Can you Athiest's be Un-bias and objectionable with out emotion?

Question

In regards to Evolution Vs Creation.
Can you look at ALL EVIDENCE Without emotion or Bias like a computer?
Example: What if CNN or any or all of the News agency's were to come out and say that Evolutionary Science is wrong and it's evidence was fabricated.
Would you be angry and refuse to accept it out of Partisan politics?
Or would you just accept it. and change.
A superior human being can be with out bias, can you?

Answer 1

What are atheists even doing in this forum. Oh yea, they are begging to be coverted to Christianity.

Answer 2

What you see is not as real as God. What you see should prove to you there is a God. If you try and tell me we just became without a Creator then you need to go rethink some things. Ask any athiest how the whole universe came about to exist and I mean every galaxy, planet and star, also the ones still being created. Ask how the earth has one set speed it is to turn and one set speed to rotate around the sun. Also the sun is just at the right distance for life to be sustained here on earth which includes billions of diverse lifeforms (That according to athiests just popped out of nowhere or crawled out of the Ocean). Is it all just coincedence? Also ask them to get an empty mason jar and set it in their house somewhere and go back to the jar 20 or 30 years later or more if needed and see whats in it..........you know what would be in it? Still nothing. You have to have a Creator and it upsets the athiests. Also, it's easy for anyone to call themselves an athiest when life is good and you have your health but there is coming a day when death will be knocking at your door and that's when you see just how much of an athiest you really are.
Also for the big bang theory supporters........where did the material that went bang come from and the energy to make it go BANG? I'll tell you, God created it and he may have made a "BIG BANG" out of it to put it where he wanted it I won't dispute that because the Universe is still expanding. For evolution supporters, your still missing the "link" and you'll never find it. If you come up with a fossil of a man with gills and webbed feet, then we will discuss some issues but I'm sure your "missing link" will always be missing. All in all the athiests have too many questians to answer themselves that the Bible already explains. I'd rather believe there is a God and die and if there isn't I will then lose nothing but if there is a God and Creator and I've argued to people he isn't then I lose alot. Think it over friend. Are you really sure about denying God? The evidence is against you. The Bible, the only Holy written word of God explains all things past, present and future. There is no excuse for not having the knowledge, it's there.

Answer 3

I'm not an atheist but I don't currently have a faith at the moment. Sometimes I can get angry when I read something along those lines but thats usually when I'm tired/ grumpy/ caffeine deprived. Most of the time I can step back from the emotions and just analyze the facts. That comes from being a scientist mostly and being very analytical.
Being without bias just makes you a very tolerant non-judgemental person. There is no such thing as a superior human being, we are all (or should be) equal.

Answer 4

I can.
Cause I can quite confidently say I'm a detached person that believes in logic.

Curious, Could you do the same if
Example: What if CNN or any or all of the New's agencies' were to come out and say that the theory of Evolution is founded and therefore God does not exist. And that the Bible was nothing but the manifestation of Man's imagination, and the Dead Sea Scrolls mere fabrications.
Would you be angry and refuse to accept it out of blind faith?
Or would you acknowledge it as the truth?
Can you accept that that your existence is mere coincidence rather than divine intention?

Answer 5

Evidence you say?

Do you have evidence that proves the validity of the Bible, or the divine and eternal nature of the Qu'ran, or the existence of God?

No, because it's a matter of faith. I can't empirically prove or disprove your belief system's tenets, anymore than you can disprove that the universe was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

What makes agnostics/atheists/liberals or patriotic Americans who stand by our Constitution and its Bill of Rights angry or emotional is the dishonesty inherent in the promotion of the intelligent design theory by evangelicals/fundamentalists. It is Creationism by another name, an explicit and knowing attempt to dodge the Supreme Court's ruling that Creationism cannot be taught in public schools. Many folks would be fine if you wanted to present Creationism in a class that presented a survey of world religions and their creation myths, but ID doesn't deserve the status of science, to be taught as an alternate theory alongside evolution - ID is theology. You either make a leap of faith and believe in it, or you don't. I'm sorry evolution hurts your feelings, makes you experience doubt, threatens your belief system, or whatever. But shouldn't your faith be strong enough to withstand a little carbon dating? And if it isn't, then it isn't, but it might not have held up to the next article in Discovery magazine about astronomy either (turns out, most scientists, by which I mean people with PhDs from places other than Bob Jones U, think the universe is a little bit older than 6,000 years). Isn't perservering in the face of persecution what Christianity is all about? Your faith is tested, and when it endures, you're a better, stronger person.

