Can an Atheist tell me how the universe was created or do they not care?

Question

Is it a requirement to know this to be an atheist?

am I going to get a real answer..........

Yes I've heard of the Big Bang THEORY........but is a theory true or do you just have faith in it???

Answer 1

I'd suppose they believe in the scientific, mathematical, physics-driven Big Bang. Which would be right.

A THEORY can be proved mathematically. Faith doesn't involve math, sug.
.

Answer 2

I'm also an atheist. The only "requirement" to calling yourself an atheist is to not believe in any so-called god.

I'm very curious as to how the universe was created. I believe the Big Bang theory describes it sufficiently well. The space in this reply is not enough to explain the creation of the universe, but i would like to refer you to the most excellent works of Stephen Hawking.

"Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists in history, wrote the modern classic A Brief History of Time to help nonscientists understand the questions being asked by scientists today: Where did the universe come from? How and why did it begin? Will it come to an end, and if so, how?"

Enjoy!

Answer 3

I've heard a lot of good theories about it but none can be proven 100% correct, yet. I accept the fact that I don't know the answers to the question of how exactly the universe came about. It is much like asking a child to explain exactly how a rocket flies to the moon with complete technical details. The child does not know the answer but it doesn't mean he never will or never can. Nor does it mean that if the child said, "God makes the rocket go to the moon" he'd be correct. As a race, we are still children, your question is too deep for us as yet. So my answer is that I accept that I am not all-knowing.

Only through reason will we find the beautiful truth. Imagination is great but it doesn't compare to reality.

The wonder and power of reality is so great I am a little saddened by those who think they already have the explanations for everything in a tidy package called God. Life isn't tidy and easily understood. It's messy and strange and mysterious. One tiny shred at a time we're figuring it out, tiny bits of truth are stacking up.

I don't think you need to know what caused the universe to exist to say "I don't believe the universe was created by magic." Historically everything people say was caused by magic turns out to have a logical explanation. People used to think that maggots just came out of raw meat and turned into flies by magic. Later we learned that flies laid eggs in the meat which hatched into maggots that turned into flies - no magic involved just flies laying eggs. People used to think that lightning and thunder had something to do with Gods throwing temper tantrums, they blamed them on magic. We now know that there are rational explanations (involving no angry Gods) that explain why it thunders.

We are not very advanced yet, we don't know everything, we probably won't ever know everything but we are learning. Just because we don't have all the answers it doesn't mean we have to accept an illogical answer like "it's magic."

Being an atheist only requires that you don't think God is real. Everyone is born not thinking of God as real then something happens in their life that either convinces them God is real or it doesn't. Surely you remember when you didn't think of God as real, figured it was a story like every other story? Then you had some form of epiphany so now you believe in God, you crossed the threshold of disbelief.

Most folks require something more than , "I can't answer all the questions in the universe" to convince them God is real. Of course we can't answer all the questions in the universe, we're only human.

Answer 4

once you're almighty God would properly be assumed to have existed continually, why do you assume that the subject and capability of the universe could no longer have existed continually? Why would desire to it as quickly as have been created? If the certainty that it exists potential that it had to be created, then the comparable is genuine of God. the great Bang concept states that each physique remember and capability we are able to now witness have been as quickly as restricted interior an exceedingly small section. It says no longer something in any respect approximately what it became like earlier that factor. It does not say that it became all created then.

Answer 5

NOBODY, neither atheists nor theists, can tell you how the universe was created. They can only tell you what they believe on this subject and both parties are quite frankly just guessing according to what makes sense to them.

The only "requirement" for being an atheist is to believe that there is no god. End of story. Atheists have endlessly different beliefs and views on everything else, including how the universe came into existence.

Answer 6

Some will say the big bang theory but I won't believe it yet

Answer 7

ever heard of the big bang theory. And what does science have to do with religion?

Answer 8

I'm atheist. It's not so much that we don't care...and we certainly don't know beyond what science tells us. On the whole of things, it honestly doesn't matter. The universe exists...and it does not matter if we can't prove how it came to be. Anyone can prove that it is all around us.

Answer 9

Ignoring your first question and moving on to the second, an atheist is someone who doesn't believe in a God, so the answer is no.

Answer 10

i dont think it is a requirement to accurately say how the universe was created in order to be atheist
i dont think they have rules like that lol
