Christians, Why dont you believe that at one point in our origin....?

Question

humans were atheistic like any other animal on this Earth? Oh yeah, intelligent design contradicts it. Oh well!
This question was inspired by another question "Why did God create atheist"?

Agnostic is defined as a person who denies that the human mind can know whether God exists or not. Its not really applied to animals.

Answer 1

Unlike your question, this answer is completely uninspired. ;-)

Answer 2

I would like to answer both at the same time. You see, I missed the question inspiring this one so please forgive me.

First off, God did not create atheists. He gave man free will to choose. Atheism is a choice that people make, just like what to eat or wear or watch on television. If we did not have this free will, we would be living in a "1984" type of environment in which government controls our every thought, move and word.
Secondly, not all humans were atheistic. There has always been at the very least one person who believed and trusted God since the dawn of creation. Man at one time walked with God and communed with Him daily. (another sermon for another day though). Man is the only creation of God to be formed with His own hands in His image and likeness and to have been given His own breath breathed into our nostrils to give us life. We are the only creation of God to have free will.

If you are wondering, I am a Christian man that believes the Bible is truth and life. I also respect that other people have varied opinions and beliefs. Therefore, I can only answer questions based on all information available to me. I even answer some questions outside of R&S.

Answer 3

we are not like every other animal on this planet. Does an elephant know right from wrong? Darwin contradicts evolution when looking at the human eye and suggests intelligent design. Explain how dust gathered from outer space and developed into the human eye which is part of a human.

Is Oh Well your victory statement. you fall way short I,m afraid to tell you.

God created man with free will to see if they will follow evil with their sinful nature, or God with our heart and spirit even though it is impossible for us to do it perfectly. So their are people for Christ and people that are Antichrist.

Answer 4

Seriously, you need to consult a dictionary.
Atheists believe there is not God.
Agnostics do not know whether or not there is a God.

In order to understand the concept of God one needs to be capable of abstract thinking. If animals are incapable of being theists they are also incapable of being atheists and thus they would be agnostic. There is a bog difference.

Answer 5

This assumes that all animals do not recognize the existence of God. What if they are more aware of Him than humans are because their perception of Him is not fogged by intellect that constantly creates arguments to confuse the issue?

Answer 6

well right off... i wouldnt join with a theory that considers mankind to be 'an animal'.

what i see is history that indicates that mankind sought out someone to worship. and early ungodly religions accommodated that need, in an attempt to distract from the God of creation who made mankind.

it has lately been said that atheism is also a religion.. which i would say is embraced by choice not by divine predetermination.

Answer 7

How do you presume to know animals are atheistic? Do you know that they do not feel or sense some transendent connection to the earth, nature or ultimate being. I would say thier intune instincts show differently.

Answer 8

No, I believe that we are very hard wired toward God. And that has always been like it. : )

Answer 9

God did create you to be heathen pigs you choose to be heathen pigs.
