Quite often religious persons get criticized because they base their beliefs on a book and have hollow proofs.

But what if… a long time ago, about a million years ago, an alien civilization had changed ape DNA and resulted in our specie.
Wouldn’t it be true that atheists, would have based their own beliefs in to a book - Darwin’s Descent of Man’ – and this alien could be considered a kind of God? The proofs of our evolution aren’t a small amount of bones?

come on people, I don't really believe we were alien transformed. This is just a mental challenge so that atheist may put to the test their beliefs. I guess Darwins book isn't the best idea.

When you decide to be athiest it comes down to whether or not you can belive in a surprime being... I can't. So I am athiest. It has nothing to do with the bible or Darwins Discent of man

Your question makes precious little sense, but allow me to point out a couple things for ya.

1) Atheists have not based their "beliefs" on "Darwin's Descent of Man." Atheism has nothing to do with Darwin - or with evolution theory, which is what you mean by "Darwin" - nothing whatsoever. Please try to get that much through your skull if you want to avoid looking stupid in the future.

2) Atheism isn't about "belief" in anything. It's simply a word meaning disbelief in God. An "atheist" as such can hold a wide variety of opinions on every topic, including religion, including evolution - including aliens!

3) Atheism doesn't need to "demonstrate" itself. Again, it's not a belief, it's a disbelief. It's as if I were to state that the room is NOT full of leprechauns. I don't need to prove that I'm "right" - to sane people - and the only way to prove me "wrong" would be to show me the leprechauns.

4) The actual content of your "question" is almost vicariously embarrassing. You're trying to suggest - apparently - that atheism - by which you mean evolution theory - is as groundless as religion, by inventing an hypothesis so ridiculous that you'd be laughed out of both the lab AND the chapel for repeating it.

When you say 'mental challenge', is that as in 'mentally challenged'?

This is a silly idea. For one thing it's unnecessary: the changes from our common ancestor with other apes has taken place at just the right rate. No alien intervention necessary.

And those changes are incredibly small. We're just chimps with shorter arms and hair, and hypertrophied cerebra. Those aliens would be wasting their time.

Atheists are here to help these "logically challenged" religious people over their delusions so they too can see the light of reason, and reject supernatural mumbo jumbo like god, heaven, jesus, virgins having babies, or talking snakes & donkeys.

Evolution has been proven FACT.
To deny it is to deny reality.
Some people still believe the Earth is flat - it doesn't make it so.


However, it's possible (very highly unlikely) that what you say happened. If so, they are not "gods" because they possess none of the qualities or attributes of a god. A god is not merely the originator of human life, but the creator of matter, energy, time, and space. (along with itself, apparantly)

Well first you would have to prove the aliens did it.

Darwin's theories have been continually bolstered by DNA proof. Whereas the bible proves absolutely nothing, nada, el ZILCHO with regards to the creation of man.

Holy crow, it's a Raelian! Hi there!

I'm an atheist and my beliefs have nothing to do with Darwin. I'm a Taoist.

i'm going to assume you advise the common definition of atheist, IE, "there is not any God". jointly as there is not any genuine info exhibiting that god exists, there is likewise no info exhibiting that he does not. So does not asserting there is not any god be purely as delusional as asserting there actually is a God? shouldn't you a minimum of admit the prospect, besides the indisputable fact that small, that a God would rather exist?

You're making up your owns stories (most probably read them somewhere on the internet). That's how this god-thing got started long time ago too (only there was no internet yet).

Athiesm is not based on one book. Its based on Empiracal Scientific proof. Which Thiests do not even worry about proof but rather just look for faith.

We didn't come from apes. There is no belief involved when it comes to trusting evolution as the fact it is.
