For you atheist,?

Question

How were you created? Where does the earth come from, if you believe their is no God?

Answer 1

im not an athiest but i know someone who is.

and all atheists believe in is there is no God because they don't believe what they can't see.

they believe in evolution and the big bang

Answer 2

Why do you assume everything was created? Things only need to be created if you assume time is a dimension rather than an abstract concept to describe the way things can only be in one state at one time. If at some point (this explanation is shaky- all human thought and language relies on the concept of time to have meaning) the universe existed without time, nothing would have been created, or destroyed, it would simply be- if at some point after this time came in (except it wouldn't be after, as after is a time based phrase), then you have room for the big bang theory, which explains how our universe was formed, and evolutionary theory, which explains how life showed up and developed (you can get details of these theories from far more informed people than myself).
It must be possible for things to happen outside of what we call time, otherwise, if there was a god, he'd need something to create himself.

Answer 3

I'm not Atheist, but i don't believe God created us the way the Bible says he did.

I mean i DO believe that he created us, it's just that humans didn't tell the story right.

Because if the Bible is true, then it would mean that Man was created first, then animals: which means humans were here before dinosaurs, which you and I both know is not true.

But the Bible also contradicts itself and says that Animals were created first, and on the same day so was Man, which is also not true. Humans appeared millions of years after the earth was created. Not on the same day.

First the Bible says Man was created first, then Animals. Then it says Animals first, then Man. God doesn't make mistakes, so that means it was the mistake of Man, which means God didn't write the Bible.

I may not believe everything the Bible says, but I also don't believe that we were created by some mysterious Big Bang. God created us, but that doesn't mean we have to know how he did it in order for us to have proof he exists. He has given us proof in many different ways, and we don't need some book telling us how to live our lives. If you really believe in the Lord, then you'll know in your heart how he wants you to live.

Answer 4

Ok .... tell me how was your god created if creation is a mandatory requirement?

About how I was created, well, Last I know, My dad had sex with my mom and I came first in the Monthly sperm swimming contest.

About how earth was form, read Professor Hawkin's "A Brief History of Time", I cannot possibility copy and paste the whole book here, it would be :

a. Against copyright laws.
b. too much to type. (Hey, it is not as easy as "Because god did it")

Answer 5

I was created when my mummy and daddy got very friendly one Sunday afternoon. I won't go into more detail than that.

The earth condensed from a disc of dust and gas that were the remnants of a supernova. The hydrogen collected in the centre forming a huge ball that started a fusion reaction becoming a star we call the Sun. Other parts of the disc accumulated into balls of rock and gas we call planets, moons, asteroids, comets, Kuiper Belt Objects and the Oort cloud. All this happened about 4.7billion years ago.

I see no need for gods in either my parents having sex or the accumulation of dust and gas after a supernova. The same things are going on all round us and we see them happening.

Answer 6

"How were you created?"

My parents created me. I'd rather not go into the obvious details >_>

"Where does the earth come from, if you believe their is no God?"

Space. The coalescion of debris and several billion years of development.

Answer 7

I think the better question is, where did your God come from? You say complex creatures such as us NEED a creator in order to exist, then how does something as powerful and complex as your God not need a creator to exist? Who's his creator?

And not only has pretty much everyone before me explained it already, but I'm sure you've taken biology and science classes, so you should already know about where babies come from and how planets form, and the theory of evolution (and yes it's a theory..just like the theory of relativity). Dunno why you're wasting points posting such a question on here when you should already know the answer.

Answer 8

You mean atheists? There's more than one of us you know. Also, there is spelled there when used in the context you are using.

We may not profess to know all the answers, unlike you Christians. Science holds the key to how Earth and all the other amazing things in our Universe.

No man with a white beard did it, that much I know. Another thing I know is there isn't some sky god up there watching everything we do down here ready to pull you into some "heaven" someday.

Answer 9

How was I created?
When two people love each other VERY much..... J/K

If you mean where did human beings come from, I personally beleive in the theory of Evolution. I know a lot of Xtians are saying "it's just a THEORY", but let me just remind you, so is gravity. And nearly anything else scientific.

As for the rest of your question, iunno ( pronounced Aye-Uh-No).

I also find it interesting that you're asking atheists a question after denying we exist.

Answer 10

I came from my parents which came from evolution which was created on earth which is created from space garbage which is created from big bang etc...

If god was here and created us, then he did a hell of a job forgetting africa and the deprived people there, those innocents kids dieing of hunger while first world countries kids are nothing but spoiled with their food.

Answer 11

150 years ago, we didn't know about bacteria. No clue. It wasn't understood until Louis Pasteur determined that germs caused disease.

You are asking the same questions that scientists ask. You have, however, asked this in the Religion & Spirituality section, where we are mostly humanities majors, not biologists or physicists. Would you come to R&S to find out what opus number was Mozart's 40th Symphony? I think not. You're asking us to play to our weakness. Quite frankly, you're being unfair.

So let me suggest two things:

1. If you are serious about wanting to know the current evidence-based understanding on the origins of the universe and on evolutionary theory, there are excellent descriptions found at http://www.talkorigins.org .

2. Consider that you are proposing (not so subtly) that anything that is not explained is a place for God to be discovered. This is commonly referred to in ontology as "the god of the gaps" theory. It typically assigns God to any blank space that science has not yet reached useful conclusions. Remember what I said about disease? Before bacteria were discovered, it was assumed God was punishing the ill, or that they were demon possessed, or some other supernatural phenomenon caused sickness. This is the same god of the gaps.

Science never assumes, and should never assume, anything is supernatural. The purpose of science is to discover through measured observation, testing, and repetition what natural causes lead to our natural world. If you impose a statement "God caused it," then this stops the search for knowledge, because God is ultimately unknowable. This is the reason that the "god of the gaps" theory is discounted among learned ontological academicians, and is ignored by science.
