If GOD is a myth, than where did we come from?

Question

When christians put forth their beliefs, atheists say prove it, you are mindless and not capable of intelegent thought, there is no GOD and my favorite is "science". Give me your intelegent view on how we came about, and we will see what is more logical. All people have a history and a starting point, the bible is ours, where is yours.

Other than isnsults which are below even you, it's not enough to say the library or bioligy, because there are so many competing views. I am asking about you personaly, how do you justify your existence?

Answer 1

Science is working on the answer, give it ten or fifteen years and we'll likely know.

Answer 2

I'm not an atheist but think of evolution. It's all so easy to see that man has come from apes and before that they came from even worms and before that they came from single celled creatures. Watch the movie "Evolution" and get some insight. Science has proven many tings in the Bible but the Christians refuse to believe in science. It's just that the Bible doesn't go into detail where science is based on detail. You have to have faith to believe in what the Bible has to offer but science is proven so I say, prove to me that science is wrong and you might have a leg to stand on.

Answer 3

You know those buildings with books in called libraries? Well they are full of books about how over the last 250 years or so we have managed to answer that question. Sorry I can't answer you in 4 words.

Edit:

I'd love to know what those competing views are, its all pretty much settled, but then again I've only spent 25 years researching it. And what on earth can you mean by 'Justify' we just exist thats all.

Answer 4

Here's where your confusion arises, (apart from your difficulty with "than" and "then") you assume that because you repose your faith in the Bible, and it gives you an origin myth, that everyone else is required to have an origin myth.

An atheist is merely someone who does not believe the same things you do. An atheist is someone who does not believe in God. It is not necessary for an atheist to have an origin myth to be an atheist.

Answer 5

We evolved. Four billion years ago, approximately a hundred million years after the emergence of solid land, life arose on Earth. We are not sure which of several hypothesized mechanisms accidentally created the first self-replicating molecule, most likely ribonucleic acid (RNA). It could have arisen from deep-ocean hydrothermal vents, from pools of organic “soup,” from alkaline seepages along the ocean floor, or from several other processes.However it happened, once this molecule was formed, it copied itself repeatedly. But not all copies were perfect, either through copying errors, or through environmental attacks on the molecules. The mini-environment in which the molecule first arose was soon filled with a number of slightly different versions of the original.

And evolution began. The four keys to evolution, as enumerated by Charles Darwin, are variation in a population, inheritance of traits from a parent, reproduction, and limited resources. This mini-environment of self-copying molecules had all the ingredients necessary. Once the environment was filled, offspring could only be made by those who could compete better for the scarce resources, or who could survive and copy at the fringe or outside the environment. Molecules with beneficial variations survived and reproduced in greater numbers. Those without did not. And the cycle repeated: variation due to copying errors or the environment, better survival and reproduction by those with certain beneficial traits, a new generation with variation, a new wave of survival and reproduction. Individual molecules usually did not change, but the population changed generation by generation, one tiny modification at a time.

Answer 6

Organism's: broadly defined as an assembly of molecules, that influence each other in such a way that they function, as a more or less, stable whole, and have properties of life. However, many sources, lexical and scientific, add conditions that are problematic to defining the word.

Answer 7

* If Christians did not try and force the athiest to beoieve theri way, then the athiests would not say prove it. I know because I am pagan, but I do not froce my beliefs on them and I respect their right to believe there are no Gods or Goddesses. They do not challenge people who do not challenge them, at least I haven't seen this, but I do see questions here asking why athiests and pagans get along so well. Like I said because we do not force our beliefs on them and respect ther belief in no God.*

Answer 8

life is a system in which proteins and nucleic acids interact in ways that allow the structure to grow and reproduce. It's that growth and reproduction, the ability to make more of yourself, that's important.
Adaptation,reproduction
4.5 billion years of processes to have what we have today


not to mention the remarkable evidence we have that human retro viruses match identically with ape retro virsuses which are phsyically impossible to detect a match unless we have passed down the gene

Answer 9

Try a Biology book next time you are near a public library.

Answer 10

If I took my iPod back in time 2000 years, could anyone prove how it worked? Would it be right of them to call it magic? Just because we can't understand completely the infinite boundaries of our existence, doesn't give us any right to make up a god to justify it.
