No I believe that god made a woman from a rib and a man from dust, and then put an apple tree directly in front of them saying "don't eat that"
I also believe that God sat around eternity for an infinite amount of time and when he got bored 6000 years ago he created the earth in 6 days.

Just for the record scientists have attempted to recreate the Big Bang theory using the same compounds that were availble at the time of the Bang. They came up with TAR. There is nothing in tar that will sustain life let alone cause it to grow into what you see before you.
If you ever want to see evidence of creation disect an eye ball some time. The minute structures that allow you to see could not have evolved, they are too intricate. Some one with some idea of what is needed to see had to have come up with the fundamental eye. Or the Kidneys. Do you realize how intricate the Kidney is? All the blood vessles, corpusles, and other things that are needed to properly filter out the waste from your body? If you ever want proof that humans and apes are similar yet nothing alike do a cadaver lab on a human then disect a monkey.
Believe it or not structurally we have more in common with rats and cats. Now you tell me that we just grew from little tad poles in a pond into walking, thinking, up right beings that just happen to be the top of the food chain.

I'm sure if you think about it openly it does not sound so bad that this all happened by chance. Considering the size of the universe and our progress (alone), the idea that this happened (or just happened) shouldn't shock you.
The idea that we are part of a diety's project, to me, is shocking. I'd like to think that if there was some kind of higher power, or god, or whatever, humankind (and animalkind for that matter) could be spared from things like 4 year old children who have leukemia, tsunami's that devour people by the thousands, and for the dogs, the flea epidemic (you may think it's funny, but ask a 4-legged furry one).
The idea that this is all part of some plan, some master plan, is plainly just sick. If I had a friend who told me her husband tortures her, but does it because he loves her, and she thought this was a good thing, I'd smack her in the back of the head.
Also, I am of the opinion that we gravitate to Jesus/God, Allah/God, Lord Ganesh, and my personal favorites, the Olympians, because the idea of death is to final for us.
Why... what happens... where do we go--we must go somewhere...what does it mean... will I be judged... who will save us... People, at least in my experience, get scared when they think about these things. People feel the chaos in these thoughts. A doctrine that organizes these thoughts neatly into what should and what shouldn't be makes the days go by easier psychologically. Here people won't become 'worm food' and be part of the cycle of energy, but instead will go to some heavenly place where their 'father' loves them completely, sitting on clouds, eating with loved ones, and my personal favorite... the 40 virgins (fantastic... anything for the betterment of man (not woman) I always say).
What really puzzles me is how the variety of 'gods' are so different from one another, while believers are so quick to attest to the notion that they've chosen the right one. I assure you, if (and this is just for the sake of playing devil's advocate) you follow a judiac doctrine, and the Mormon's are correct, that jewish person will go to hell... no matter how devout. There is no place for the devoutly wrong...
For what it's worth,
Sense

I believe in evolution. Because of scientific evidence, I believe that every living thing on earth today has evolved from single-celled organisms. There is just too much evidence that supports evolution and it cannot be overlooked. I also believe that the universe has always existed, but it is constantly changing. Let me elaborate:
A law of physics is that matter cannot be created nor destroyed, but it can be transformed. For example, when we boil water, the water does not disappear, but rather turns into a gas. Matter cannot cease to exist nor can it be created.
The universe and everything in it is matter. Trees, rocks, stars, planets, people, animals, bibles, cars, fruit loops, and disco balls - EVERYTHING that physically exists is matter.
Therefore, if the universe is matter and matter cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only follow that the universe has always existed. It is a hard concept to grasp, but I think it is the most reasonable conclusion.
It would be nice to believe in a god that created universe, but it is just not rational. Science and reasoning is solely responsible for all of our progress as humans. So I ask, why is it rejected when applied to issues of religi

I have no idea actually. Im not exactly what you would call a science person. I can hardly understand science. Im just an atheist because it just make the most sense to me right now. Who knows, maybe in a few months Ill believe in some God character but right now Im still searching for answers just like every other person out there.

I am an atheist because I don't believe in deities and the word atheist describes this state of disbelief. I don't believe in deities because no argument or evidence presented to me in support of their existence has been convincing.
1. Biology adequately describes life and emotions without appealing to mystical invisible dieties
2. Astronomy adequately describes the formation of stars/planets/universe/etc without appealing to mystical invisible dieties
3. Geology adequately describes the evolution of the Earth, land formations, etc without appealing to mystical invisible dieties
4. Psychology describes the human psyche better than appealing to mystical invisible dieties
5. Appealing to mystical invisible dieties is an appeal to ignorance
6. There's no physical evidence for the existence of mystical invisible dieties
7. A myriad of mystical invisible dieties have been posited by emphatically superstitious societies and have been proven to be products of overly active imaginations (today's religion is tomorrow's myth) and ignorance.
8. Believing in mystical invisible dieties seems to become quite absurd when those who posit the mystical invisible dieties begin explaining why and how they exist in the face of contradictory physical evidence.
9. As scientific knowledge increases, the role of the mystical invisible dieties oddly gets pushed further and further back.
10. Mystical invisible dieties are mystical invisible dieties (ie can never be found by empirical methods)
That should be enough to get you started.

The answer is we dont know. We are not sure if there is a creator, nor does the Big Bang theory suggest a creator.
By claiming we dont know gives us a chance to explore for evidence. An evidenceless claim doesnt.

Of course not! We all believe that some guy who we never met but read about and saw pictures of created everything. We submit our WHOLE life to someone who we only know from stories written by others. Being Atheist is great!!

Well coincidence or not, the evolution of this planet and my personal life is a blessing and I thank God, daily for the abundance and sheer love, joy and hope for the future each moment of each day.
I believe in Science and since we are made in his image, I strongly believe that is a sign that God has evolved as well. Can you just imagine that one? Wow, that's a glorious picture huh?

Something we may not currently know does not mean by default there is a God who himself came about by chance because no one created him.
