If you believe in no god you cannot use the golden rule or what mans opinion is because see what Hitler did he took it to the next level and said what was right and killed over 6 million people.

Where did the world come from?
The Earth formed as part of the birth of the Solar System: what eventually became the solar system initially existed as a large, rotating cloud of dust, rocks, and gas. It was composed of hydrogen and helium produced in the Big Bang, as well as heavier elements ejected by supernovas. Then, as one theory suggests, about 4.6 billion years ago a nearby star was destroyed in a supernova and the explosion sent a shock wave through the solar nebula, causing it to gain angular momentum. As the cloud began to accelerate its rotation, gravity and inertia flattened it into a protoplanetary disk oriented perpendicularly to its axis of rotation. Most of the mass concentrated in the middle and began to heat up, but small perturbations due to collisions and the angular momentum of other large debris created the means by which protoplanets began to form. The infall of material, increase in rotational speed and the crush of gravity created an enormous amount of kinetic heat at the center. Its inability to transfer that energy away through any other process at a rate capable of relieving the build-up resulted in the disk's center heating up. Ultimately, nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium began, and eventually, after contraction, a T Tauri star, ignited to create the Sun. Meanwhile, as gravity caused matter to condense around the previously perturbed objects outside of the new sun's gravity grasp, dust particles and the rest of the protoplanetary disk began separating into rings. Successively larger fragments collided with one another and became larger objects, ultimately destined to become protoplanets. These included one collection approximately 150 million kilometers from the center: Earth. The solar wind of the newly formed T Tauri star cleared out most of the material in the disk that had not already condensed into larger bodies.

Biological utilitarianism. As we developed the ability to understand cause and effect, we used that to form societal rules to maximize happiness.
What do you say to the drawings of dinoauars on cliffs?
Forgeries or poor interpretations of images.
Where did matter come from?
From energy, E does equal mc^2 after all.
Why are some planets spinning a different direction?
The "backwards" planets and moons are in no way contrary to the nebular hypothesis. Part of the hypothesis is that the nebula of gas and dust would accrete into planetessimals. Catastrophic collisions between these would be part of planet building. Such collisions and other natural processes can account for the retrograde planets and moons.
The only moons that orbit retrograde are small asteroid-sized distant satellites of giant planets such as Jupiter and Saturn, plus Triton (Neptune's large moon) and Charon (Pluto's satellite). The small retrograde satellites of Jupiter and Saturn were probably asteroids captured by the giant planets long after formation of the solar system. It is actually easier to be captured into a retrograde orbit. The Neptune system also contains one moon, Nereid, with a highly eccentric orbit. It appears that some sort of violent capture event may have taken place. The Pluto-Charon system is orbiting approximately "on its side," technically retrograde, with tidally locked rotation. As these are small bodies in the outer solar system, and binaries are likely to have been formed through collisions or gravitational capture, this does not violate the nebular hypothesis.
Uranus is rotating more or less perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic. This may be the result of an off-center collision between two protoplanets during formation. Venus is rotating retrograde but extremely slowly, with its axis almost exactly perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. The rotation of this planet may well have started out prograde, but solar and planetary tides acting on its dense atmosphere have been shown to be a likely cause of the present state of affairs. It is probably not a coincidence that at every inferior conjunction, Venus turns the same side toward Earth, as Earth is the planet that contributes most to tidal forces on Venus.
Orbital motions account for 99.9% of the angular momentum of the solar system. A real evidential problem would be presented if some of the planets orbited the sun in the opposite direction to others, or in very different planes. However, all the planets orbit in the same direction, confirming the nebular hypothesis, and nearly in the same plane. A further confirmation comes from the composition of the giant planets, which are similar to the sun's composition of hydrogen and helium. Giant planets could hold on to all of their light elements, but small planets like Earth and Mars could not.
Why do you believe in evolution?
Vestigial organs, fossil record, genetics, observations.

Where did the other worlds come from?
The Golden Rule.
Where did the drawings of the cookie monster come from? Someone must have seen one!
Matter is just another form of NRG
Wouldn't having them spin in the same direction support your mythology better? Anyway, a gravity captured asteroid or planet(oid) will rotate any which way.
Define "lots" of heat! Average observed Temp of the universe is less than 5 degrees Kelvin.
What's the alternative to evolution? Believing that some goofy looking guy in a white robe says "let it be" and it's there? Why would such a person look like that? Why would he do that? And why would he care about a small blue marble? And if that is all he cares about, why create so much extraneous stuff in the universe? What's all that stuff about?

Supposedly from the BB, then another 'nearby' galaxy exploding (for what reason?) and pushing ours into a new direction, adding enough energy and heat to produce molten rocks that cooled down into planets, meteors, etc. That's how I understood the argument. I think it's a bit, ehhh though. Without a catalyst that can channel the energy, nothing is created by large amounts of energy only destroyed. Ex. nuclear bombs, they destroy everything and all it is is energy. Why isn't anything forming from that small amount of energy, when a lot more would create a galaxy and planets? Sorry if don't understand science well enough to figure it out for myself, please help me someone, someone who is smart.
A highly controversial and debateable topic. Almost every civilization has pictures of dinosaurs/dragons. I think that might hint at the existance, because there haven't been many other mythological creatures that are globally invented. Sphinxes, pixies, trolls, etc.
It is a problem that we have no answer for, because you cannot create or destory energy or matter, only shift it from one type to another. Also, e=mc^2 is energy=mass x speed of light squared, meaning light has to be squared the speed it is now, and in order to create the matter which you say was made by energy is illogical. What is the mass of nothing? 0. So you can't take nothing to make energy, you have to start out with something. I don't even know that much about physics but I can figure out that simple mathematical flaw.
They were all spinning the same direction at first, but everything is crashing into each other, not destroying anything, just changing the momentum of the spinning.
No clue, I'll admit it.
I don't believe in evolution, even with all of the compelling evidence I just have my doubts. Guess I don't have enough intelligence to thoughtfully interpret all of the knowledge out there so I depend on faith like a fool.

Wow, you came back from beyond the seventh wave and sure have a lot to learn about the modern world.
The process of accretion formed the Earth (and other planets). Morality existed long before modern religions, so I assume we developed them in accordance to our need to empathize with others who consist of our particular in-group. What drawings of dinosaurs? Matter came from energy, as shown by the formula E=MC^2. Accretion of matter can occur clockwise or counterclockwise. Some moons of Saturn have internal processes that are generating heat. Evolution has quite a bit of evidence that I find compelling and adequate to accept it as an explanation for how species have developed.

I don't know, but that doesn't mean god did it.
We have a moral system that humans have developed throughout history and are still developing. (not a static code directly from god)
I have never heard of dinosaur drawings on cliffs. (link?)

I see a lot of evidence for evolution, so yes, I believe it at this point. (however, if new evidence arises and shows that it is false, I will change my mind.)
Why do you think we have to know every detail about the universe not to believe in your god? Do you believe in faries? If not, how do you explain Einstein vs. Newton? See how silly that argument is?
