I want to know how all Atheist believe the world began. Look at the birth of a child and tell me how evolution or science explains this. Look at the own anatomy of your body and explain how molecules created such a complex structure. Look at the sunset and sunrise paintings in the evening and morning. Explain to me how science understands those most intense spiritual moments of joy to crying and chills running down your back. Answer to me how so many species evolved from one another, which has never happened in the recorded existence of mankind. Tell me how we get these feelings or senses of touch, hearing, sight, smelling, and taste. How does science explain this phenomonon! I can find no answer under the sun except God. Many say the reality of God leaves to many holes in the theory. Well than i say the theory of science leaves even more! Thank you

Blessings
Chase

Well then what does explain complexity? Exactly!

Ok i am getting a lot of answers out there. But every answer trying to prove this wrong does not really explain the question. How did the earth get on its axis then? What i am trying to say through all of this that the answers i recieve are using objects which are still unexplainable through science

Absolutely well said sir! I'm in total agreement! Proof of God is everywhere but too many are fools and do not use their minds to see! What really gets to me is the arguments between the Creationists and the Evolutionists. That this evidence of evolution would automatically negate God from the equation, doesn't sit well with me. Why could God not be behind the fact that species are able to evolve in the first place? That's the reason any species do evolve. They are endowed with the God-given power to do so! I think Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is a SYMBOLIC account of our creation, not to be taken LITERALLY, but the Bible believers say we come from God in this instant of creation and evolution of man could not be and evolutionists say we are descended from the ape so this excludes God ? Why is it so impossible that God would not orchestrate the interplay of His creations through the evolutionary process? Who's to say that God did not interrupt the process of evolution in the first place to insert the creation of man symbolized by this account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden! I don't see that this creation of man either subtracts the presence of God or cancels out the process of evolution. I think it is greater evidence of God that our amazing organisms possess this power of transformation through time to adapt to their environments. The cosmos is forever changing. God is the Source. He is the reason gravity exists at all! He is the reason for the rising and setting of the sun and moon and whatever else in our universe. How does any scientific fact negate the reality of God as the originating Source of all said scientific fact? Scientific thought is merely the basic analysis and understanding of all that is the kingdom of God! Without God and His creation of the Universe, any scientific phenomenon would not exist in the first place! How is it some cannot see the forest for the beauty of each and every miraculous God-given tree?!!!

"Is absence of proof of God proof of the absence of God?" No. I think you are leaning more into the area of agnosticism. (atheism and agnosticism are not mutually exclusive). I am an Agnostic Atheist. I don't believe in the existence of deities, but I don't entirely rule them out, either. I personally, feel that the existence of deities is unlikely (though possible). I also feel that the majority of theistic religions are man-made, and impossible. You mentioned an issue of the burden of proof. It always lays on the person making the fantastic claim. If I were to say there were a flying spaghetti monster, you would ask for proof, and rightly so. There cannot be proof that gods do not exist. What you have to do is start from an unbiased point. The evidence does not necessarily support a divine creator. Theists generally tend to lean that way due to their upbringing and social environment. You should always start with the question and try to find the answer. You should never start with the answer and try to fit the question to it.

I do not believe in religion because it has caused tremendous hardship in this world. However, I do believe in God because as you put it, how did these things arise whether you believe in evolution or not? Even Einstein who was basically a non-religious person believed in God or a Power that created the universe and all things in it. I am a scientist, however, I am the first to concede that science is far from perfect. We do not know very much when it comes to the evolution of life here on earth. We are only scratching the surface of learning about the universe and its wonders. Remember, that most scientists will state categorically that they do not know everything even about the specific science they are studying. Not all believe in God, but many do.

Well, I won't answer to everything because it would take me all day, and quite frankly, I see many of the people here already answering them.

