Creation shows that there is a creator, so why are there atheists and agnostics?

Question

Atheists: don't believe that there is a 'God'
Agnostics: don't know either way (are nuetral)
Christian: Believes that there is a creator God that came in human form (as the Lord Jesus Christ) to act as a 'scapegoat' for the sins of man kind. Through faith a Christian accepts this same Jesus as their Lord and savior, repents (changes there ways) and believes they have been saved. By the way Christains are saved by Grace not by works (what they do), it's all God's doing. Read the Bible for more info (especially the New Testament)...

Answer 1

Free will and freedom of religion

Answer 2

You know, I have a t-shirt that says "There are no stupid questions, just inquisitive idiots."
I'm going to wear it more often, after spending a lot of time on this site.

Anyway. Back to the question. And it's a damn good one that the ASKER should actually think about instead of trying to proselytize and evangelize.

"Creation shows that there is a creator"
Begging the question/circular logic. Need I demonstrate it?
Creation shows that there is a creator. How do we know there is a creator? Because of creation. And because creation can be seen, we can assume that there is a creator.
*gets dizzy*

BUT.
Assuming that your god exists, asker, I'll bite and address the next part of your question, which YOU should consider.
"so why are there atheists and agnostics?"
1. Everything that exists is part of God's plan. (right? with me so far? Good.)
2. Atheists exist. Atheists do not believe that a god exists, and some even go so far as to believe that God doesn't exist at all.
3. Atheists are part of God's plan. (From 1 and 2)
4. Therefore, either God wants atheists to exist or there is no God.

Answer 3

Let's think this through. Did Jesus write the bible? No....guys who hung around Jesus wrote the bible...or at least sections of it, and they wrote it years later, as kind of a gift to the world. Then a couple of folks found these "memoirs" and decided that some of them just didn't fit into the framework of what they wanted in the "holy book", so they excluded a couple, leaving the ones, of course that conveniently fit into their mold. It wasn't too long after that there was a group of these book believers who mounted their steeds and opted to kill anyone who wouldn't believe in the selected chapters of the book that they had decided were "gospel". Even now, there are individuals who fly the banner of Christianity and preach hatred and judgement, based, once again on these select chapters that were put together to form their "bible". Understand, however, that atheists know there is no god. It has nothing to do with belief. Agnostics in general want to hold to a higher power, but aren't sure which is the right one. When people stop believing everything they're told that is supposed to be divinely inspired, we may actually stop fighting over whose invisible man is better.

What is your question?? "Creation" is NOT a Christian term; the dictionary defines creation as the act of bringing something into existence. Nontheists (Atheists and Agnostics) object to "Creationism" considered "truth" and being taught in public schools as an alternative to evolution since creationism is not scientifically provable whereas there is much physical and mathematical evidence for evolution and for the "Big Bang" theory of the origin of the Universe; it is possible now with current instruments to detect the remnant radiation from the emergent Cosmos. Whatever the Bible may proclaim, there will be found somewhere in a library a book or thesis which will present a contradictory view of what is regarded as reality. Nontheists generally will study various positions and concepts, inclusive of religious ones, to derive a philosophy or science which is compatible with his or her deductions as to the nature of our existence and how it occurred...

Answer 5

Your post is very interesting:

First though I agree - There is sooooooo Much Physical, Theological, Biological and Spiritual Evidence..... I do see how ANYONE can not see the Lord!!!!!

However - God did give us 'Free Will' and as for me - I found Jesus in the Old Testament - As I was born a Jew - Then, I was Introduced to the New Testament! That was just further verification of what I saw as THE TRUTH!!!!!!

All we can do - Is Witness as Jesus taught - and share (not be 'pushy') to all who we come in contact with as the Spirit Leads!

God Bless - Take Care.

Answer 6

Because your creation story is an unsupported supposition. Basically is it make believe, a fairytale.

Atheists ain't stupid to believe your imaginary sky daddy is real. Especially in light of the fact that there is no evidence for your god fantasy.

Answer 7

I hate to admit it but there a lot of athiests and agnostics who would say that they believe that way because of Christians. Like DC Talk said, "the reason for many athiests is because of Christians. Who profess with their mouth but deny him through their actions." This is what an unbelieving mind simply cannot understand."

Here's an interesting link for you. It is between an athiest and a fallen Christian leader. You'll need quicktime to view it. Wait a minute or so for the download or video stream to start.

Answer 8

You ASSUME there is creation because your bible tells you so. The bible IS NOT proof of anything, much less that there is a being that created the earth and us.

Because your initial premise if false, your entire argument is false.

Answer 9

No matter how many times you claim that, if you provide no evidence, there's no reason to listen to you. There is no evidence of a creator in this world - VA Tech can tell you that.

Answer 10

What are you? A dictionary?

I know, you're never gonna tell me what created your god. If creation shows that there must be a creator, then the creator must have been created as well.

You will say "Nooooo, God was always there". I will answer "No silly, the universe could also have been always there".

Then we go on and on in circles.

It's really simply: proof me that your god exists, and I'll believe in it. It has to be your god, not A god. If you convince me to believe in a god, I still need to choose between 10,000 gods. So, easy, proof me your god, and you have me as a member of your cute little group.

Answer 11

Not all Christians believe in the trinity. Sorry.

And what's the point of this? Were you planning to convert some athiests or something?

Don't bother with this stuff. You can't "prove" religion, that would defeat the purpose of faith. So go with your worship and stop trying to shove your ideas down other people's throats.
