Please don't misunderstand me, I too do not believe in God,
but I asked the question why, why do things happen - why gravity, why evolution,
and the atheist who answered said . . . just cause?
Has human evolution produced a mind that can only answer with that?
How early we are in our path of knowledge as a human race.
Impressive we will be as a species in our future answering why.

When I need to solve a math problem I use my calculator. immediate response.
When I need to know the temperature I listen to the weatherman. Response to the best of his knowledge.
When I break my bones I go to the doctor. Responds by taking care of me.
When I learn karate I learn from a sensei. Responds by teaching and using control in life.
When you ask god, what is his response.....2006 years later......still waiting.
Not asking if you agree....just asking if you understand my point?

Maybe for him, that is the best he can explain.
I'm sure you can appreciate every person will have different capacity when it comes to answers.
Your question poses more scientific explanation than spiritual and needs quite a bit more latitude in explanations.
The human knowledge today, is quite limited. Tomorrow it grows and the day after.
Evolution didn't create his mind that way, his lack of exercising it can only lead him/her to that conclusion.
Hopefully our species, over time will be impressive because we ask why.
Any physical property in the universe has purpose, cause and effect.
Why they do that? Rules, regulations etc.
Not enough space here.
Cheers

Why not?
Some questions do not have answers. The question of why gravity suggests that an entity made a decision to create gravity and how it works. So, this entity could be a God to humans.
If you think there is no God, then the question "why gravity" doesn't make much sense. It is a paradox.

your right keep questioning i am not pushing you to religon nor GOD. But newtons 2nd law put it best an Object at rest will stay at rest and an Object in Motion will stay in motion unless acted upon. Thats the key acted upon. The problem with the Bing Bang Boom is that how far dose it go back the Bing Bang Boom seys differnt particles came together and caused an expolsen where did those particles come from ? ? ? no where the earth was not created by an expolison if thier were particles where did they come from and if thats answerd newtons second law seys if something is at rest it will stay at rest thats why Evolution dosnt make sense.

I like your question.
It stands to reason to me, that an intelligent God would attempt to use a method that would get through to the creatures that he created.
He did so, communicating with human human beings in a way that they could understand.
Some who were, and are spiritually evolved enough to understand, passed the message on.
Jesus spoke a lot of spiritual blindness, he also spoke of healing spiritual blindness in those who only needed to ask.
Free gift.
Closed mind.
Sad.
In learning about God, I came across three descriptions of him.
1) Omniscient, If you note that the word science is involved, means all knowing.
2) Omnipresent, always present in all things.
3)Omnipotent, all powerful.
Now we must understand spiritual truths to be in all that exists, to be able to discern this, but there it is.
The knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom.

The answer to "why gravity?" is something that is still a very active area of research by theoretical physicists. I've read some popular science books in this area, but its clear to me that I am unlikely to be able to answer this question, even if I stopped my career now and went back to school and got a Ph.D. in theoretical physics.
The answer to "why evolutiion?" is more within our grasp, but realistically, the answer is going to require a book, not a couple paragraphs here.

The question why is to research the cause of an effect. If you refuse to believe that an effect has a cause, then you have eliminated all possible answers!

Gravity happens because of something called "String theory" which is very complicated and I wish I could understand it better. Physics is probably the hardest thing to understand.

If that's the only answer then YES, that's the only answer an atheist is gunna give ya. If you buy into "there's a point and a purpose" fine but that doesn't mean just cuz you buy into it its true.

"why?" may never be answered, and i'm not sure it should be - isn't it the question that drives us? isn't the only free thing about humanity the choices that we fabricate in our minds? we give ourselves direction, we create our lives; we give, or deny ourselves freedom. whatever you believe, or dont believe, is your choice. so for every existential being, shouldn't we aspire to be the greastest form possible of whatever it is that we truly are?
i define that as god
