Well Science would have not screw us up. I don't see animals torture other animals... I don't see lion raped a female lion and then dismembered it and buried it. I never seen a penguin crucified another penguin. I don't see Zebra Winfrey.
I don't see ants going to colleges. I don't see a tree molested a young tree. I have never seen a cell drugged overdose and suicide. If Scientists have all the answer, if there is no God,
if there is no Devil.... then why we HUMANS act the way we do? Why do we put tax on people? Why we have to work for money? Why can't we just be lazy and just live like cavemen?
We can just live in cave and eat raw meat and vegetable.
And why were we born stupid? Why newborn animals automatically know how to bark, know how to walk, and stuff,
without learning? How come we ain't born with INSTINCT?
There gotta be a GOD that made us this way. So we just gonna die and be food for worm? What is the point of us living like this? We got SUV, nice houses, internet..?

I'm not trying to prove anything...
I am not asking from Christians or Catholics' point of view.
I am asking Atheists, since they know
everything... I want them to explain this to me.
So you are saying Animals and Humans
babies are depending on Adults...
And what about all the starving children in Africa? How come SCIENCE and Mother NATURE didn't provide enough
food for us?
And why the weather can be so deadly?
Why we have diseases? Why
babies are born with terrible disfigurements or diseases?
We should get mad at Science or Atom or whatever for screwing things up.

Well since Ants are protecting the Queen...
Then Ants don't have to pay taxes for that.
Seem like we HUMANS need to learn
from ANTS, and just protect our women and children from enemies for FREE.

What about Katrina, it just so happen to hit New Orleans....
Seem like USA has the most bad weather. We got tornadoes dancing around Kansas and Oklahoma, and then hurricanes keep hitting us, and stuff. Why?

Wow, if you don't see those things in the animal kingdom, you aren't paying attention. Lions kill their young all the time, Ants and wasps wage war on other "tribes" as a matter of course, Whales teach members of thier own pod unique hunting methods, and buffalo seek out lions for revenge of a murdered calf. Hippos save injured antelope from alligators, wild monkeys raise dogs as pets, and trees are not overgrown because big trees kill new trees by robbing them or nutrients and light.
Evolution provides intelligent parents to offset ignorant offspring, and that clearly contributes rather than denies, since humans are the master species. While we are the species to have best mastered this condition, We're not the only animals with this "problem". A dozen rabbits are born so that one might survive to adulthood, kangaroos aren't much more than inch worms when born, and new-born dolphins must be lifted to the surface to breath. Even animals born with an "adult" sense of instinct at birth, like the spider, have infant mortality rates in the 99% range.
In fact, the non-human animal kingdom is the most violent form of existence. Humans (or animals protected by humans) are essentially the only creatures to consistently die of old age.
And while I don't know "what the point of life" is, I certainly hope it's not to end up subservient to a supreme being for eternity.

How do you know the female lion wanted the male lion? Did you ask her? Because you don't know for sure. Have you ever heard house cats?
Also, humans are born with instincts. If you ever saw a baby, you would know that. Their heads are smaller and skulls are not hard yet so they can fit through the birth canal. This was from millions of years of evolution. Just look at the similarities between us and chimpanzees for that.
Pick up the book "Germs, Guns and Steel" (order may be wrong) and read his theories on why some cultures have a lot of resources and some don't. It's really very interesting. The author's a zoologist. Other recommended books are "The Naked Ape" and other books by Desmond Morris. He's also a zoologist and has become an expert, I say, at observing and analyzing the naked ape- humans.
Science is far too useful to not use. People are curious, and want to know everything. I think science will explain most things at some point. It also saves lives. And destroys them. It's not science, it's humans that you should have a problem with.

Regarding cruelty, studies have indicated that chimpanzees will actually hunt and kill prey as a socializing behavior, sort of a akin to buddies going out in the woods and shooting a couple deer. The chimps didn't really need the food (the observers noted an abundance of other foods more easily accessible), but it was done as part of a group behavior.
Also, humans are born with instincts; we know how to suck. Literally. Like on nipples and stuff. Babies also cry and make noise to get attention, ie for food and getting cleaned. If we had no instincts we would just take all stimulation in stride and react in more passive ways.
But if there is a god, why do things kill? Beyond the urge to eat I mean. Why not make all life vegetarian. For example, if I were to genetically modify a lamb with meat eating teeth and a carnivore mentality society would look upon me as a monster (albeit a fairly smart monster).

