Why would anyone choose to believe that there is no god in light of the fact that lipids, enzymes, proteins, amino acids and RNA all depend upon each other to function? Check out:

Good observation. Atheism I think is a form of idolatry. Atheism worships Man. It is arrogant, because they think they know all the answers. They trust in the theory of evolution, but it's just a theory. But because they don't want to worship God they deny him, and preach thier religion. Apparently this will become the religion of the future, and everyone will be forced to worship the Beast. The number 666 which is the mark of the Beast, may represent "Man 6" as God x3. It's scary, but look how strong the delusion is, it's being taught in all the public schools and forcefully taught in colleges (lots of arrogant professors). The appeal of Atheism is pride and arrogance. They like to look down on Christians as mentally inferior. "Professing themselves to be wise they became fools". All this was predicted long before modern day Atheism became popular. Christians will eventually have to die, because there will be a system in place that bans religion altogether, and after all the Islamic wars, they will blame religion for the wars, and have a one world government banning it.
One thing I thought of the other day was that I have a theory that the Russians are actually backing the Islamic fundementalists as pawns in thier game. To create instability in the area so they can take over, and to proove to the world that freedom of religion is dangerous, and that Christians are crazy, and evil.

if non belief had legs to stand on it would be like a millipede, dude.
i know that cells are rdiculously complex now, but who says they started that way?
and it is very possible, i think even proven that simple amino acids and other things simple and organic could have spawned from a chemical soup in conditions found on early earth
i read that a science experiment in the 50's ran electricity through several chemicals common on early earth, and out of that they got some simple organic material, which could have grown more complex and over time (3 billion years or so) by chance gained the ability to replicate themselves.
the electricity simulates lightning, something very common to early earth

I know it's a hard concept for you to grasp, as it is for me. Think about the big bang theory, I believe that big bang was God creating the universe because that's what makes the most sense to me. But at the same time, that may not be what makes the most sense to some people. A huge part of religion is finding what you believe most in and what seems like the most reasonable explanation to you about how we came to be. Even though I don't understand atheism, I do understand that it's ok for people to decide what makes the most sense to them and go with it.

In the case of Atheist, that come from a Christian indoctrination and have by reason of free-thinking, that is not by way of necessity for imitation or assimulation with other atheist; they indeed do have a leg to stand upon.
That leg is the result of Christains sin and very bad acting. Not all Christians act badly, but enough have throughout history to put a bitter taste in the mouth of those searching for answer.
The sin of some Christian individuals not setting the Christian example that they profess to have been taught from their text. Instead of some Christians ACT more like there is No God than Atheist, and then hide it under the cloak of Christianity.
To behave in such ways that fellow Humans are mistreated encourages sin and worse yet, disbelief in a Diety. This is sin. A more deadly sin for those who profess belief, because they are to be held to an higher standard. For instance if a cop, lawyer, or judge steals, he should be held to an higher standard than the citizen who is not specifically in the law.
Most that I have encountered in person or broadcast media are not informed of Christian History, Theology and Ethics. Many of them have not come to the religion be of free-thinking, but rather by imitation and assimulation. In other words, they become Poll Parots. This is no diferent than atheist with the same affliction.
Historicaly Christians have performed sadly. Consider that in early Christendom that Bishop Cyril had Hypacia executed for being a scientist. Cyril became St. Cyril. Later during the Inquistion, Christians stood by actionless while people were being tortured. It was a Christian Pope that santion the slavery of Humans while stealing the gold and other natural resources.
Slave boats in the formation of the American Colonies designated Humans as either Chistian or pagan/infidel. The 13 Colonies became 13 states. All thirteen had Christian slave holders. They were the "Yuppies" of their time. Their influence sponsored not only the slavery, but also the genocide of the indigenous population. Christians being so 'blessed and highly favoured', acquired more land by dubious means; continued slavery, and continued to oppress the decendants of their victims. Those Christians got and are still getting rich. So much for gaining the world and loosing the soul.
It might behove U.S. American Christians and Atheist to read not only more of the Christian history, but also Christian American history, to get a balanced view of what should and should not be tolerated as Christian Activity.
To know what the Christian should be, read Harriet B. Stowe introduction to "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Read the history of the Amish. Read David Allen's Appeal, the section where he comments on Thomas Jefferson' "Notes from Moticello."
The only Christian nation to drop a nuclear bomb on a town 95% Christian citizens was USA.
The reasoning used to gain a perspective of an Incomprhensible Diety and ones own relationship to it, is difficult enough without poor examples to witness.
It would be helpful for Christians and Atheist to read "The Age of Reason," by Thomas Paine.
Yes you are certainly most correct to support your position. Simpler and mor complexed examples would have said the same. In any case: Example is the language understood by all.
Christians and Atheist that do not come to their conclusions by Free-Thinking are inreality the same people. Neither will have a leg to stand upon. In short they are false or pretenders.
The Free-Thinkers will have something of truth to offer one another and therfore a venue for discourse. They are true or contenders.

Retard.
Just because things are complex doesn't 'prove' a magic invisible man is watching over us making everything work. That is such an arrogant standpoint. It is how cavemen used to explain thunder and other natural phenomena they didn't understand. What makes you think that your belief is so much more superior to theirs or the other few billion people in the world who don't think like you?
All an atheist is saying is, "I've listened to your stories, and regard them as nothing more than unsubstantiated fairy tales."

It must be so because Wikipedia said it was. Why does man feel so undeserving the opportunity of life as to claim it couldn't happen to them? There are a billion stars and even more planets. Odds are life will occur on at least one, and by golly it happened to be this one.

Why is there a special word for people who dont believe in "God" ... i dont believe in the tooth fairy either, do you have a special word for that?
"Atheism" does not need a "leg to stand upon" as it is all based in reality - not some cra**y 2000 year book called the bible

I think you have that question backwards.
Just because you think that biology is overly complex isn't proof of god, and an atheist would say that it disproves god.
