Why do people still believe in a magical creation?

Question

Why is it so hard to accept facts rather than magical stories?

Answer 1

because their magical stories offer them door prizes for beleiving.

Answer 2

There is no "magical" creation. God spoke and the world was created I suggest you read Genesis 1.
C.S. Lewis the author of Mere Christianity and Prof. at Oxford said.
"Atheists express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist"
and
"100 per cent of us die, and the percentage cannot be increased. "

Even the old athiest spokesman Antony Flew (a man that debated against C.S. Lewis) recently said that the latest biological research "has shown, by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce (life), that intelligence must have been involved." He hasn't accepted Christ but has obviously some issue with Atheism.

Here are some quotes from Nobel prize winners who don't think it is magical.

"If I had no other data than the early chapters of Genesis, some of the Psalms and other passages of Scripture, I would have arrived at essentially the same picture of the origin of the universe, as is indicated by the scientific data." Nobel Prize-winning physicist Arno Penzias (Big Bang Theorist)

"The principle of [divine] purpose ... stares the biologist in the face wherever he looks ... . The probability for such an event as the origin of DNA molecules to have occurred by sheer chance is just too small to be seriously considered ... ."Ernst Boris Chain - Nobel Prize in medicine

"There is no incompatibility between science and religion... Science shows that God exists." - Prof. D. Barton, Nobel Prize Chemistry

So I suggest that it is harder to believe in atheism than it is to have faith in the facts that can be seen or is pride is another issue here to so read:
1 Corinthians 1

Personnaly I agree with Tom Stoppard.
"Atheism is a crutch for those who cannot bear the reality of God."

the magical one seems to be the one that many scientist and atheists propose that the universe etc. popped out of nothing .

Answer 3

because people are spoonfed beliefs.
they don't change their mind when they grow up and can think for themselves because they were taught to be inside a certain box and are then incapable of thinking outside that box. they can't even tell that the box exists.
i was raised a christian but am now something else. i inadvertanly created my own religion and have yet to come up with a name for it. i believe in something that started the universe, but has no control over the universe (it may have the power to have control, but chooses not to, or it may not have the power at all.) so while i believe in science and its theories (ie evolution), until it can find a way for the universe to come into being without some outside influence, i'm going to stick to my beliefes.

Answer 4

Creationism is for the weak of mind. Creationists or religious types are like sheep. They simply follow the herd and shut up. Very ignorant and small brains as well, so I hear.

~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
The proof and evidence is all around you and everywhere, undeniable proof, and indisputable visible evidence. It is called creation and life. Unless your are blind, deaf, and senseless. You can see, smell, taste, hear, feel, and examine the evidence.
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
We live on a planet teeming with life. Plant life with approximately 250,000 species, animal life with over a million species. Scientists are learning just how complex life is. So complex that it requires design. The evidence of design requires a designer. Scientists are also learning the conditions for life; just how perfect conditions here on planet Earth are to support all this life.
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
The human brain, it absorbs forty megabytes per second of data while awake. That is two terabytes of data a day. At night, it sorts and stores that data through the creation of new chemical bonds and synaptic connectors.
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
Sure, right, this all just happened and evolved. This sort of thinking takes considerable faith, exponentially more faith than believing in a creator.
