Atheism the same as Harry Potter, or is it religion?

Question

Religious say "Well, God created us out dust"

Atheists say "we were not created by God, everything began with the big bang. It hit the earth and life began from abiotic organisms."

Religious say "Well, it makes more sense than God exist, than the rumor that a rock came from nowhere, was pushed by nothing, hit something, and "boom" life began."

Atheists say "hahaha, that doe snot make sense at all."

Why do we call sense? because you statement make "more" sense and mine make less sense, then your statement is true?

Evolution and Creationism are based and thing we did not see. I have yet to see a transitioning fossil. I have yet to see that dinosaur with one wing. Or that fish with one leg. Were transitioning species inmortal or what?

Answer 1

You're generalizing. And what the heck is the bit about one wing or one leg. I think these fake attempts at presenting Evolution and Creationism as though they're equivalent are some of the funniest I see here.

Accept the century of evidence for evolution or not I couldn't care less. But the single best piece of evidence in it's favor is that it's critics, like you, have to lie to make their argument. "fish with one leg" You guys crack me up no end.

Answer 2

atheism is the lack of belief in gods.

Not all atheists believe in the big bang and I my atheism is not based on whether the big bang happened or not. However there is more evidence for the big bang than for your god. Oh and evolution is a proven theory.

Well saying theres a big sky daddy who created the entire universe to stick a bunch of people on one tiny planet to worship it and even though there are billions upon billions of people the sky daddy created each and every one and knows everything there is to know about them doesn't make much sense.

There is evidence for evolution though. Bear in mind that literally thousands of scientists all over the world for quite a few decades have worked in the field of evolutionary biology. Do you really think it's likely that none has pointed out it's all bullsh!t if it were. They'd get a nobel prize for. I sometimes get the impression that some folks like you imagine it was Darwin and that was it, people investigate, test, uncover evidence for evolution all the time. The theory adapts as new information is found but the basics remain the same.

There is no evidence for creationism and most of the people who advocate aren't even involved in biology.

Your increduality over evolution does not make it any less true and it's far more complicated than you seem to imagine and you certainly don't even seem to have a basic grasp if you imagine that evolution even implies there'd be one legged fish roaming about.

Answer 3

actually atheism is a religion Buddhists for example believe that there are no Gods. Evolution actually has a very extensive fossil record despite what some people spread around. Inyet I do doubt if there is any evidence supporting Creationism. Some people in Christianity tie in evolution with their religion, saying that God created the big bang. Like when it says in the bible that nothing was created out of nothing or something to that extend. Anyways evolution is damn near scientific fact.

Answer 4

Your level of ignorance is striking.

The big bang and evolution have nothing. Absolutely
nothing in common. There's no link whatsoever be-
tween the two. No rock came from anywhere other
than your imagination. And the big bang has nothing
to do with any kind of rock anyway. There're tons of
transitional forms. A transitional form is NOT a half
complete form. It's an intermediate form.

Sinosauropteryx prima is an early intermediate from
dinosaur to bird. The patagopteryx is a rather late
transitional form. Chickens for example still have
the ability to grow (rather sharp) teeth under certain
conditions.

Answer 5

OK. If you are serious then you haven't the foggiest clue about what the "Big Bang" was, and you understand even less about evolution or the theory of evolution.
I suggest, if you really are a Christian, that you study both of these theories very seriously over the next few years so that when you mention them you don't seem foolish.

Here is one of the best sites to introduce evolution. It is very clear and uses simple language.
http://evolution.berkeley.edu/
It was designed to help teachers understand evolution theory well enough to teach it. It is a university credited page.

I don't have anything really good to offer on "Big Bang" but NASA has some pretty good material on it.
And of course there is always wikipedia.

Answer 6

There are plenty of transitional species, however what you're looking for is Kirk Cameron's "crociduck" which does not exist and shows a lack of interest in studying evolution. Accepting evolution is not really saying "this makes the most sense" as it is saying "this has a mountain of evidence to support it and this doesn't".

Answer 7

While Darwin predicted that the fossil record would show numerous transitional fossils, even a century and a half later, all we have are a handful of disputable examples.

Are we the ones with blind faith? Where you there when something popped into existence from nothing and exploded? No, well do you see something pop into existence from nothing today? Were you there when non-living matter gave rise to life? No, well do you see non-living matter giving rise to life today? Where you there when single-celled organisms gave rise to many-celled organisms, when invertebrates gave rise to vertebrates, when ape-like creatures gave rise to man? No, well do you see it happening today? Sounds like faith to me. You have to believe that matter came into existence by itself and then arranged itself into information systems by blind chance—that is what goes against real science.

As Dr. Jonathan Sarfati says, we need to quit calling evolution a theory (that is giving it too much credit). “Goo to you” evolution is an unsubstantiated hypothesis or conjecture, not a theory.

So why do so many people believe in evolution? It’s simple, most people believe what they want to believe and they don’t want there to be a God. You see, if God created us, then He also owns us. If He owns us, then He has a right to set the rules by which we must live. If He has set the rules by which we must live, then we are accountable to Him. They don’t want to be accountable to God; they don’t want to be controlled. And so, it is their desire to explain the origin of everything without a Creator at all costs; they must believe in evolution. Evolutionism then, is intrinsically an atheistic religion—the religion of secular humanism.

Answer 8

"Evolution and Creationism are based and thing we did not see. I have yet to see a transitioning fossil. I have yet to see that dinosaur with one wing. Or that fish with one leg. Were transitioning species inmortal or what?"

Your missing a big distinction...

Atheist/Evolutionists/Skeptics argue that the fact Creationism is NOT testable and therefore not disproveable makes it an invalid argument.

Theists/Creationists argue that the fact it cannot be disproven is it's strength.

IT doesn't matter if you can see it, what matters is evidence.

Answer 9

Neither. Atheism is simply the realization and acknowledgement that in the absence of any evidence of god's existance, god does not exist.
Evolution is a branch of Science that explains alot of biology and really has nothing to do with Atheism. Many scientists are atheists. To say atheism is a religion or that it is evolution theory is like saying because many Ministers drive Cadillacs, GM is therefore a religion. Does that make any sense to you?

Answer 10

If evolution is not real as we know it now, then it's slightly different. End of story. Of course we compare the theory of evolution with the hypothesis of creation, since we think evolution is true and you believe creation is true, and we are having a debate. Of course we will compare the probabilities. And creation is not possible, not in the way people seem to understand it. Everything around proves it wrong
