I Don't Understand Atheism
I do :D, the world sucks. There's disease, terroists etc. Some people are bound to question our "loving" God.

It's about truth. Atheism isn't something you choose; it's simply the logical conclusion drawn after studying the (lack of) evidence.
Chance is not scientific... It certainly can't create life. But it could with your faith..
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.

He would rather believe in hobgoblins or tooth fairies it seems.. The all power god of chance...

He once stated.. "By the powers of chance I command that these stones produce life.." :roll:

And in the shallow words of Algernon Charles Swinburne, "Glory to man in the highest!/ For man is the master of things."

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. ;)

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. :ewink:
