ATHEISTS: Who made you?

Question

That is:

Who made you so intricately, so purposefully, so wonderfully?

Come on, atheists! The "mommy and daddy" answer is such a cop-out.

All right, then: See next question.

BTW, your parents didn't "make" you.

Answer 1

God made them, wether they like it or not?

At the name of Jesus every knee will bow and confess He is Lord!

Answer 2

Who made you is a question that only makes sense in a Ceramic model of the universe (see Alan Watts).

Other parts of the world do not share the ceramic model, it is more of a organic model - the question, would be how was I grown?

There are other models of the universe - why would you think this question would get people to consider if God existed?

(I believe in God, so I figured I would be best suited to point out the flaw. You may take it to heart if it comes from another believer)

Answer 3

Do you always ask a question when you have already determined the answer? I am a product of billions of years of natural selection. My Mom and Dad did the nasty thing and my Mom got pregnant and then I was born. Why is that a cop-out? Is that because that's not the answer you wanted to hear? Awwww, poor you!

Answer 4

Of course our parents made us... how else would any of us have been born with a sperm and an egg... elementary biology..

At least this theory can be proven and evidence can be shown how a foetus grows from the fertilisation of a sperm and an egg.

If someome claims god made us... these is no proof, no signs, no evidence... and that is supposed to be NOT a cop out? Who's the REAL cop out now?

Answer 5

The Spirit of Life, the force of life in all Creation.

You can call this "God" if you want to, but it is not necessary to personify God in anthropomorphic terms to talk about the forces of life and creation that are universal in nature.

You can talk about God in terms of Life, Love, Truth or Wisdom and still discuss the same truths using these analogous concepts, which might make more sense with atheists or other secular thinkers who may perceive life and its mysteries in less tangible, more abstract terms.

If you seek to love all neighbors as yourself, isn't it more courteous to translate your terms into secular meanings first, if you wish to communicate your message. To speak the truth with love, why not choose words that convey the same meaning but in a way they can understand and reciprocate equally, instead of excluding them from the conversation.

Answer 6

I am not going to give anatomical details, but let me just say that a stork didn't drop me off on my parents door step.

(basically it involves some Barry White music, vodka, and the back of a 67 pick-up truck)

Answer 7

My Mommy and my Daddy.

For your added details - wisdom teeth, lower back pain due to load on the spine created when we began to walk upright, difficulty in childbirth (but yeah, a god claimed responsibility for that one), inefficient design of the eye, etc.

Answer 8

I was born from my mother.

> Who made you so intricately, so purposefully, so wonderfully
Wonderfully? I wear glasses. I had my wisdom teeth out because there wasn't enough room for them in my jaws. This is not intelligent design.
I don't see "purpose" either.

Answer 9

I don't know. The most logical answer to that question is 6 billion years of evolution!

Answer 10

if you're talking what beings made me--my parents, my ancestors' genes played a hand as well. not to mention all the experiences i've had in my life that made me, me.
other than that i'd say the transcendent power in the world created us all.

Answer 11

My mommy and daddy- see when 2 people really love one another..... No seriously- my DNA which came from my parents and their parents before them and theirs before them.
