May I play devil's advocate for just one moment?

Question

Let's just get all these questions out of the way:

If evolution is true, why are there still monkeys?
If evolution is true, then why is it just a theory?
If Atheists don't foolow the Bible, then where do they get their morality?
Why do Atheists hang out in the religion section?

Everyone please answer this so I do not have to see these questions again...today.

ohboy: Don't you ever wonder why you only have 2% best answers? Hell I am a jerk in most of my answers, and I still have 7%.

Answer 1

Nice try but in five minutes these questions will all be posted again.

Answer 2

1) Evolution doesn't work that way.
2) "Just a theory" is a common straw man arguement from people who do not understand that a theory is a hypothesis that has withstood scrutiny and has supporting evidence. By saying "Just a theory" implies that a theory is little more than conjecture which is not so.
3) You don't need religion to be moral. Buddhists don't follow any part of the bible, and they are a lot more moral than christians. It has to do with understanding that working together for mutual benefit, helps us all.
4) We try, mostly with futility, to talk some sense into those who have not been enlightened by the truth, which is no one has all the answers, but to give up the search and settle on "god did it so it is so" is the greatest sin of mankind.

Answer 3

1. Evolution is true because there are still monkeys, thank you for asking.

2 Evolution is proven, but why ruin a good thing?

3. Atheists get their morality from the placemats at the Chinese restaurant.

4. Atheists hang out in R&S because I tell them to.

I just figured I'd give some idiotic answers from someone with a 22% best answer rate ;)

Answer 4

You might as well post sign in the park saying "Please don't litter".

Speaking as the second-best answerer in Genelogy, where the same three questions come up a dozen times a day:

Where can I find my family tree for free?
Does anyone know the {Surname} family?
What are good sites for ancestors / genealogy?

I would advise you to cobble up a reaoned, polite response, with a line explaining why you were using a "stock answer", save it as a text file and paste it whenever you feel the urge to answer questions.

Speaking of non-biblical morality, here is a joke on the subject. Feel free to copy it. I composed the lead-in, but the punch line isn't original.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all based on prophets, men to whom the Lord spoke directly. Jews revere with Moses as a prophet but do not think God spoke to (or sired) Jesus. Christians revere Moses, put Jesus at the top of their list but don't think God spoke to Muhammad. Muslims revere Moses and Jesus, but put Muhammad at the top of their list. You can't be Jewish, Christian and Muslim at the same time; you have to decide for yourself which of the prophets to believe.

Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are all based on the teachings of wise men; men who thought long and hard, then eventually realized great truths and formulated rules to live by, but did so without the benefit of Divine Intervention.

It is therefore as easy to be a Buddhist and a Taoist at the same time as it is for a San Franciscan to be a '49er fan and a Giants fan simultaneously; you can admire them all.

For this reason, we call the Chinese religions "Non-prophet".

Answer 5

You missed the ever-recurring Lady Hope, but otherwise that's a good sample set of of the groan inducing questions.

If you must have answers:
There are lots of niches,
scientific terminology,
tribalism (and the tao of C S Lewis),
to prevent odd views going unchallenged (and just for fun)

(Edit: just found not a millon miles from here.
"Also, if there's no God where did we all come from? Monkies? Why has this theory only been discovered recently instead of being passed down from generation to generation? Here is a good website against evolution.http://www.rae.org/revev5.html "
Arrgghnhh!)

Answer 6

Boy, you're no longer afraid to open a huge can of worms, are you, lol? it rather is interesting how some human beings will blame the "breed" for any detrimental habit of their canines whilst ninety% of the time it replaced into the effect of little or no (or undesirable) training. yet no longer all canines of a given breed have the comparable point of breed features. Take German Shepherds working example. no longer all GSDs have a intense working force. you have one that DOES choose a job or they'll force you nuts. then you rather will discover one that could be a entire settee potato, keen to snooze with you in front of the television till dinnertime. comparable for cover. maximum GSDs are evidently shielding, and choose no training to alarm bark (on occasion too lots), yet you will come for the time of one now and then without interest in guarding. i think it rather is in many circumstances an outstanding concept to maintain a canines breed in concepts, because of the fact specific breeds DO have organic features that may not be properly matched with what a individual needs of their canines. and coaching can purely do lots in case you have a canines with an extremely intense force to do something you do no longer choose them to do. an outstanding coach can administration very almost any canines habit with adequate artwork. yet training won't be in a position to alter a canines user-friendly character. A dominant canines will continually be a dominant canines, whether they are taught that they are in a position to no longer dominate their proprietor. A submissive canines will continually be submissive, and so on. Socialization can save a shy canines from being overly fearfull, or an agressive canines from transforming into a vicious threat, yet those user-friendly character features are nevertheless going to be there.

Answer 7

there are still monkeys SPECIFICALLY because evolution is true ...it is called EVOLUTION so you slowly EVOLVE in order to survive. Those who dont need to evolve to survive stay at the same level (for many different reasons)

If there were no monkeys, we wouldnt be able to know about evolution!

Morality does not come from God but form your education.

In some country it is moral to eat dogs. It is just a cultural and educational difference.

Answer 8

Yep, you've managed to get all the lame, mindless, overasked questions on R&S and lump them in one post. Sadly, it won't matter. In an hour or so, someone will start asking them again. It's infuriating that no one is capable of using the search function.

Answer 9

I don't know why atheists hang out in R&S. I don't hang out at boat shows. I've met some boats I really like; they just don't interest me enough to spend a significant amount of time talking about them.

Makes one wonder...

Answer 10

These questions have been answered so many times it's stupid. I can#'t be bothered with them anymore, because no matter what answers are given, the people who ask only want to hear replies that don't answer.
