question was "Oh....so God is kind of like that too, right?" and it was downhill (or uphill) from there....

I was born and raised a non believer, there was no determining, I never believed. And as an adult I still do not believe and won't.

I never believed. Just like I never believed in Rapunzel or Cinderella or giants or Pegasuses. I just never believed. Even as a child. I love fiction/fantasy stories, I just don't hold them to be real.

After I studied the subject to its logical conclusion and found no credible evidence to support the bible or God belief.
