What if there was no evolution theory, how would the atheists find an escape path not to believe?

Question

Smart answers please...
Really how would you describe life and death and stuff...

Answer 1

I'll just pick from the wide selection of gods created by man. Thor seems pretty cool.

Answer 2

Well, the only way I see that the theory of evolution wouldn't come about is because we'd still be in the dark ages. If that were the case, even if I didn't believe in god still I'd have to keep it to myself or I'd be killed/tortured.

But baring that in mind, evolution theory doesn't make me an atheist, the fact that I don't believe that gods exist does though. Just because I couldn't explain how life developed it wouldn't mean I'd resort to "Oh, some magical sky-being did it."

Answer 3

Dear Mr. Creationist (or whatever your handlers tell you to call it this week),

Another 30 board-feet of pasting the same arguments does not change the fact that they are still as wrong as when we debunked them all the first time.

You have absolutely zero ability to comprehend what you paste, and as such, when you come across the same argument already shredded here at a later date it appears brand new to you. It is a truly sad state, and you need to grasp that you only highlight your own mental deficiency by persisting with the cut and paste marathon.

Were you able, on even the simplest level, to grasp the concepts involved, you would recognize the repetitive nature of your posts. As it is, you do not even have that elementary comprehension of the topic at hand.

Sadly, this is how creationism works, they rely on the vehement and vociferous response of their most ignorant and uneducated of followers to speak for them. They pot up the article, fully knowing the lies, distortions, and misleading nature of them and wait for people like you to cry them from the mountaintops.

We know the creationist movement to be dishonest to it's core, because the articles they produce requires a pretty decent knowledge of astronomy, cosmology, geology, anthropology, and a variety of other sciences... yet it is deliberately twisted and distorted in to outright lies. And this is not the type of misunderstanding that comes from a bad grasp of the topic, it required in-depth lies and trickery to produce.

So climb that mountain again, Rainman, and tell us again how wrong we are.

Answer 4

If there was no theory of evolution, it would not mean life does not evolve. Further, it would not prove creation by God. Calling it an "escape path" is just typical empty rhetoric. Naturalism is as valid as Theism in the absence of evidence.

Answer 5

Evolution does not describe life or death, nor does it have an opinion as to the existence of God.
Before you talk about something, you should at least make an attempt to know what it actually is.

Answer 6

I became an atheist at a very young age without even having heard of evolution theory yet. I just though about the probability of God existing then decided that not only was it very improbable it was actually logically impossible. I also decided that if he was alive he'd be a prick and I should try to either beat the living crap out of him or else hide in Hell.

Answer 7

Evolution has nothing to do with life and death. Just thought i'd inform you.

why do people associate evolution with the existence of god when they have very little relation to each other?

I don't believe in God, so even if evolution isn't true (which is highly higly highly unlikely), then i still stand by my beliefs.

Answer 8

Strange as it may seem, skeptical attitudes towards religion did not begin in 1860.

Not all Romans believed in Jupiter. Not all Egyptians believed in Ra.

Not having a viable alternate theory, doesn't mean I accept yours.

Humans come from other humans and I have no idea where the first human came from, or even if there was a first human. Who knows, maybe there were always humans, just like the Christians say there was always God.

When you die, you just disappear.

Answer 9

Well before Darwin there were less atheists compared to today,
If I was born then maybe I would be going to church with others!
Who knows?
But what made you think that I (an atheist) want to find an escape path?
I would believe in god if I'm provided with evidence now,

Answer 10

Don't do "what if" questions. That's my suggestion.

Atheists don't want to consider a possibility like this. Similarily, Christians don't want to consider life without God.

Without God, you're no better than an ant. In the end, you're life is worth as much as the ant's life. You live and you die. Whatever you do doesn't matter.

I find an eternity of not experiencing anything to be very unsettling. It doesn't seem right to me. However, that's what I believed for 18 years, that when you die, that's it. Now, I believe in God, I believe I will go to Heaven, and I have comfort in that. If I'm wrong, I'll never know, and if I'm right, I have something to look forward to.
