Some questions for atheists?

Question

1. If your belief is true, how did the universe get here. (I mean something had to make it)

2. If evolution is true (like you nuts believe)then why isn't it still going on today?

3. How come we can't find any intermidate species?

4. How could we have evolved from intermidate species, if none are alive today and we can't find any fossils or remains.

5. How did oxygen get on earth, when there had to be plants to create oxygen.

6. How could we, something so complex, evolve from a one celled bacterium.

Awnser these question, if you have any for me I will be happy to answer then

-5 God could that sorry

well Max B Christianity answers the question of who created God in the very first verse of the very first book, Genesis:

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1)

This verse tells us that God was acting before time when He created the universe. Many other verses from the New Testament tells us that God was acting before time began, and so, He created time, along with the other dimensions of our universe:

No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. (1 Corinthians 2:7)
This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time (2 Timothy 1:9)
The hope of eternal life, which God... promised before the beginning of time (Titus 1:2)
To the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. (Jude 1:25)
God exists in timeless eternityHow does this get around the problem of God

yes your right I'm sorry I shouldn't have called you nuts, it's just some atheists on here use extremely hateful phrases, I just thought I would pay them back but know I know not all of them are like that:)

DNA disapproves of the evolution theory. Evolutionists don't like to be told they are wrong but make yourself happy and explain it to God on judgement day.

God has no need to have been created, since He exists either outside time (where cause and effect do not operate) or within multiple dimensions of time (such that there is no beginning of a plane of time). Hence God is eternal, having never been created. It is possible that the universe itself is eternal, eliminating the need for its creation. However, observational evidence contradicts this hypothesis, since the universe began to exist only ~13.7 billion years ago. The only possible escape for the atheist is the invention of a kind of super universe, which can never be confirmed experimentally (hence it is metaphysical in nature, and not scientific).

Answer 1

1)If you ever went to science class as a kid you would know that everything is made up of tiny molecules and protiens. Do you know how a zygote turns into a baby? Same idea with the world; just kept building and building until it became something. If you don't know what a zygote is click here... http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=zygote

2)Evolution takes thousands upon millions of years. Which why you wouldn't think it's happening anymore. The Grand Canyon didn't get like that overnight and neither did we. We evolved, http://www.homoerectus.us/

3)This is the intermidiate species called homo erectus. Same link that I gave to your previous answer.

4)There IS a fossil of a homo erectus skull found in Asia. The reason that none are around anymore is because they started evolving, the ones who didn't died off. All explained in the link from question 2 if you even decide to read it which seem sdoubtful (you seem TOO set in your own ideas to even consider anyone else's).

5)Plants don't need oxygen to live. Oxygen is what they emit or "exhale" if it makes it easier for you. A plant does not need oxygen to make oxygen because oxygen is what it disposes of. http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/newton/askasci/1993/biology/bio027.htm

6)Every human starts out as A CELL. And we all grow or "evolve" in a mother. See site from question 1.

Now if YOU have any more questions YOU would like me to answer for you I would be happy to.

Now I want to let you know that I am not an Athiest, I just found it extremely RUDE that you called a group of people "nuts" because they don't have the same beliefs as you. I hope you feel a little "nuts" right now seeing as how all of your questions could have been answered if you actually go to your science classes at school. You sound extremely young and naive; I hope you grow out of your "hateful phase" you're in.

**Now that I know you like quoteing the Bible here's some for you.
Ex. 31:15 "Whoever does any work on the Sabbath should be stoned to death by everyone in his town." Makes you think twice about wanting to make some extra money over the weekend huh?
Duet.13:13-19 "You must kill every man and woman who does not believe in God, pile thier bodies up, burn the town, and kill all the livestock, then pilfer the town." Now I think your local government might have a problem with you doing this!
1 Cor.14 "All women must remain SILENT in church, they are NOT allowed to speak. If they have a question they are to wait till they return home and ask thier husband. It is a disgraceful act otherwise for a women." Now when was the last time you didn't speak in church? Seeing how opinionated you are I'd say never.
Lev 25:44 "From the nations around you, you may buy slaves. Since they are your property you may will them as you please." If you went to your history classes you'd know that the Bible was actually used by the South as a reason to keep slavery during the Civil War in America. Do you own any slaves?
Numbers 31 "Kill every man amoung the little ones, kill every women that has known man by lying with him. The young women who have not known man, keep alive for your pleasure." Nice huh? Your God says after a town is taken over, it's ok to keep young girls alive to rape? That's one of the reason why Saddam is being hung.