The most ridiculous question EVER asked, proving there is no God. Humans do have instincts, like all other animals. You should know this since you have instincts also. When your Mother breast-fed you, you had the instinct to suck.
I'm not sure how to answer your "why are we born stupid?" question because THAT is stupid.
We put tax on people so the governments get rich.
I've never seen a tree molest a sapling but that doesn't prove God exists!
We already lived like cavemen. It got boring. That's why we developed.
There is no point to life. Have a nice day!

you are correct, and hilarious, you believe in God, that is the number one pitfall of humans, because we can think complexly, we also believe whoever created us is like us. But if we were animal, we would not think this, and there would be no God. Thinking has caused a war. You are right, we should be living like cavemen if we want to keep living on this earth, the bible is true all the way, except for there being a God, it was a book created by smart people who know our end, they couldnt just tell people what they are doing is wrong, because they are people themselves, but if they have an all-knowing, all-seeing person watching us, then we will obey. Some of these people repent and misuse their mental power, using the word of their made up God to enslave humanity. Or maybe God is real. You cannot prove it, its faith that counts.

particularly the can of worms there. 2 issues. 1st Christians see this international as temporal. that is going to end. that is going to burn, It has fallen, it fairly is corrupted. What human beings do or do no longer keep in mind approximately us, concerns no longer. particular some could evaluate being a ideal seeing author to be an honor. yet in a Christian’s view, having little ones who save on with in our footsteps to serve our God is as extreme because it may get. it somewhat is, in our view, everlasting. each little thing else will bypass away. keep in mind some years in the past, the Murphy Brown, Dan Quell themes? the place he made a dedicate approximately her practice have been she exchange right into a unwed mom. a chum on the time, reported, he purely wanted he exchange into as conventional as she. I informed her actual there, that the day could come that she could be forgotten, yet being vp Quell could be keep in mind far into the destiny. it somewhat is comparable. No the 2d difficulty of guidance could in high quality condition this, Paul 2000 years in the past made this sparkling For the message of the bypass is foolishness to those that're perishing, yet to us who're being saved that's the flexibility of God. For it fairly is written: "i will harm the information of the sensible; the intelligence of the sensible i will frustrate." the place is the sensible guy? the place is the coed? the place is the logician of this age? Has no longer God made silly the information of the international? BTW, Our pastor retired from the Houston area center, he's a Mathematician, and alter right into a rocket scientist.

We are aware that we live on a planet. That there are billions of other solar systems in our galaxy, and that there are billions of others that we can see.
I think, because we have this awareness, we are eager to "play", explore this universe, therefore build spaceships and so forth, so build an ever bigger civilisation and economy.
Seriously, what's the most serious organisation? NASA
What's the most mysterious are scary place (thats real)? Area 51
Its in our subconsciousness. We can picture immense space, therefore we feel that we are destined to master space travel.
It's a bigger cause than anything else on earth (in our mind anyway).

Thanks to medical science, our life expectancy has tripled in the last 200 years. Going back to relying on god and religion will set that figure back...makes no sense. And who will be nudging that planet killing asteroid off its course, the hand of god or the scientists at NASA, i know who i'll be placing my bets on.

I am Catholic and don't believe in the evolutionationary theory that apes turned into humans over time. But I do believe that some species have evolved (changed) over time in order to continue to survive. I have to say, though, that I see where you are coming from but I have to poke some holes in it. There are many animals that are completely helpless at birth and are dependent on their mother or both parents for months or even up to 1-2 years before they begin to go out on their own. Kangaroos are tiny 1 inch babies, naked, blind that have to nurse in their mom's pouch for months until it can leae and hop on its own, then it still stays with mom for several more months. Same with possums. And Panda infants are 1 inch long and completely helpless. Birds need their parents to feed them for weeks before they can leave the nest for the first time. There are few animals that have to walk minutes after birth in order to stay with the herd, like horses, cattle, elk, deer,..... So humans aren't the only animals (mammals) that ae dependent on their mother for food for months after birth and for protection.
Humans have instinct. Human babies, after nursing age, know that they need food and will get food on their own if left in the house alone. They seek out food and water and safety and comfort for sleep. They prefer their parents because it's our natural instinct to care for our children different and longer than animals in the wild do. But if children were left alone in a house for a week, they would work together to survive. Just like herds of animals.
Humans are not born stupid! Why do you say that?! Babies know their mother's voice becuz they've heard it for 9 months. They notice their parents' faces soon after birth and will smile at their parents but cry when they see a stranger or a person that they don't see that often.
You arguments of a tree molested a young tree is purely stupid. You have to admit that one cuz trees have no brain and can't move about. Ants don't go to college but they are geniuses. They can build intricate homes with yards of tunnels out of dirt and work non-stop and only have one queen and no king. They never stop. If a person steps on their hill and kills half of them, the rest just continue to survive and protect the queen. And like many other animals and insects, they will sacrifice themselves to protect their queen. We have to pay bodyguards lot of money to protect someone & rarely do they have to die while on duty and they still get to keep their money. So which one is more selfish there, the ants or the humans?
God did create us, I believe that. But I believe that because of our free-wills, we have used our intellectual brains to create technology in such a high power that we now can destroy all of the creations that God originally created. So again I ask, who is more intelligent, the animals to live to survive and reproduce or the humans that live to gain more pride, greed, pity, jealousy, money and power? Who is God smiling down on more? Who is living their lived according to God's will? Who is living out their purpose to God's creation? Animals or humans?
