I posed the question about why atheist use science as a crutch when the very basis of their belief is contradictory? In one way or another I said, how can you believe in science if nothing in science evolves from nothing. How can you use science as a crutch if the very core of your belief is illogical...NOTHING in this entire universe evolves from nothing...so to use things such as evolution and any other means of proving why God doesn't exist is senseless. How can you believe in nothing, if nothing evolves from nothing?
Now I posed the same for infinite values, and as far as the leading scientists in this world, no infinite values exist either.
SO Please atheists, instead of avoiding the question by attacking me with your typical defense mechanisms answer the question, NOTHING MORE. Something tells me you'll whip out why DO YOU use religion as a crutch, haha typical. Please answer the question dont revert to your typical finger pointing.

1Cr 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Bro, no matter what we do, they will always deny...they fear once they are saved, they will have to part from their sin....so embracing "Evolution" and denying GOD is their game.

Science isn't a crutch. Its tangible. There are physical facts to prove things happend. I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean by a crutch... do you mean an excuse not to do something?... at any rate... My question to you is how can you base the foundation of your beliefs and lifestyle on a book... Most of modern day Bibles are versions of the King James Version... King James was ... scientifically proven... to be schizophrenic... No he didn't translate the Dead Sea Scrolls, But his scholars did. He could have told them to right anything... let your imagination go wild with that one...
You also said that Science evolved from nothing... What did God evolve from?... nothing... Its a confusing subject... According to the good ole Gospel God has always been and will always be... infinite I suppose... or so it seems... Is God not an Infinite value?

Evolutionary science makes no statement one way or the other about the existence of a deity. And nobody is claiming that anything in the universe evolved from nothing. You'll have to be more clear with your question if you want a clear answer. (I hope you will take the time for this, you seem to require an answer to something, I just can't decipher what that is)

I'm not going to whip out the "why do you use religion as a crutch?" I'm just going to point out that we DON'T think that the universe evolved from nothing.
Everything has always existed.
Then I'll point out that religion is the crutch that people use to fill in the gaps of their understanding.

To me, science offers a more valid explanation to why the universe is the way it is than the scriptures do. That's all it is for me.
It didn't necessarily come from nothing, nor did something necessarily have to have a creator. It could have been just created out of circumstance. Who knows. That's why it's all beliefs. I believe in what science has taught me.

Explain "nothing in science evolves from nothing" because right now that reads like nonsense.
Science makes testable predictions / models of the world. Science is self correcting. Science is useful (think of planes, buildings, MRI machines, Advil, Water Purification, etc; ).
Science is a tool / method that has been PROVEN over and over and over again to be very useful. Atheists, Agnostics and Theists all use Science (or something based on Science) every single day of their lives. And they should. You trying to make science out to be a bad thing is outright ridiculous.

Fine, but you must understand first that:
1) Atheism is not a belief, it is disbelief (ex. we take for a fact there is no god/gods).
2) That being true, it is impossible for us to "believe" in science, for again, it is not a believe system. It is exactly what we want. It requires evidence, actual proof to acknowledge something.
3) Evolution does not make something out of nothing, creationism do, that's why it does not make any sense.
Now my answer, no.

Science is a term that cover an enormous variety of subjects and disciplines. NONE of which are to be "believed in".
When you ask an intelligent question you might get an intelligent answer in reply.
Atheist. God is imaginary, science has nothing to do with it.

makes more sense than an entity who materialized out of no where pointing its supernatural finger and and creating everything out of nothing. Sounds like witchery to me!
Science never asks you to have faith in a study, it provides results and conclusions that can be proven and recreated.
have god recreate the parting of the red sea and I'll be convinced

I can't even follow most of that.
Science is a rational method to explore the Universe. That is all it is. It never once said that anything came from nothing. Only the religious make that claim when they say that is how God did it. I'm glad you agree it's silly.
