I have a question for Atheists?

Question

How did human form?
How did that one cell form?
How did dust form?
How did energy form?

The only answer you can't say is it just is.
Im not trying to offend anyone I just want to know your view point of creation.

Hint: It starts with a G and ends with an d!

God he did it!!

Someone had to create this. It is god. The Almighty God!!

Answer 1

The question I always like to ask the atheists is "What caused the big bang?"

Answer 2

OK, I'll try to answer the best I can based upon modern theories and science - here goes (posted in reverse order as it makes a bit more sense that way):

How did energy form? By this question, I assume you mean how the basic building blocks of the meta-verse (multi universes, if you will, which are theorized as existing in string theory) were formed. Since energy can be transformed into matter, and vice versa (that's what E=MC2 describes), either matter or energy could have been first, but the current theories state that energy was 1st, and matter was created from energy. Short answer - we don't know at this point. Math breaks down just after the big bang happened (working backwards), much less what happened before the big bang.

How did dust form?
By dust, I assume you mean matter, not regolith, which you are referring to. See the energy answer above.

How did that one cell form?
That one cell started from a chain of proteins combining together in that "primordial soup". There have been several experiments that show that given the makeup of primordial soup, plus energy (in the form of a lighting bolt), causes the molecules to rearrange themselves into a protein chain, which creates the basic blocks for cells.

How did human form?
Through billions of years of evolution from the cell to a present day mammal with our current cognitive abilities. I shall defer to Darwin on this one rather than type out the entire theory and history.

Answer 3

>How did human form?

We evolved from other organisms due to the processes of natural selection.

>How did that one cell form?

The idea of a 'first cell' is actually a flawed concept which, unfortunately, gives ignorant creationists a good tool against ignorant evolutionists. The fact is, life had already existed for some time before anything like a modern cell emerged. The very first life was probably extremely simple, more like modern prions than cells only in different structures that allowed them to feed off smaller molecules. Many scientists have recently been talking about the possibilities of the first life eating iron and sulfur compounds rather than primarily carbon compounds, while others have proposed an interesting 'metabolism first' idea that does not require particularly advanced molecules in order to work. Since such ancient life forms would almost never leave fossils that would allow us to understand their chemistry, maybe no one will ever know exactly how life on Earth began. But one way or another, the first molecules capable of reproducing themselves- the first life- was probably formed out of the complex but nonliving organic molecules present in the environment of the early Earth, possibly by electric sparks (lightning) or ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.

>How did dust form?

Dust is just a collective term for pretty much any collection of particles within a certain size range. Since dust usually only forms out of heavy elements, the first dust would have coalesced out of the atoms and molecules left over from the explosions of the Universe's first stars. The Universe was denser then than it is now, and the stars were very big, up to hundreds of times the mass of the Sun. These giant stars died within a few million years, and in the explosions they made while dying they fused together light elements (hydrogen and helium) into heavier elements (carbon, oxygen, silicon, etc). In the nebulas formed after these explosions, these heavy elements stuck together under gravitational and electrical attraction and formed the first dust particles.

>How did energy form?

All the matter and energy in the Universe came from an infinitely small, infinitely dense object known as the Monobloc. The Monobloc itself only existed for a very short period of time (probably not infinitesimal, but pretty close) before exploding in what is now called the Big Bang. Why the Monobloc exploded rather than holding together the way black holes do is not known, and may never be known, but one possibility scientists have been looking into is that it was caused by a collision between universes in higher-dimensional space.

>Hint: It starts with a G and ends with an d!

And we're supposed to believe this because...?

Answer 4

1. Go research biology and evolution, not theology
2. Go research biology and abiogenesis, not theology
3. What "dust" are you talking about? Do you even know?
4. Go research physics and cosmology, not theology

You're asking four questions (not one), each of which there have been hundreds of books and science journals written about. And you expect me to answer ALL of those questions, in layman's terms, in one little internet post?

The problem is not that the science can't answer things. It's that you, and countless other intellectually lazy people, are not willing to do the research, and fall back on the idea of "Well, an big invisible man must have done it". If you want to know science's "view point of creation" as you call it, you have to sit down and READ what science has to say. That means reading some BOOKS, longer than a 2-page magazine article, and stretching your vocabulary. But that sounds too much like work, doesn't it?

Oh and by the way, not everybody who accepts evolution and other sciences is an atheist.