YOU NEED TO DO RESEARCH ON THE RELIGION YOU CHOOSE.

Personally, though I don't believe what the Bible says. I am an educated person and I know that the Bible was altered thousands of years ago by the Romans. The Romans used the Bible to mold the society they wanted. This is a fact. Since you don't go to science class I bet you didn't know that either!

LASTLY. ONLY GOD WILL JUDGE!!! WHY DON'T YOU EXPLAIN TO HIM ON JUDGMENT DAY WHY YOU FEEL YOU CAN DO HIS JOB**

Answer 2

1. No one knows exactly how or when the universe was 'created'. So your belief is no more right than anyone else's. It is simply a guess.
2. Evolution is still occurring today. One example is a breed of sockeye trout that was introduced to a lake in Washington about 70 years ago. The fish has already split into two species because of differing mating habits caused by different environments. Evolution does not stop.
3. There are thousands of 'intermediate' fossils that have been found. The idea that there are not is a lie perpetrated by creationists with an obvious agenda. Visit any natural history museum in the country and you can see this first-hand.
4. This again is completely fallacious. Many 'intermediate' species of man alone have been found and studies, not to mention the thousands of others related to differing species.
Homo erectus and Australopithecus are just a couple that you can research.
5. Oxygen, like many heavier elements was originally created by the immense pressure of stars. Elements up to and including iron are all produced this way 24/7 by every 'living' star in the universe. Elements heavier than this are created by supernovas and other gigantic events.
6. Complexity is relative. This is like asking how something as complex as a hurricane could possibly form from water vapo and heat. Point is: it does. Evolution as a theory is non-debatable. It is scientific fact. The only things unknown are the exact mechanisms involved in this change.

These questions have little or nothing to do with Atheism. These are more closely aligned with cosmology and biology.

Stay in school.

Edit: How in the world does DNA prove evolution wrong? It has been shown in several facets to actually prove it correct. I would love to see some evidence of your argument.

Answer 3

1. If your belief is true, how did the universe get here. (I mean something had to make it)
What do you have, other than personal opinion, to support you claim that something had to make it?

2. If evolution is true (like you nuts believe)then why isn't it still going on today?
It is going on.

3. How come we can't find any intermidate species?
Look up the term "ring species".

4. How could we have evolved from intermidate species, if none are alive today and we can't find any fossils or remains.
Look up "archaeopterix".

5. How did oxygen get on earth, when there had to be plants to create oxygen.
The oxygen appeared after the arrival of the purple and green photosynthetic bacteria.

6. How could we, something so complex, evolve from a one celled bacterium.
Start with endosymbiosis. Develop intracelluar signaling and adhesion molecules. Achieve segmental diferentiation by homeobox genes. Wait half a billion years. Easy as pie.

DNA clearly shows the mechanisms of and carries the history of evoultion. Really, try some hard questions.

Answer 4

1. It's mind-boggling but it's the same question whether you phrase it, "how did the universe get here", or "how did the creator get here". Our brains are adapted for understanding cause and effect problems on this earth, not such questions.

2. Evolution is going on all the time, ie. changes in heritable traits of populations. But there has also been speciation within our life times.

3. The fossil record is chock full of transitional species. You are displaying your extreme ignorance / gullibility (well you called me a nut).

4. ditto

5. Photosynthesis goes back a long way, to bacteria. That is where the high-amounts of oxygen came from. You can actually chart the rises and falls in atmospheric oxygen over time from Geology, and it all fits in well.

6. Evolution. There's a very basic summary here that could be a start for your research: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_human_evolution


My questions to you then are:

1) what do your questions 2 to 6 have to do with atheism? Given that most Christians world-wide accept evolution.

2) have you actually done any research in to evolution, outside of anti-evolution propaganda websites and books?

Answer 5

Here we go again. I just hope someone will get something out of this.

1. Big Bang - which had a natural cause. As to what exactly it was, we're still working on it.

2. It is. You're just not looking for it. Try finding out what evolution really is and you'll understand. Hint: there's a reason you need to get a new flu shot every year.

3. There are plenty. You just don't understand what they look like. An intermediate species between a reptile and a bird won't be bird on top and reptile on the bottom - it will have some features of each, but not piecemeal like so many creationists seem to think. Go the a natural history museum - most large cities have one - to see the many intermediate forms of creatures we've found.

