Three part Question?
Seriously how do you believe life began?

Please since you ask us all the time to prove it, can you prove it?

Why does it seem you are mad at the idea we believe in the One true God and Saviour Christ?

It seems those answering are only able to answer the third.

Anyone care to try the first two? I'm surprised no since it seems most nonbelievers seem so opinionated.

Please don't confuse confidence with arrogance.

Thank you for your honesty. I feel compelled to clarify somethings.
Silver' by nonbelivers I was refering to those who ignore the spiritual-self, and so most religions definitley integrate the spiritual self in their beliefs, so this was not a question for them.
Humorist, I've never cared for propaganda videos coming either from the left wing or right wing so, I definitely was not impressed with your suggestion. It was insulting to some degree. And sorry to dissappoint you, I do hold a college degree, and as suprising as it maybe it is in Science. I am going for my bachelors next year. Also, I love science, Madame Curie and Meitner, whom I believe did not get the respect they deserved in their life-time, are some of my heros in a sense. Don't get me started on my feministic views either. But that aside as much as I respect it, science will never fulfill or answer my spiritual-self. Period. I find it odd it deters others and satisfies some in that sense.

1.) Don't know.

2.) I don't have anything to prove yet, because I don't have enough evidence to create a hypothesis.

3.) It is a misconception on your part. We are mad at christian fundies changing the laws of this nation and attempting to ban science from the education system.

It's obvious that all life evolved from a common ancestor. If you don't believe it, go to college and take a biology class. It was not improbable chance, but certainty that life would evolve. Nobody knows exactly how the first cells came about, but if you are arguing that if "since you can't prove it, my position is right" then you are committing the fallacy of appealing to ignorance. Again, go to college, take a class in logic to find out what I am talking about.

Atheists are not mad about the beliefs of christians. You are just delusional and have convinced yourself that there is this cosmic battle between christians and everyone else. You probably know a lot about the life of christ according to the gospel, but do you know anything about the early church, who wrote the gospels or Appolonious of Tyana? No? Didn't think so. I really don't care what you believe, as long as you do not force it on me.

Well, I'll give it a shot...

A) In my opinion, life began from a random chemical reaction that resulted in the first bit of genetic material, probably RNA (for it is simpler than DNA). This then would have led to the emergence of single-celled organisms, which, after MANY millions of years, evolved into multi-cellular organisms, eventually becoming more and more complex until resulting in the world we see today.

B) It is impossible to prove or disprove a god, for it relies on whether or not the person involved has faith or not. However, I see the idea of a god as so illogical that it is impossible. If we believe in gods, why not unicorns? We can't disprove them either, so why not believe in them, too?

C) Believing in a personal god is, to me, the most egotistical thing a person can do, especially since monotheistic beliefs cause most of the violence relating to religion to erupt, as can be seen throughout history. If large populations of people believed so strongly in God/Christ, they would obviously first go around targeting the "heretics," which would most likely kill thousands in the conversion process. Similarly, if other monotheistic beliefs were around (mostly Islam), a war that would most likely lead to the destruction of the world would break out. Considering our ability to use nuclear weapons, it wouldn't be long until the human race would be eradicated thanks to religious endeavors. Also, religion has a habit of blocking out information it doesn't want to hear, which was obvious during the witch-hunts that occurred in Europe (if someone reasoned that it was stupid to believe in witches they were often killed, for people believed that they were witches as well), and it currently obvious through the stands of religion on abortion, homosexuality, and, in some cases, evolution. If religion was not such a focus in one's life, giant scientific leaps would be made, and discrimination would probably decrease.

(Personally, I have no issue with people believing in Christianity. I just find it a problem when something that should be a hobby is dragged out into politics and such.)

I don't know how it all began but I believe the scientists may be closer to the truth than the Bible but who knows. Sometimes I think it's could have been a weird mix of both. I mostly think that it's probably not something any human can fully understand right now.

There's no way I can prove that I don't know something. I'm not mad at people who have a particular belief. I just get mad when people tell me I'm wrong when I never claim to know anything in the first place.

1.) I don't know how life began, that is why I am agnostic.

2.) Obviously I can't, considering I'm unaware of how the universe and Earth came to be.

3.) I, personally, am not mad at any Christians. I'm irritated at those Christians who attempt to force their beliefs upon others and condemn those who follow a different faith. I am aware that there are these types of people in all sorts of religions, but from my personal experience it has almost always been a Christian who is stating that homosexuality is wrong, or that abortion is a sin. I understand and accept your beliefs and opinions.. but I don't think it's necessary to voice it to people who don't care, or to purposely try to hurt people that have supposedly sinned or gone against your beliefs in some other way.

Seriously how do you believe life began? NOT SURE, MY INTEREST IS EVOLUTION. OBVIOUSLY SOME KIND OF CHEMICAL REACTION

Please since you ask us all the time to prove it, can you prove it? IT STILL HAPPENS

Why does it seem you are mad at the idea we believe in the One true God and Saviour Christ? NOT MAD, JUST SAD.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

PS
i assume you rank all other religions as "non-believers". That is very narrow minded.

I've heard life is possibly a chemical reaction able to be recreated in a lab....So things bumped together just right, if they hadn't no one would be around to ask "how did life begin?"

You cannot prove God does not exist. God does not even have a stable definition.

I am not angry at the idea, I'm amazed that intelligent people believe it....

I have no idea.

You might believe that I am lying, but hopefully you can accept my statement "I have no idea" as proof that I have no idea.

I'm sure you realize that you are talking to a cross-section of people here and that you are generalizing to a good degree. That said, I personally find it rather sad. After feeling sorry for deluded people for a while, I tend to get disgusted with them. In my case only, that might explain any so-called anger you sense.

Life began from the big bang and this is proved by astrologists everywhere.

It seems Atheists, Agnostics and other nonbelievers are made because most Christians and the what not are oversensitive.

1. Science is working on that, and there is progress, but because the line in science always goes from one answer leading to at least one more question, then there will always be unresolved issues for any scientific question. The same goes for the question "How does your microwave work?"

2. The scientific process has led to theories that make accurate predictions, which is the standard of proof in science.

3. I am not mad that you believe in anything from Apollo to Zeus, or any alphabetic god, spirit, demon, devil or sprite in between. I will vociferously resist when Christians try to impose rules on those who do not choose to be believers, such as:

Restrictions on teaching science
Restrictions on medical research
Restrictions on women's bodies
Restrictions on the rights of gay men and lesbians
Restrictions on who is allowed to run for office, based on religion
Imposition of religion into the public lands
Imposition of religion into the pledge of allegiance
Imposition of religion into Boy Scouts.
etc., etc., etc.
