Why do so many people inhere not believe in god. Don't say evolution cause that is not part of science.?

Question

There is only one observable type of evolution and that is micro... variations within the kind. The rest of it they hope happened. But it's never been observed... It can't be tested or recreated. I'd say you have more of a faith in that, which technically makes it a religion. So lets see christians believe we came from god. atheists believe we came from a rock that was rained on for millions of years. In all these questions here i typically see atheist mentioning there intelligence. Well i ask where's the intelligence in that.

Thats interesting how so many people had input so quickly. Let me break it down a little more. O and the comment about macro evolution being observed in fossils... No i'm sorry. So any way explain scientifically
1- the big bang (origin of time space matter) from nothing.
2- Chemical evolution- the origin of matter from hydrogen
3- Stellar & planetary- how did the stars form planets.
4- organic evolution- life from non living material,( origin of life)
5-Macro evolution- origins of major kinds.
6-micro evolution- variations in the kind.
I will agree that micro evolution is backed up scientifically. none of the rest are.

Answer 1

No one hopes it happened that way. Right now that's the best explanation that fits all the evidence. Just saying a supreme being did it by fiat is not a better explanation.

This is the old argument of jumping to conclusions. Just because we don't have absolute proof of every conceivable thing it does not follow that a supreme alien did it instead.

Supreme beings doing anything is not an explanation because there's no reason to think there are any supreme beings. Anecdotes and ancient stories don't prove anything. You have to have solid, repeatable proof. You don't even have a hypothesis for god. It's nonsense to us modern humans. It might've made sense to masses of prehistoric humans who believed anything people told them out of abject ignorance and fear. But to me, it's mysticism pure and simple, blank-minded, immoral, self-destructive, hateful, threatening, violent mysticism.

Answer 2

1: Evolution has nothing to do with God. It says nothing whatsoever about God.
2: Evolution has been observed--in the lab and in the field. Anyone who has told you otherwise is LYING.
3: The ToE is not a religion, it is a scientific theory. Not a guess. Not a suspicion. In science, a theory is as good as it gets. Anyone who tells you otherwise knows nothing of science.
4: Atheists do not believe that life came from a rock that was rained on for millions of years. If you dare to learn, the field of chemestry called abiogenesis goes into detail on the subject of the formation of life.
5: There is intelligence in asking questions, demanding evidence, and testing the response. There is no intelligence at all involved in "faith".

Edit to add:
Plainly you haven't even bothered to read what your critics have posted.

1- "The Big Bang" did not come from "nothing". It came from a singualrity.
2- There is no such thing as "chemecal evolution". The heavier elements were formed in the earliest stars of the universe.
3- Stars did not form planets. Gravity formed the planets around the stars.
4- Abiogenesis has nothing to do with evolution. Pick up a book and study the field of chemestry.
5- "Macro-evolution" is a fiction made up by creationists. Speciation has been observed directly in the lab and in the field.
6- "Micro-evolution" is also a creationist made-up designation. Why do you consider it so impossible that many "micro-changes" could add up to a "macro-change"? Once again, there is more than adequate evidence for such changes to base an entire field of science on it...biology.

Answer 3

Why must Creationists persist in the various lies about evolution?

1) Micro-evolution and macro-evolution are the study of evolution at small and large scales, respectively. There is no mechanistic distinction, so they are one and the same.
2) Evolution has been tested across disparate organisms. Predictions regarding their genetic relatedness based on their anatomic relatedness have been confirmed in experiments.
3) Reproducibility in science requires that experiments be repeatable, not nature be reproduced. We don not have to assemble a star or planet to study them.
4) Science does not require faith.
5) Religion is not defined by faith alone.
6) Atheists do not believe life "came from a rock that was rained on for millions of years".

If your belief in God is reflected in your six lies in such a short passage, atheism is the honest and intelligent choice. For the atheists sake, I hope you keep promoting religion. You are an example that is good for atheism.

Answer 4

for all those non-believers there is plenty of evidence supporting creation. Roman records say that they did crucify a man named Jesus for saying he was the messiah and that he was crucified next to two other men. There is geological proof that the flood happened. There is also evidence that this might have made rocks seem 'older' when dated using scientists dating system. Another mystery is why are all petrified stumps sitting the right way up, if they were petrified during the flood it is perfectly plausible. Some non-believers may say that trees take hundreds of years to petrify, not 40 days and 40 nights, but on one occasion a tree was petrified instantly when it was struck by an electrical wire, although it is unusual it would not be impossible for lightning to strike at least 100 trees in 40 days and 40 nights. After all, in some places you can get over 4000 lightning strikes a night.

