"When it boils down to it, atheists believe we came from a rock."?

Question

WTH?

Answer 1

and they think atheists are ignorant...

Answer 2

Wow. Someone took all of five seconds to come up with that one. Granted, some of the minerals in our bodies can also form rocks, but we are mostly water which is inherently not a rock. Add the various other biochemical compounds and you will find little rock material. So no, Atheists don't believe we come from rocks, but instead various biochemical compounds found in the pre-Cambrian seas mixed in the perfect proportions to become what we know as life. This life grew over a time frame compared to which the reign of man as supreme beast is the blink of an eye. How do I know? Research into various, testable, repeatable scientific theories.

It beats the hell out of thinking we came from a bearded old voyeur in the sky who will send you to hell with his abandoned son Satan to be tormented forever if you don't praise him for every little thing "he" does, and he claims all action from the beginning that resulted in a good outcome. Those players didn't win the Super Bowl with their talent and years of training, God chose to smile on them... You people make my brain hurt.

Answer 3

Whatever somebody might believe about anything is their own business. Atheists are not organized into a religion.
The only thing atheist means is not being a God believer.

The origin of life?
Maybe it was a rock. Who knows.
The point is that some people are still trying to figure that one out instead of just pointing to a magical invisible sky pixie as their final answer.

Answer 4

When we boil it down, you should go further back than that. We are made of elements.... atoms. Some rocks are made of some of these elements. There is only so much matter out there. It is not like we can have an atom of skull, and an atom of rock.

When you over simplify, you forget to think.

Answer 5

OK, I'm tired of this CRAP!

Everything is made of atoms. Atoms are made of massive energy, energy that has mass. All energy is a derivative of light, which also has mass. The most pure form of light energy has no mass, but it is also unmeasurable. Light forms the boundary between physical reality and whatever lies beyond.

We are all made of light/energy, moving at a speed just shy of light itself. That's why the human body GAINS 21 grams when it dies. Period. The end. Stop Arguing over this silliness. BUSH IS STILL IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

Answer 6

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree. -- Genesis 1:11

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. -- Genesis 1:24

Note: God lets "the earth bring forth" the plants and animals, rather than create them directly. Is that proof creationists have it all wrong?

H is mythology.

Answer 7

Try to streeetch your mind a bit now.....we are all (even the lemmings among us) a carbon based lifeform. You say it's a rock, I say it's part of what rocks are chemically composed of. So yes, we all are, in part , rock.

Answer 8

Oh never mind that... the Christians like to beat up on straw men to vent frustration from having no clue what they're talking about. Its nothing.

Answer 9

Yes, they do. For "millions of years" water rained down on the earth's surface which then eroded away and became a (to be short) "soup." In that "soup" was formed the first single celled organism, according to them.

Answer 10

Actually, from the stars. Try getting out to the library and doing some reading once in a while.

Answer 11

Whereas Fundamentalists Christians believe we came from dust of the earth--that is to say, pulverized rock.
