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

Question

Plz dont take this the wrong way, i really genuinely want to know your thoughts on this, thanks.

All what it is being said is the big bang, but who/what made the big bang, there doesnt seem to be a logical answer here, if you dont know then how can you say there is no God, obxiously something made the Universe, Sun, Planets, cant come out of no where. gosh. lol.

Answer 1

I gotta come back later and read this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Well you say 'Who?' as in to represent a person or 'human'... but to an atheist who believes scientific views, humans did not evolve until many millions of years after the universe existed, so could not possibly be responsible for the 'creation' of the sky, clouds etc.

There is the Big Bang theory, but an atheist generally accepts the idea that humans do not yet know everything or the certain truth of the beginning of time, however are adamant that a 'spiritual' being in the form of a human did not create the universe.

When you consider how many other species exist on the planet, why did 'God' so happen to take the form of a human? Religion represents an inspirational 'imaginative' (spiritual) teaching that upholds morals, that does many people in the world good, but is not solely based on proven scientific history.

Answer 3

The "sky" is an optical illusion caused by the scattering of sunlight through the atmosphere. If you ascend through the atmosphere, at no point will you encounter a "sky".

Clouds are accumulations of water vapor caused by evaporation and expansion of surface water through unevenly heated air. They are produced by local atmospheric conditions.

The universe as quite a big step from that. The current scientific theory says the universe expanded from an extremely dense, extremely energetic singularity. Everything we experience was once part of that point. We don't know how it came to be there, or whether such a question is meaningful, but there are several hypotheses about it. Atheists just don't believe a conscious super-being was required to make it happen. The universe seems to unfold pretty rationally without any help, so why posit a cartoonish instigator just because we haven't figured out the beginning yet?

Answer 4

You need to be careful of the ‘bucket’ you place atheists in. Not all so called atheists believe in the same things or the existence of objects in the universe, in the same way as theists don’t. Ask a Muslim your question, or a Hindu, or a Christian and you will get a different answer there too…although there may be a similarity in so much as a deity had some impression on universal creation.

Never the less, the question you ask goes the nub of theism, and raises a contrast with it towards atheism in so much as God’s existence and the role a god may have had in the creation of the world and Universe on/in which we live. The basis of your question relies on the proof that God exists. Existence and its proof is a separate point; never the less - if an atheist cannot acknowledge a creating deity then they cannot acknowledge intelligent design as without a creator there is no intelligence.

Given this point there are a number of theories and philosophies on creation (remembering that Christianity, as with other regions, at its base is a doctrine of philosophy in which a theory of creation is presented). Some of these theories require intelligent design (a creator) and others do not. So going back to your question of ‘who do you think’ the answer is nobody. Simple as that.

To be sure, the human psyche, looks for answers to our predicament (we are built this way, and it has proven to make us very successful as a species) and in so doing so our psyche tends to anthropomorphise (humanise) the abstract. In other words we have for millennia placed ourselves at the centre of the Universe, and with that concluded that to have ‘been placed’ in the centre there ‘must’ have been a ‘placer’. Scientifically we see this is at odds with theistic belief as we are not at the centre, and the universe did not start at one point but, depending on what theory you believe in, inflated on all vectors to the state it is in now. We could go on and say infinite varieties of universes were attempted by means of matter/energy mix and only the ones with the correct balance were ‘created’. So our universe may be one of billions, in contrast to the billions that were so unstable they never formed. This is a lot deeper than I think you are looking to go, but it does offer insight to a universe that may or not have been created. Blind faith is just that, blind. Keep the mind open and make informed decisions based on what you observe, believe and think.

Answer 5

Why you think it needed a creator?

I'm not a scientist so I can't explain the answer to you.
BUT just cos you or I don't know, why would you imagine that an invisible sky thing did it.
That’s exactly why the ‘god’ game was made up – cos gullible Bronze Age illiterates didn’t have any answers to anything.
They even thought that thunder was gods playing in the sky.
Can you think of anything more stupid?

There are people who have the answers to these questions of yours - you are not the first to pose that question although I'm sure you think you are.

Next you'll be asking WHY shït happens.
It just does, right?
There's no puppet master in the sky playing childish games and making 'bad' things happen to 'good' people.

Answer 6

The most likely cause I have found is the big bang. If you figure that the sun is 4.6 billion years old, that kind of puts a damper on it being created 6,000 years ago. So in short, not a who, but a what.
EDIT- If you think it is more logical to believe a perfect entity made the universe than the big bang, then there is nothing I can say to convince you. However, why do you bother asking the question if you do not want honest answers? ((Sips))

Answer 7

lol this is what I don't get either. Apparently it's easy to believe that the sky, clouds, universe and all beings just appeared from nothing, but it's SO difficult to believe that there is a creator which caused all of this.

Ok then apparently the big bang made all this happen, but before the big bang happened there was NOTHING. So something HAD to intervene otherwise how can you get all this from NOTHING! I believe in the big bang but I also believe that there was something that caused it to happen, and that was God.

Answer 8

Most atheists don't beleive there was a WHO involved. I call myself an atheist, but have beleifs as to what caused the big bang. I beleive that first, there was a thought. There was nothing, but since we could give it a name, nothing existed, therefore there was the first, primitive fact. This thought was intangible, like a fifth element. If a thought could exist, why not whole gads of things? Stars, planets, LIFE! Existance was, well, swept into existance! But at the thought of life, there was another intangible force at play. I call it Agent P, because all Philosiphers came to a conclusion somewhat like this. It was a non-sentient force that was the battery for sentientness. Like the electrictiy through the computer you type on, only more so. Life sprouted and thrived. All this was caused by thought, that was not thunk! It evolved into us, yet there still remains that force. Incredibly smaller, because it is stored inside us. But we can still bend it to our will. "Magic," we call it, but I despise the word. It implies that it is something special. But alas, tis only a pet peeve.

Answer 9

Universe started with the Big Bang, and a cingularity of infinite density violently expanded into the universe we know today.

The sky is just an illusion, what gives it it's bluish hue is the blue light spectrum hitting moisture particles thus breaking apart and scattering in the upper atmosphere.

Clouds are basically plumes of evaporated water, despite the cold they do not condense because of the low atmospheric pressure keeping the particles seperated due to the high altitude.

Answer 10

The big bang happened so long ago we'll probably never know why it happened. The sky is made up of gases, clouds are water vapour. On the whole, the universe is made up of emptiness.

Answer 11

Probably..no one..Possibly...Bob the Builder..But had I been the supreme being able to do absolutely anything I would probably have been able to forsee the problems which "freewill" would bring about so that I didnt need to keep teaching my little creatures such painful lessons. I would certainly not have included such atrocities as Cruxificion in my teaching methods. Why would I have created such a mess if I were able to create perfection just as easily..save for my own gratification that is?
