ATHEISM is equivalent to believing that a tornado could sweep through a junkyard and form a Boeing 747?

Question

All life appears to be designed, and evolutionists have failed to adequately explain why. Adaptation to environmental changes, mutations, and natural selection has not validated macroevolution. Louis Pasteur disproved spontaneous generation of life. Sir Fred Hoyle and Charles Wickramasinghe stated in their book, Evolution from Space, that “they estimated the probability of forming a single enzyme or protein at random, in a rich ocean of amino acids, was no more than one in 10 to the 20th power.” Next, they calculated the likelihood of forming all of the 2000+ enzymes used in the life forms of earth. This probability was calculated at one in 10 to the 40,000th power. They popularized the following cliché: “belief in the chemical evolution of the first cell from lifeless chemicals is equivalent to believing that a tornado could sweep through a junkyard and form a Boeing 747.”

Answer 1

That's about the size of it. One would have to have Playdoh for brains to not see God in all creation.

Answer 2

It is true that there are some questions that we do not as yet have answers for, but that does not mean that we will never have an answer.
It may be that we find scientific answers for the coincidences that gave us the opportunity to be here. It may be that in the end the only answer is that we were designed by a higher being.
Whatever it ends up being we just have a different point of view at the minute.
I only hope that if it is option 2 that all you 'god' people are happy with what you get, if not that will probably just be another argument and war.

Answer 3

So this means that we were created by some all powerful, all seeing, all knowing being that dosent show himself, dosent help when you really need it and is the most illogical explanation for anything that I have ever heard?
But isnt waht youare describing exactly what God is supposed to have done? Didnt he "create" Adam from dust? whats the difference? Youi state in your question that the liklyhood of life spontanously generating is astronomical. But yet your God can do it? It sounds to me like your argument pretty much disqualifies God from doing the same thing. Oh right, I forget. He can do anything at anytime because he is all powerful. He can even do the same things that you say here are impossible to do. Amazing.

Answer 4

Tornadoes- I don't know how to break this to you- are not living things, not intelligent living things, not things that are naturally oriented to survive, not airplane designers. The engineering staff at Boeing would like to thank you for comparing them to God, but their modesty does not allow them to accept the compliment.
If we wish to discuss the idea of proof of how life originated, no one has any proof of any kind. Religion and logic each have their own sets of rules and neither conforms to the rules of the other. I don't see a problem with that. Football doesn't conform to the rules of marital relationships and yet both things exist in the world. There are areas of human endeavor where spirituality interfaces with physical life, but there is far more evidence to suggest that physically living creatures developed spirit than the other way around. If you find the statistic about forming proteins at random to be impressive, you should look at the statistics regarding the creation of proteins using only spiritual energy.
I can only speak for myself on this question, but I have never met a spirit that wasn't connected to a living organism somehow. Life develops itself by surviving

Answer 5

Atheism is simply lack of belief in a deity... and truely has nothing to do with evolution, however most Atheists do subscribe to evolution as it is a fact that requires no belief. Life only appears to be designed to those who wish it to be so. You have taken a tiny sampling of complex information from sources that skewed their studies and who happen to agree with your stance. However, if you were as educated as you would like us to believe you would see the faults in your arguments and come up with something better.

Oh and putting a question mark at the end of a sentence doesn't make it a question. You just needed a soapbox today, when you could be better spending your time studying the complete set of facts regarding evolution and atheism.

Answer 6

That's a Fred Hoyle-ism. Hoyle was an astronomer and a science-fiction writer. He's wrong.

This morning when I woke up, I put on my glasses. I repeat for emphasis: I PUT ON MY GLASSES. If my eyes were intelligently designed, I'd have muscles to focus them without glasses.

Answer 7

The very thing you mock...the creation of life from a, as yet, unknown natural source....is the very thing you believe except you want to through in a all powerful, invisible, omni-potent being that created man from a handful of dirt. While what we know of evolution does not YET explain everything at least it is a workable, intelligent, logical theory not just a blanket...I don't understand so some god did it attitude. The chemical evolution idea you seem to discard so easily is still only one of several theories. We may never know exactly how life started on earth but I for one has no doubt that it WASN'T from some man made god and a handful of dirt.

Answer 8

the tornado in the junk mixed up all the elements that made man evole so he can make a boeing 747 the the christian book is writen by hundredes of monkeys on typwriters and thay do not no the story so thay type random letters to make there book

Answer 9

What the hell does atheism have to do with the Boeing 474 analogy? Don´t you mean to discount the Chaos Theory that order was born out of a random coming together of disorderly objects through an infinite period of time? I think it hogwash also but I fail to see how your argument disproves Atheism which is a belief that there is no god.

Answer 10

Your cliche and there calculations fail to take into account any kind of frequency or amount of time. These flawed statistics are not logicaly accurate. They are the product of a religious right agenda. That tornado by the way is almost as complex as the 747, does it require design?

Answer 11

I have to agree that the present 'scientific' theories on creation of life are nothing more than sheer rubbish. But despite overwhelming scientific evidence, scientists are still not willing to admit they were wrong and withdraw these ridiculous claims. The problem lies in that science has slowly become atheised as they sought not to back up any theistic ideas, but to back up wobbly theories with very slight and irrelevant evidence, such as the theory of evolution.
But it has to be said that any strict atheist has to be admired- it takes more faith to be an atheist and believe in these astronomical odds than it does to follow any religion of any sort.