There's an evangelical in the White House, both houses of Congress are controlled by Republicans the majority of whom at least give lip service to and/or fear the religious right, Roy Moore clones have been appointed to federal judiciary positions, including the Supreme Court now. My taxpayer money goes to fund organizations that can legally discriminate against gays, Jews, Muslims, and other non-Christians in their hiring practices, and oh by the way these organizations are accountable to no one and have no government oversight, and don't appear to believe in keeping records or statistics.

You guys have successfully eroded the Founding Fathers' dream of a country free from religious tyranny. You won. So what exactly is your problem?

Answer 6

Magical-thinkers don't understand what evidence is. Any old subjective delusion counts as evidence to religious people. And, the reason why a few Christians object to evolution is because they are feeble-minded and lack the rational thinking skills to be objective. Even the Vatican declared this past year that we should all embrace scientific explanations of the real world and to accept evolution as fact. Don't be afraid to rise above your ignorance.

Answer 7

What if CNN told you that gravity didn't exist. Would you be angry and refuse to accept it?

Of course you would.

Biases are a necessary part of life. I have a bias towards waiting at red lights. This bas has taken me far in life and I'm proud of it.

Biases when they are based on facts are correct to have. Irrational biases - like the tendency to resist the mountains of hard data supporting genetic science because of a single book written thousands of years ago - are what separates the superior and the inferior.

Sorry to tell it to you like this.

Answer 8

Religious believers suffer from a common mental illness.

If we assume the universe was created, then it’s reasonable to assume there was a creator. That’s as far as science has progressed today, but just look how far religion has progressed.

Religion states (fact) there was a creator called God, that God still exists, God also created places called Heaven & Hell, God wrote an instruction book called the Bible, God will banish evil people to Hell, God will send good people who follow the Bible to heaven, that people referred to in the Bible (like Jesus) will return to Earth, and a whole raft of other statements of fact. That’s right, religious fact, not assumptions.

Now tell me truthfully, if science doesn’t even know yet whether the universe was created or not, but religious believers state: “not only was the universe created by God, here’s a whole lot more proof and facts to go with it, what do you think?

Either religious believers just have vivid imaginations or suffer from a common mental illness. I think commonsense and logic would suggest that religious believers are mentally handicapped.

Answer 9

We would laugh and know it was April 1st. Study DNA and evolution becomes glaringly obvious. BTW: belief in evolution does not make you an atheist - evolution says NOTHING about the existence or non-existence of God, only that we probably all came from a common ancestor. I "believe" in evolution because I understand what it is and what is not, and I believe in my own definition of God. You are equating two very different things as being the same, and they aren't.

Answer 10

Absolutely. My atheistic opinions are due to my investigations regarding what is real and what is not real. If somebody provides other real evidence then I would have to decide whether that would be significant enough to change my beliefs.
Nobody is going to present that information, so I'm safe. I'll deal with it when it happens. Kind of like falling off a log.

Answer 11

EVERYONE is biased about EVERYTHING. It is IMPOSSIBLE not to be. The question isn't whether or not they can be unbiased or unemotional, the question is whether or not they can set their biases aside to carefully examine the evidence. There are those, like devlsadvoct has shown us, who cannot. When presented with evidence, not only do they make a decision to reject the evidence based on what they believe to be more logical evidence, or a more logical interpretation of the evidence, but they stick their heads in the sand and pretend the evidence does not even exist.
