    Why do some Atheist's think creation is impossible? Aren't Atheist's created by their parents like everyone else? Are Atheist's mad at their parents for creating them?

          Oh, I misunderstood!LOL Sorry.
          My thoughts. Theist and athiest alike arrive at their conclusions based on what they believe to be true. As with any belief there are allways external factors. In some cases the Theist himself is the greatest external factor that contributes to the atheist belief system. Athiest of these sort tend to be the angry ones. The angy athiest is frustrated by what he sees as a pious, hypocryte who preaches love and hate all in the same breath. This athiest is very sensitive to these buzz words like "Creation", "SIN", etc. These words will often solicit an angry/negative response from the atheist. The theist response is often one with an attitude of "holier than thow" which only keeps the argument going.....

                You can prove an electron exists very easily with science.
                You cannot see or prove a god for a simple reason. God is a lie in a book full of hate and lies. smile
                Not a sign of proof.

        That did seem like a silly question let me expand on it.  I was raised in a Catholic home I revolted against this at an early age.  I would not define myself as atheist but I do not follow any organized religion.  In my case it was the fact that I had too many questions that could not be answered by my mothers religion that caused me to stray from her faith.  I wonder if other people have had the same experiences with their parents religion?

    I don't think everyone is afraid to answer. I just think it gets so old to keep bringing up the same question so many times in so many ways. Yes my parents had sex and had me, just like dogs, cats and rats do.

    That is not creation as your referring too, that's simple biological workings of an organic thing. Fruit flies are great at it! I love my mom, my dad a different story.

        It's all in how your wording it. If you want to say that two living organisms that have sex and produce an offspring is actually creating one, then fine, it was creation.

        It's also nothing more than messy sperms penetrating an egg. Worms have both a male and female parts. Many microorganisms split themselves and form new ones, never having sex.

        If you want to say that was creation then fine, go right ahead. But we both know your talking about some magical being when you say creation, and that is just not the case.

        However if you agree that we can produce offspring and it has nothing to do with a god or higher being and want to call it creation then by all means do so. smile

          What created the microorganism that split themselves to create new micoorganism's? Are you assuming I am talking about a magical being? I don't think my parents are magical. I just proved you wrong on your assumption, haha. How can we create creation if we weren't created? Make sense to you?

            Bill Manningposted 14 years agoin reply to this

            See, this is why talks like this never end, because it just goes on and on with both seeing it their own way.

            By what you just said then, how can their be a god unless something created him/her? and if someone/thing did create god, who/what created that/it?? LOL.

            We all just come to our own basic conclusions of what life is about. Nobody knows the whole key to life and the world as we know it. So we each judge and decide for ourselves and hope it's the right one.

            I just base mine on what I see around me, what I studied and I'm happy with what I have arrived at. I'm glad your happy with what you have decided to believe. I'm not going to change you, and your not going to me.

              lol You are right, it is ongoing. I think it can drive a person insane trying to find the root of existence.

              Which takes more faith to believe? Faith in creation, faith in evolution, both, or neither?

              If you are already happy in the conclusions of your belief, are you not limiting your mind to possible new and more open belief?

      Mikel G Robertsposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      I have to side a little bit with Earnest here. While I don't believe God is what the 'cavemen' in the Bibles say God is, and as Earnest has stated the 'God' descriptions in the Bibles are very much of an angry, jealous, spiteful entity.
      The goal of getting people to do as they were told is very evident in the wording and descriptions of God in the bibles. The simple fact that the central concept of the Bibles is that of 'what must a person do to get to heaven? Obey .'

      Where Earnest and I differ is in that while I know that these descriptions are not true descriptions of the "pink unicorn" that I call God, Earnest has decided that if that is what God is then I(Earnest) don't believe that 'God' exists at all. I(Mikel) instead choose to believe that God exists, and that the descriptions of a hateful psychotic entity are just incorrect.

      The Bibles, written by cavemen, are not correct about everything. God isn't a take it or leave it ideal/entity.

          Knowing whether it is an order from God, or someones mistaken belief that it came from God...a whole 'nother story.

          I have Faith in God, less faith in humanity...So if it involves another human, it must be taken as possibly flawed.