I will answer you how religious experience takes place. For this I have to cite 2 sources. One is in Psychology, and it is the concept of mass induced psychosis. I know the term seems offensive because it implies in popular culture that it is craziness, but in the psychological context it mearly means "group experience." Studies show that people in large groups are able to connect with one another to a goal. People in the group will "pump" people into whatever feeling it is; this consequently explains many of the soccer riots. The second source I have to source is from Andrew Newberg's study of the brain during religious experience. What he found is that through certain techniques, sometimes acrquired inadvertantly, the brain is able to blockade certain receptors while stimulating one in particular. The brain then sends these through its neurotransmitters to parts of your body giving you that sensation of chills or inducing weep. Several MRI brain scans show this. The brain does similar things inadvertantly to experience love, hate and other emotions; therefore, spiritual connection is simply another product of brain chemistry. I could go into much more detail, but I think what you wanted to hear is the basic gist of how it is explained. If you happen to be interested in this topic, I suggest reading the book "why god won't go away" by Newberg.

EDiT: If what you want is to be explained how the earth got on its axis, you need to learn about general relativity. Nobody here can explain that to you in such short space. You'll need to pick up a book of it. But I'll tell you this: the answer exists ever since Einstein proposed it.

Just because you believe that god is a likely answer to these questions does not make it true. Through history, there have been many things that were only explained through the actions of god (the rising and setting of the sun, the seasons, etc.). For centuries, this could not be explained. Eventually a theory came to be that stated gravity causes the stars and planets and the sun to spin around the earth. Later this was revised to say we are in a heliocentric solar system (the Catholic church formally admitted to this as recently as 1999). Just because there aren't solid theories now for some things doesn't mean god is the answer because it's the only answer you believe.

The best proof God exists is no other than Jesus Christ himself. What human has been able to:
Silence a typhoon?
Walk on Water?
Multiply a few loaves of bread and fishes to feed a multitude?
Bring back dead people to life?
Give sight to people born blind?
Change water into wine?
Rise from the dead?
All these miracles or signs as the apostle John calls it is undeniable proof that Jesus is God, the second Person of the Holy Trinity. It shows that Jesus had the power over life and death and the forces of nature. Only a God can do that. God sent his only son not only to redeem us but also to prove God exists.
Have a blessed day

Complexity doesn't imply intelligent design. Modern science explains a lot of the things you mentioned. For the other things, just because there is an unknown doesn't mean we should make up an answer or explanation. I admit that there are things about the universe that I don't know. You do the same thing except instead of saying "I don't know" you say "God did it".


Your god is obviously a god of the gaps. When the gaps eventually close, your god will be gone.

The term God-of-the-gaps usually refers to an argument that assumes an act of God as the explanation for an unknown phenomenon, and is a variant of an argument from ignorance. Commonly such an argument can be reduced to the following form:

* There is a gap in scientific knowledge.
* The gap is filled with acts of a god (and therefore also proves, or helps to prove, the existence of said god).

One example of such an argument might be as follows: "Because science can't figure out exactly how species change, it must be God who causes it to happen."

Ok, as for your question about molecules making up everything, look at your computer motitor up close, and the pictures and words on the screen are all made up or little pixels. That is basicly how molecules make up people and all of the known substances in the universe. But as for your question about the evolution of one species to another, it has never happened. The different animals gained traits that they needed to survive in different climates and environments and face their predators. Feelings are fairly easy to explain in laymans terms. The signals you precieve (be you blind, deaf, dumb, or mentally infallable) travel into your brain to be broken down into what we describe as feelings, which may be created and based upon by past experiences.

Chase God Bless you!

I am a Christian. And don't be so hard on science. Science can explain all of these things down to a very physical level. Though I think sometimes when you limit explanations to a physical level you are actually missing of the the reality behind it.

And also you are misinformed. We have recorded documentation of spieces evolving to another spieces.

If you ever want to talk about this or other issues feel free to IM me or EMAIL me.

One, I'm kinda confused about how your question relates to the details of it.

The world began through the Big Bang. The reason that humans have never seen anything evolve is because we have not had language for that long, nor have we been around for that long. The sunrise and the sunset happen simply because the Earth is rotating on its axis. The birth of a child happens through the proteins in our body. Each mother gives 23 chromosomes to the child as does the father. The molecules build up over time. (blahblah random stuff that takes forever to describe) after the child if fully developed it is born. Spiritual moments happen because of chemical imbalances in our brain. Joy and sadness happen because of your limbic system. (Central brain)

Please retake your Bio class.
