[QUOTE="Mrmedia01"]Most everything had to be created by a creator.

 

The only one that could have done and started all this would be a GOD of some kind.

 

Its FACT no denying that, Pure science, cant go far enough to explain who created the seed of this universe. Someone did.... Who? GOD DID MOFOS 100%, a higher power did.

You don't believe in the Bible or Religion thats fine, but we had to have some sort of Creator to plant the seed to the start of this.GrayF0X786

So what created God?

Convenient. Everything has to be created, so that proves God, but God doesn't have to have been created.

You've said that before, but I have been unable to find a single source from the Vatican to support that. And unless there's been some fundamental shift in Catholic doctrine it seems to go completely contrary to the church's teachings.

Excuses. Atheism doesn't teach you to do good the way that religion does. So i think people turn to it as an excuse to live life without moral restrictions.

I always thought that if you need religion to justify being a good person, you're not a good person lol.  At least, not genuinely.

And religion is not the only way to learn morality, just the most warped and biased.

People are getting smarter, more logical while retaining moral values (I don't believe the world is losing its morals from lack of religion). Really though, we're just developing and maybe back then, religious thought made sense because we didn't know any better and today, we still don't know any better. I bet in a thousand years, they're going to laugh at us for being so primitive.

Good luck proving or disproving god to someone on GS. With that said I for one welcome our new atheist overlords.ShadowJax04

It's an easy choice to go on belief similiar to how cavemen worshipped fire back in the day, way I see it.. It will always go in circles because we will always have  unexplainable miracles and in this day and age where we know fire is not a deity we will always have a mix of 'believers' and critics. In the end this reason also why atheists might be on the rise. The rise of more easily accessable information than ever. 

Magic is just science that isn't yet understood.

I think because religion in general has never looked more out of touch with reality. 

Humanity is getting smarter

I never became an atheist because atheism is the default position.
It's religion that's being learned.

I will stay atheist until there's evidence for the existence of a god.
Doing it differently would be illogical.

somehow, I doubt this

Because we generally live lives where we have access to most necessaties and do a good enough job of preventing diseases from going rampant so not everyone is dying left and right. So a lot of people dont feel the need for religion. Id say religion is more promonant in areas where people have really **** lives and don't know how they are going to live through the week, so its comforting to think that there is a next life so that when they die they get to live another better life. 

People in wealthy areas believe that too because they don't want to cope with death. Thats the major reason for religion is because we don't want to accept the fact that its possible that there is nothing after death, and that there is no real fairness during life, and that bad people go unpunished and the good don't get rewarded

I don't know where you live, but here in western Europe, and in my case The Netherlands, the majority of people is atheist.
If you'd want to supposedly be 'cool' by kicking against the norm here, you'd have to be hardcore christian.

But thinking atheism is a trend is ridiculous, since it's the default position.
Everyone is born atheist until you've been taught a religion.

I have a serious question - whenever you post, as you start typing, do you ask yourself "how can I sound as idiotic as possible"?

thats the least of your problems

[QUOTE="worlock77"]I have a serious question - whenever you post, as you start typing, do you ask yourself "how can I sound as idiotic as possible"?SNIPER4321

No, I'm calling you idiotic because you come across as idiotic in your posting. On pretty much every topic, no matter the subject. Though, in the interest of honesty and frankness I've never met that denied evolution who wasn't an idiot.

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="SNIPER4321"] so u are callling me idiotic because i have different believe? u mean everyone is idiot who dont believe in evolution and is not athiest??SNIPER4321

If by "creationists" you mean the particular breed of folks who put forth ideas like Jesus rode dinosaurs, the Earth is only 6,000 years old, who run crap like the Creation Museum in Kentucky, or think that the modern banana disproves evolution? Yes. If by "creationists" you simply mean theists, no.

Poe's Law is really ripping me a new one ITT.

No he doesn't. I had to look the dude up. He has no background, no degree, no education in science. He's a failed architect turned religious propagandist. He's also a conspiracy theorist, so I can see why you love him.

I'd say that singlehandedly disproving evolution qualifies as a background in science.
