Re: I Don't Understand Atheism
Discussing abiogenesis, the supposed naturalistic appearance of life from non-life, in Climbing Mount Improbable, Richard Dawkins said, 'Nobody knows how it happened but, somehow, without violating the laws of physics and chemistry, a molecule arose that just happened to have the property of self-copying — a replicator.' Faith? Sure. Rational faith? I seriously doubt it. It is a blend of wishful thinking and faith. Dawkins needs it to be true; notice that he makes this non-empirical assumption with ease, as though it were a mere side issue. The truth is that the claim holds not an ounce of scientific weight behind it and it is simply a claim made in an effort to prop up his atheistic account of origins.Gman wrote:Chance is not scientific... It certainly can't create life. But it could with your faith..RollingStone wrote:It's about truth. Atheism isn't something you choose; it's simply the logical conclusion drawn after studying the (lack of) evidence.Gman wrote:Well I don't understand atheism either or why someone would want to go that route.. Nor do I wish to..

The heart cannot rejoice in what the mind rejects as false - Galileo
We learn from history that we do not learn from history - Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. -Philippians 4:8

Re: I Don't Understand Atheism
Where in the Bible does it say that the world shouldn't have those things. There is a whole section of the Bible that tells why the world is imperfect. It's part of a book of the Bible that goes by the name of Genesis. You should really look in to it.Imperial wrote:I do , the world sucks.

Re: I Don't Understand Atheism
Thats not enough for athiests, they want answers and they are prepared to be rather rigid and not give in. Some people are more flexible though.
Trust me, I'm the doctor.