>>The only answer you can't say is it just is.

No, because that's the cheap cop-out answer YOU people always say when anybody asks "Well who created God, then?"

Answer 5

How did human form? Study evolution.
How did that one cell form? Study Abiogenesis.
How did dust form? Study Geology
How did energy form? Study Physics

Honestly I could try and explain this all to you in an answer but it would be very long and I doubt you'd read it. You seem to think it's okay for you to say "God did it" but you don't get it that the "only answer you can't say" is exactly what you are saying. God did it is a cop out.

Answer 6

There are libraries full of books that explain this. And you want us to explain it to you in an answer on the internet?

As you are well aware, to make you understand such things is beyond the scope of this medium. However, even you should realize that "god did it" is a cop out. You are not thinking about, analyzing, or attempting to understand anything. You are simply providing an easy answer, with no basis in fact, and no evidence to support it.

I could do the same thing by saying that "The Bumblebee King did it". And sit back, self-satisfied that I had defeated your god-theory. But I dont' do that. I look for facts, and evidence.


But as long as you're trying to prove there's a god, here's one for you to ponder. Why won't god heal amputees, no matter how devout they are, or how much they pray? Why does god only cure people for which medical science has cures? Are his powers limited to the skill of our doctors?

Or is it perhaps that our doctors are the only people curing anything? And since we can't regrow amputated limbs yet, Christians know better than to pray for it? You see... your god doesn't exist. And this is proof positive of that.

Answer 7

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God

Answer 8

The "Creationist" answer to your questions is "God did it" which is just about exactly the same thing as saying "it just is". As to how did humans form, how did cells form, how did dust form, and how did energy form, give me the room for four encyclopedias and I will begin to tell you. Otherwise, you could just try reading a science book, or looking it up on the Internet - there are plenty of science sites.

Oh yeah - I'm not an atheist. Your question should be directed as scientists, not atheists. You are falsely assuming that atheists can't possibly answer your question, and you are incorrect, although I'm guessing that you don't really care about their answers - you are just trying to provoke them, and most of them are smart enough to ignore that.

Answer 9

I think "poonannygunka" wants to have sex with you.

Well, in answer to your questions, humans "formed" through evolutionary processes. The "one cell" - do you mean the first living cell to appear on the planet or something? I honestly have no idea - that hasn't appeared in my atheist newsletter yet. As for "dust" and "energy," that's simply too vague.

If you expect atheists to tell you the ultimate "how" and "why" of existence, good luck. But, as others have pointed out, "God did it" isn't an answer at all, but an evasion. Even accepting that "God did it," the next question is, obviously, "Who created God?" Remember, "Something never comes from nothing!"

Answer 10

"How did human form?"

As in the first human? Simple - from a very similar ancestral species. And no, I don't mean some ape gave birth to a human child... that's idiotic.

"How did that one cell form?"

The first cell? Who knows. It may have developed from a lipid bubble surrounding an RNA compound or it may have formed from an RNA compound that developed a lipid membrane to protect itself.

"How did dust form?"

Common dust is formed mostly from human skin and dust mite feces.

"How did energy form?"

It is not known.

I'll give you a hint though, atheists don't believe in God, why would they claim that he made these?

Answer 11

Faith in God is not a scienticfic explaination of creation, neither is the big bang. If your faith precludes you from accepting the truth, the truth will not be available to you. SO you ask what asthests believe but if you are not willing to understand and believe them, why bother asking?

What makes you doubt or accept your current beliefs? Do you read some lines from an ancient astrological reference guide(bible) and believe its true? If I told you water was not wet would you believe me? What if I wrote it two thousand years ago and said any one who says its wet should be punished by death?

See, the thing that atheists are strong about is they don't just accept what MEN tell us. We find out for ourselves, we seek out the truth, and we accept the harsh reality of truth. You point out one of the main athiest arguements of who created the creator. Debate will always be prudent, the mystery of nature is natural, but faith is an abortion of logic. God is not in a book. God is not in a Building. If you want to know the answers to your question, I encourage you to seek them out. But its so typical for the brainwashed religious masses to just demand an answer without the gall to pursue the knowledge themselve. Oh I know its easy to sit and let the pastor tell you how to live your life and what to believe. But this is not fantasy God world. This is the Reality of the Universe. So I instead have a question for you...

If God wants you to believe the bible, what made you ask this question?