4. We found lots of fossils. See #3. Why would you expect them to be around today? You're an intermediate speices between your parents and your kids. Will you be around forever?

5. Oxygen is one of the many elements formed in stars (along with every element from helium to iron). Look up 'cosmochemical evolution' and 'stellar evolution' for more details on how elements are formed and spread through the universe.

6. Look up how evolution works for the answer to this question - there's not a simple one-liner I can give you for that. If you really are interested, you'll have to look into it. Try www.talkorigins.org .

Answer 6

1) Why do you think someone had to make it? Honestly, we don't know exactly how the universe came into existance, physicists are doing research on it, but it is not an easy question. I admit that our knowledge is limited, but I don't see any reason why someone had to make it. I mean, if you ask like that, how did this God get there? You just shift the question.

2) It is going on today, but it is a slow process and it took billions of years until humans evolved, so it is not something you can see so clearly in a lifetime.

3) There are intermediate species, like the archaeopteryx that is an intermediate species between reptile and bird and many other examples. You can make sequences of species that evolved from one to another and this is very convincing when you see it. We just don't have fossils of all intermediate species because only very few animals that died left fossils (there have to be special conditions, normally all decays, including bones).

4) As I said there are intermediate species, and even so many fossils that show the transition from ape to human.

5) Oxygen always existed on earth in chemical compounds. Water contains oxygen (H2O, O stands for oxygen). Plants produce free oxygen (O2) from water. Not all life requires free oxygen.

6) This is a big question, I suggest you study about the theory of evolution, there are books and websites about it.

Answer 7

1) Why are you so uncomfortable with the thought of a one celled organism coming into existence from nothing, but you have no problem believing that a deity -- which by definition would be the most complicated, advanced, complex thing in the enitre universe --came into existence from nothing?

2) Aside from the Bible, what physical evidence is there to prove that all species were in fact designed, that YOUR god did the designing, and that all other numerous gods out there that other people worship had no part in it whatsoever?

3) If evolution is a lie and there are so many obvious flaws, why is it that all the greatest scientists in the world accept it? If a scientist could disprove evolution it would be one of the single greatest scientific developments of the last hundred years; he would win fame, fortune, awards left and right, everything. What is their motive for not doing so? Is it a conspiracy? What's your explanation?

4) You do realize that even if you were to disprove evolution, that STILL wouldn't prove creationism, and CERTAINLY not Biblical creationism, right?

Answer 8

Just because you are so cute, probably almost ready to graduate from High School, let me say first that you already seem to have the answers to your questions and you are satisfied with them.(Or are you?). No matter what anybody says, you will continue with your same beliefs.
In regards to your question 6, we, the most complex organism in the universe, evolved from one fertilized cell.
Question 1: Nobody created God. Nobody had to create the Universe.
2. Evolution cannot be observed according to your clock. It takes hundreds of years. Remember that the pre-historic fossils were very different from us today.
3. Look in the mirror. You are an intermediate species.
4. Read your high school books again. There are fossils.
5. Chemical reactions from the big bang.
Again, I don't mean to try to change your innocent Sunday School mentality. I am just having fun myself.

Answer 9

Yes, a question for you.

Why on earth do you think anyone would be inclined to discuss with you, when you describe those who differ from your beliefs as "you nuts"?

That several of your questions suffer from very odd assumptions doesn't help; either.

1) "something had to make the universe" isn't a given.
2) Evolution is going on today. Why do you think we're worried about bird flu changing?
3&4) There are thousands of intermediate forms.
5) Oxygen does not come from plants. They recycle it. It originally came from stars, along with all the heavy elements. And life can exist without oxygen.
6) once you've got a bacterium, most of your problems are solved!
Before that, well, you'd need to research exogenesis, panspermia and abiogenesis. And they are not areas simply full of unthinking nuts.

Answer 10

1 - We don't know.
2 - It is.
3 - We are surrounded by them. Every organism is an "intermediate species".
4 - See #3.
5 - From plants. Why does that confuse you?
6 - Through a process known as "evolution".

I'm afraid that it sounds like you have been reading the wrong sources on these questions. If you're honest about this, put in the effort to learn about nature, and don't just accept the propaganda spread by the creationist organizations. Creationist organizations are simply in the business of lying about evolution.

Evidence? Look at how easily several of us answered these questions, which I'm sure creationist organizations presented as real stumpers that scientists can't answer. Oops...
