To atheists, who do you think/believed made the sky, clouds, Universe?

Question

Im actually serious about your thoughts, i really want to know wat do you believe in, plz dont take it thr wrong way, i genuinely want to know your thoughts, thanks.

Answer 1

Nobody made them. They formed. Simple physics. No deities involved or even required.

Answer 2

I'm not going to write about clouds and the sky as people have already done a better job than I could.

You can't ask the question what happened before the big bang because time is a function of the universe. There was no time before the Big Bang because there was no Universe. As time is merely a function of the universe, similar to space, there is really no end or start to time, only that which we perceive. A particle 'knows' no difference between space or time and will happily travel in all directions as if they were the same. In that sense it simply is, all at once.

One theory states that we only notice the transition of time the way we do as it represents the increase of entropy which is more stable than whatever the inverse of entropy is, (untropy?).

Also true scientific atheists don't believe any of this 100% there is always room for improvement. The point of science is to try and prove yourself wrong, where as religion only tries to prove itself right (and it's opponents wrong).

Answer 3

The sky really is just the way the light scatters when it encounters particles that compose the atmosphere. So the sky is not really "made." The clouds are just billions and billions of condensed or crystallized water droplets that are suspended in the atmosphere. So, clouds really aren't "made" either, at least in the sense you are asking. As for the universe, I am assuming you are talking about all matter and energy. How that all came about is still a mystery, but we atheists keep the possibility open that as with the sky and the clouds, the universe wasn't really "made" either, at least in the sense you are asking.

Answer 4

If you really need to identify a person responsible for 'making the sky, clouds, universe, etc.' then look no further than the mirror. These things are the product of of a person's perceptions. We all have much the same sensory equipment (ears, eyes, noses, mouths and fingers) and we all make much the same of the information they provide.

The universe is a product of mind. Your own mind. That doesn't make you God.

The point is, you don't have to start trying to make sense of everything from that perspective. It's only one way of going about it. There are others every bit as worthwhile and valid.

Answer 5

Nobody made them. The stars and planets evolved naturally from collapsing dust and gas clouds, a process that we can observe in various parts of the universe at the present time and before you ask who made the dust and gas, I can just as easily ask who made God.

It really is not necessary to bring the existence of a deity into subjects like this. Just think logically for a moment. Believers always proclaim that God controls and is responsible for everything that happens.

If he is really guiding everything that happens we wouldn't be able to predict events with any certainty, but we can, and in the future we will be able to predict even more.

Forget God, he's just as defunct as Zeus, Thor, Ra and all the other pantheons of Gods from bygone days.

Answer 6

I would like to know who you think made god?

It's not really a reflective answer.
It's more or less the same questions some themselves when they look up at the stars and think, "This universe is beyond our present understanding, How did it all come about.
Some ancients come up with the story of a coiled serpent (Celtic), but the one that really caught on for simple minds was the one about Adam and Eve and 6 days work and one day rest.
Atheists tend to trust more science than fables.
Who made god, did he make himself, if he didn't what was there before him. If there are other planets are there Jews there so they can be the chosen people? Will it be alright to own slaves in galaxy AGP 4648 on planet GHT 1493 because it says it's alright in Leviticus and this is the word of the lord and he's omniscient and omnipotent and his word is the truth and eternal so, if, it was alright for the old Hebrews, (but not really tolerated anymore in these PC days, unless you're a fat old sheik with a phillipina "*****" slave chambermaid-whipping girl)
No, I don't know why the universe made god.
Lack of imagination I suppose.
Man makes god in his own image!
Proves what a ***** god is

Answer 7

No deities involved or required? simple physics? a long time? I'm sorry, but physics and common sense tell me that over a long time, nothing will form from nothing.

Atheistic account 1: "In the beginning there was nothing, then after a long while the nothing became gas and the gas moved together to form life etc."

Atheistic account 2: "In the beginning there was gas. And the gas which had been there forever for some reason one day moved together and everything was created."

Surely time and motion are variables that contradict both views. The gas appearing out of nowhere with no external stimuli doesn't work. Neither does the idea of gas that has been there forever suddenly moving together. Both mechanisms require an outside force. Time logically must have a beginning. without time there is no motion. Without change there is no time. How do these things work in an uncreated eternally existant universe? They can't, logically. I believe that God spoke it all into existence, and that it requires a lot of faith in the illogical pot-holed theories of man to believe otherwise. The only constant in the universe is I AM, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the creator of the universe and time.

Answer 8

Not an atheist, but the following article presents various sides of the story:

http://www.a2dvoices.com/realityCheck/commentary/darwin.html

As for the answer to what is God, if we are 4 dimensional creatures living in 4+ dimensional world we are dependent on instinct. If we cannot sense everything, we cannot know anything for certain. Believe is a search (not just a slogan) for truth and that search may occasionally cause us to run upon new discoveries. Are these discoveries the true path or just dead-ends in God's maze? We are not capable of knowing which explanations are diversions. We just do our best as humans.

On the other hand, if you ask why we believe, the answers may vary. Some may not be willing to admit they do not know something due to personal insecurities. Some conclude that the earth is just too well engineered to be created by anything less than God (most comforting approach for me). Some just believe what they are told. We all have our ways. The bottom line is that our survival depends on such hope and we should not worry if our senses and instincts allow us to understand God correctly. We have purpose.

Answer 9

I think you posted in the wrong category but here goes.
The sky is an illusion. You are seeing light rays bouncing off the particles in the air. If the sky was a solid object we could not send things to outer space without hitting it.
Clouds are formed by water clinging to particles in the air.
The universe, well, I don't quite know what I think but the Big Bang Theory has been around for sometime now.

Answer 10

You are asking three questions here.

When you ask, "WHO", made this planet and the clouds, that was a process of evolution. No one made it.

"WHO" made the sky, that is a process of light only observable from the surface of planet earth, a physicist can give you a proper answer to that. Again no one made it, it evolved.

"WHO" made the UNIVERSE? If we are to believe Astro-Physicists, our universe is a product of the collision of two other "Universes", as part of a Multiverse. Again a process of evolution.

The BIG question after that is, "WHO", or, "WHAT", made the Multiverse? That we have to leave in the capable hands of God for lack of a better explanation.

Answer 11

Listen, don’t give up on God totally because of the above answers. Yes, all those things are natural processes, and can be put down to pure physics, but the physics we learn on Earth works throughout the universe – heat, light, gravity, freezing, melting, boiling, nuclear processes, etc etc. So, there are universal laws and those things you mentioned obey those laws.

But who set the rules?

I am not a religious person in any strong sense, but nobody, but nobody can discount a creator – even if he was just the one that set of the “Big Bang”. Nobody knows why the universe seemingly exploded out of a single point 15 billion years ago. Nobody really knows why electricity works. Nobody understands what is a simple thing like light. Nobody knows what is gravity. Nobody really knows how atoms are held together – which means we really don’t know how the basic fabric of the universe really works, down at the sub-atomic level.

Until we understand all these things, and I mean beyond being able to measure and/or use them, nobody can dismiss a hand behind it all. And when we know it all, we might find that we have found God, by the long route.
