Why are Atheist so quick to believe scientist and their 'theories' rather than God and His way of life????

Question

I guess you guys would rather worship 'humans' than the creator of the universe. It so hard for you to believe in God which you do not understand...but if a scientist told you that love is the molecule mixed with that molecular organism mixed with ac X 98773939 to the tenth power you would wipe the sweat off you foreheads with relief...right.
and please no pink unicorn sarcasm..that's getting old...

And no i'm not attacking you guys, and i respect you all, just want to understand your opinions.

Answer 1

"I guess you guys would rather worship 'humans'..."

Didn't take you long to screw that up, did it?

I'm not attacking you, and I respect you, but I guess you'd rather forget for the umpteenth time that you put an "s" at the end of a word to make it plural, and you'd rather pout about your childish "God" fantasies than grow up and act like an adult. I'm just trying to understand your opinion, you know. Oh, and please no "God is real" nonsense - that's getting REALLY old.

Answer 2

For me, there are many flaws with religion. 1 often times it is used as an excuse to persecute others. 2 the way that so many Christians act outside of church and when they go to a social function they are doing the exact opposite of what is religious. 3 Say a mass murderer has killed like 20 people and while he is in prison he finds god right before the electric chair. Does he go to heaven? A well mannered man or woman goes through life never breaking the law, always trying to help others and is killed by that mass murderer but he did not believe in god. Does he not go to heaven and the murderer still get saved? 4. What about those who believe in Allah, or Buddah or another god? Are they all out of luck? I mean we are talking about a major percentage of the world's population. Is god that cruel thst he would deny those that do not call him Chrst?

All this said, I do believe in a mixture of God and evolution. I believe in the big bang theory and evolution but what caused us to be sentient beings? Was it just unimaginably good luck? I think no, God was the one behind the scenes directing the whole thing. YOu can put all the ingrediaents of a person and mix them together as best you can but that does not yield anything but a mess. There is something missing, some spark of life given to us by our creator that no matter how hard we try we cannot replicate. Cloning still requires already live cells from another. Therefore both atheists and christians are correct but they are hung up on the details. Many people find it incredibly hard to believe without seeing.

Answer 4

Atheism and Science are different subjects in the first place. Atheist don't believe in god. That's it! Scientists are looking for the truth. They use the scientific method to find answers to questions that can be observed, studied, and predicted. God is a subject that cannot be physically observed. God can only be found through faith, where science is looking for truths in the natural world. Scientists can be atheist or religious. Some scientist like Einstein believed science is the study of god's work. Why we believe scientist quickly is they have used their observations and knowledge to prove or disprove their hypothesis. Then they publish these findings in a peer reviewed journal, where other scientist can prove or disprove their hypothesis. This whole process is used to enhance our (humanity's) knowledge base.

Answer 5

Well, if a scientist told me that love is the molecule........, he would publish in a peer reviewed journal, other scientists would reproduce his work, the findings we be confirmed, and I would accept that there is a chemical basis for love. I myself am not necessarily an atheist, I have a very big problem with not the moral philosophy of Christianity but with the fact that unlike peer reviewed and verifiable science, there are no alternative confirmational sources for most of what is presented in the bible, in fact conventiol science, conventional observations disputes many of the statements made in the bible. Why I am not a Christian--there is no credible evidence from alternative sourcing to indicate that book is more special than any other.

Answer 6

I don't think you'd see much difference between my life and the lives of most Christians, except that I don't go to church and don't feel guilty about not going.

I don't trust any individual theory nearly as much as I trust the scientific method of inquiry. Any hypothesis, and all of the data that lead the scientist to his or her conclusion, are open to scrutiny by the rest of the scientific community. The process means bad or unfounded ideas won't hold up.

When I was a churchgoer, any questions I had about theology (and many of them are similar to questions I've seen other atheists pose here), were met with silence, sadness, or hostility. I don't understand why asking questions about faith is a bad thing, unless the person being asked doesn't have an answer with evidence to back it up.

Answer 7

I trust science over faith because science is replicable. Science is constantly checking and testing. A scientist who claims to have discovered something amazing will be taken to task for his/her claim. If nobody can replicate what that scientist is claiming, then we don't accept it. Scientists have have all kinds of theories that have ended up being debunked.

Believing in God is completely different- there's no way to test and retest and verify the existence of a deity. Why should I put faith in your God over, say, Vishnu? Over Isis? Over any number of other deities? For that matter, why should I believe that any particular deity exists, and not some deity that nobody else has come up with, yet?

It's not that atheists or agnostics *would rather* "worship" humans- it's that some people prefer evidence and verifiable results before putting faith in something. If there were hard, verifiable evidence for the existence of a particular deity, you'd find that a lot of atheists and agnostics would hop on board.

Answer 8

Do you have any idea what the scientific process is?

All scientific discoveries are repeated, documented, reviewed by peer scientists who repeat the experiments and try to pick holes in the theory.

A scientific theory is the best explanation that we have for all the known facts. Scientific theories would have been called laws in past times when people were more arrogant. For example Einstein's theories are more accurate than Newton's laws.

Modern science has huge amounts of evidence to support it.

Religions do not, and have much evidence that proves them wrong. I'm sorry if you do not like that, but that is the fact of the situation.

Answer 9

What you said is not true. The difference is that we know that the scientific findings by the scientist, if they are true, can be duplicated in the laboratory by other scientists. Can I duplicate them myself? No. However, something does not become accepted as science in the scientific community unless it has been tested and confirmed by many different scientists. You saying that God told you what to do is totally subjective and we have nothing to go by other than your word.

Secondly, you say that we want to worship humans. That is not true. We do not worship anyone or anything. Worship is a totally unnatural act and serves no purpose. We love nature and are happy to be alive. We love are fellow human beings and want them to do well.

Answer 10

Yeah, I can feel the "respect". And thank you. I now finally understand what Heidegger meant by "angst"! Apparently we are all supposed to feel guilty for being aware of our own existence? So we're supposed to blubber endless gratitude to an invisible "creator" for allowing us to live? Wouldn't it be more efficatious to lift the burden of a fellow creature instead?

When a scientist says something, he'd better have something to show that explains why he says it, or he'll get academically torn apart. When a religionist says something, he just has to point to "scripture" and no questions are asked. Which model best demonstrates the "put up or shut up" school of verification?

Answer 11

When was the last time you looked to see who/what is responsible for so much strife in the world beside humans? The answer is: God or belief systems built around God (assuming there is one). It seems to me that all the Christians place their faith in an uncaring father who has deserted his children in their deepest time of need. It's a sad thing to see that so many buy into the CONCEPT of God...I understand and respect the choice made, but can't accept the belief system, sorry.

FYI, science is provable...theories become proven and stand as FACT...In CONCEPT/THEORY there's a God...It's yet to be proven that this "loving father" exists. Yet you'll insist that he/she/it does regardless of the strife he/she/it is allowing. I truly believe that if all the religious folks would step back from that belief system and analyze it they'd realize their faith would be better served if it were placed in their fellow humans. PEACE!