Also the fact that humans are all so close in DNA mach up is explained with Adam and Eve. There is heeps of other evidence if you look around, just keep your ears open.

why the thumbs down- a serious answer

any way another thing to add, the big bang theory has been studied by mathematicians and they put together a model and came to a conclusion...The Big Bang theory only works if there is another universe, older than our previous universe and our previous universe is built on the remnants of that one.

I wonder where that universe came from, atime machine from the end of this one???

A seriouse question although english would be a better language to post you query in, its what most of us understand. also another great point has been raised by other posts, try researching your topic a bit first before answering.

As well as that evolution fits in with the bible, God may have used evolution as a tool to let his creation survive through all sorts of catastrophies, such as an ice age (wich is explained in one of the first four books of the bible) global warming.

And, besides some other misleading comments on the sightanimal breeders can not proove evolution, although it does probobly exist, the pup of two different species to try and gain a better one is sterile, it can't reproduce.

P.S. this is fun...reminds me of when I used to do debating. Rebuttle rebutle rebutle.

P.S. I know I already have a P.S. but I have another piont which is unrelated to the last...Any spelling mistakes are not my fault, either the answer is to long or the spell checker is stuffed because it is taking forevr and ever and ever...=D

Answer 5

Wow - how uneducated and ignorant you sound!!! You totally ignore all the science that does exist about evolution.

Simple animal breeders can demonstrate evolution in a matter of months or years!!!

The Pope recognized evolution last year but said final proof may not be possible because it took place over such a vast time scale.

Of course your question also shows that you must think God was too inept to be able to use evolution as his tool!

Sadly what you have demonstrated yet again is that most Christians on here have such weak faith that they seek to denigrate science and non believers. You denigrate and abuse people just because they do not believe as you do.

That is why you are so scared of atheists - your faith is so weak you are scared you may be wrong!!!!!!

Atheists are far more moral, inclusive and upright citizens!!!

Answer 6

Actually, the results of what you might call "macro" evolution are substantial. They're called fossils. You may want to read about them.
Unfortunately, you have a rather rough understanding of what science is and what constitutes a reasonable claim and what does not. The intelligence we cite is that which is testable, and fossils do test evolution (since evolution predicts that intermediate forms should exist). When fossils are found that have both prior reptilian characteristics, but also newly developed feathers, we can reasonably infer that such a specimen may be a precursor to modern birds. With sufficient supporting evidence, of which there is enough to fill books, it is quite reasonable to state that evolution has occurred.

I think with a few more years serious study you might actually be prepared for better science questions.

Answer 7

I don't know... the idea of invisible sky deities just doesn't seem plausible to me.

Evolution is part of science. You sure type well for a sperm, my little bigot. Survival of the fittest has never been observed? Change over time can't be tested or recreated? You theists scare me sometimes.

You have to have more faith to believe in scientific principles than an invisible deity zapping us into existence? Try again.

You know atheists don't believe we came from a rock. Silly, Silly.

I KNOW! WE'LL JUST SAY THAT SOME OF US EVOLVED (ATHEISTS) AND OTHERS DIDN'T (YOU).

Answer 8

You are arguing from a flawed premise - you appear to know little about evolution, including whether it's even relevant to your "question". It's not. Evolution works on living organisms - it has nothing to do with the origins of life.

I don't believe in God because there is no evidence to support his existence. However there are other non-paranormal explanations for everything attributed to God, and these explanations can be supported by evidence.

Answer 9

Did you know that on a technicality you are ranting?

Anyhow, I don't believe in a god simply because it is the right choice for me. I don't try citing stuff about evolution, and those that do will not say we came from rocks...

Also, atheists are not the only group that doesn't believe in a god, christian or otherwise...

I would be much quicker to assume that Quetzalcoatl exists than your Christian deity. There's the exact same amount of evidence (none), and his name is much more fun to say. Also, he doesn't go with the facade of being all loving and then torturing people. No, he says he's mad and doesn't love everybody and you'll just have to deal with it. At least Quetzalcoatl is honest.
