One question to the atheists.....?

Question

if everything around you is created by someone; the pants you are wearing, cell phone, house, car, etc..... WHY is it so hard to believe that the universe, humans, animals etc.. was created by someone and that someone is GOD?

Answer 1

well i'm not athiest i'm agnostic and who's to say for sure what really happened maybe the atheists are right maybe the believers are right or maybe it's a combination of the two who really knows for sure

Answer 2

Well your question is has one of the worst logic, since somebody is around while making pants, cell phone, etc. Nobody was here at the beginning of the universe, and it wasn't made by "GOD", just because an ancient moral book says there's a god does not make it true. God was used in old times to describe things that was in other words impossible to describe. Let's look at possessions, back in the dark ages human taught demons invaded us and causes us to be possessed. But now scientist have proved this is a mental disorder, that connect to demonic ways because that was what was instilled in their minds. There is no simple no god, when was the last time he has done anything? Oh, not since the people in the bible said so? Also, there is a scientific way to explain how we got here and even when we're going to die. That is why we don't believe god made anything we see today.

Answer 3

By picking the things that were created by people (pants, cell phone, etc.) for your examples, you belie your confidence that the other things are also intentionally created.

Just because some things were doesn't mean everything was - that's simply faulty logic, as should be really really obvious. And in fact the humans, animals, plants, etc. were not intentionally created - they're far too complex for that.

Suppose I told you that cell phones just evolved. How would you show that I was wrong? I could demonstrate that's false, and it wouldn't take the Bible to do so. Now, would that demonstration also work for a claim that sugar maple trees just evolved? Nope. Because they did. It's an entirely different matter.

The fact that there's no god also puts a rather big hole in your reasoning.

Answer 4

Why is it so hard to believe that there isn't a god? There is more and more scientific evidence to support things like evolution, yet christians start barking that people came from adam and eve. Why is it so hard to believe that an evolutionary process occurred instead of a guy molded out of sand and a woman magically appearing from his rib? Which seems more reasonable?? i dont understand why christians have taken evolution and completely distorted into "They are saying we came from monkeys" which is NOT what evolution is saying about humans.

How can you believe in this imaginary being as existent when there IS NO DIRECT PROOF of his existence??? Who seems like the whacko here??

The universe was created by a big bang that occurred spontaneously. You've never heard of any natural occurance that has taken place spontaneously???

Spontaneity and random events are a huge part of our molecular world. Pick up a book other than the bible and read it. It is a sad world when people like christians live in a closed bubble of beliefs.

Answer 5

Let me give you an example. Suppose I gave you an artifact -- like a watch or something. I would ask you if that watch was designed. You would say 'yes', obviously. Now what if I asked you to give me the exact name of the person who designed it. How could you answer me? You would have no idea. The person who designed that watch could have been a male. It could have been a female. He or she could have been young or old, rich or poor, black or white. Maybe MANY people designed it. Maybe two, maybe ten, maybe a whole collection of people. How would you know for sure? You wouldn't.

That's the problem that I have with your assumption. You claim that the universe was created. OK. I disagree with that, but let's assume that it was. Who created it? Why are you assuming that YOUR God created it? Why not Allah? Why not Zeus? Why not Brahma? Why couldn't it have been a TEAM of Gods? Why couldn't it have been some other completely different supernatural force that perhaps isn't a deity at all? How can you take a statement like "the universe was designed" and automatically conclude that your God -- and your God ALONE -- did the designing?

Answer 6

Because there is no indication that nature was created by a competent designer. The human eye has a blind spot that a first year engineering student could have avoided if they were designing a camera.

Similarly, there is no indication that a designer attempted to optimize anything. Returning to the human eye, why can't we see into the infrared?

Lastly, and most damning, there is every indication that if there was a designer he was either evil or insane. Why else would someone purposely design the Black Death, AIDS, or Alzheimer's? Why would someone design a parasite which enters the soles of children's feet, crawls through their body to their eyes, and blinds them? The list is endless,

Answer 7

I can't say with any certainty how the universe came about, but I can answer the rest of your question.

First of all... Humans ARE animals. Only a little more technologically advanced.

Now that we've established that... atheists do believe animals were created by someone. They were created by their mommies and daddies.

Answer 8

And those are objects made of other objects that already existed in this world. Why do you think those original objects had to have been created by a god? Couldn't they have been created through some other means?

No, they were not created by a god. Quit assigning all things that exist into the limited human mindset. Including "they had to have been created".

Answer 9

You could just as easily ask why it's so hard to believe that the universe was created by a great Magical Cow floating in the chaos. There is no evidence that a great Magical Cow created the universe, just as there is no evidence that a great magical masculine god named Jehovah created it. A bunch of people really, really believing something does not make it so. We're interested in the truth, not a comforting fantasy.

Answer 10

Nowadays, for me at least, it is too EASY to believe in god. Just assuming blindly that god is the answer doesn't work for everyone in today's society. Sure, it COULD be possible, but then again, so could a lot of other things. God could exist despite what anyone says, but he still may not exist, even if millions believe in him. Sometimes people need to find the answer for themselves. If there is a god, then people who believe in him are very lucky. If there isn't, then is that so bad?

Answer 11

No, you're wrong. By a long shot. It's easier to believe to complexity of deoxyribonucleic acids and mitochondria; single-cell organisms and evolution.. I like to think on a harder level, and christian views are WAY too simple for me. I like ofr it to be a challenge to know the origin of life and the Universe.

Speaking of complex, I would like to introduce to you a noble idea of studying other religions without coming to immediate assumptions from what was spoon-fed to you as a kid. Polytheism makes more sense because it incorporates evolution into the belief system, knowing that the spirits of the forests and of the oceans work in harmony together.

There is not ONE single god or goddess who can manage the whole universe without chaos existing.

Happy Yule to you and your family.
