Re: What is the main reason so many do not believe in a Creator...and choose evolution?
Can it be said fairly that those who believe in evolution are "spiritual orphans"...with no Heavenly Father, and no hope for the future on this earth?
 Quoting: CelestialMaiden


Maybe it's because we're not as dumb to believe what people 5000 years ago thought about things in life.

They would hear thunder, not knowing what caused it, and think it was a god talking to them. FFS.

They would see lightning, and think it was Thor...

They thought it was gods hand when an air burst meteorite exploded and took out small cities like Sodam. Just because they didn't know about asteroids and meteors.

They made up gods for everything they didn't understand.

This is why I do not believe in any gods.

Rather than making assumptions and judging people you've never met, maybe you should actually go learn what the evidence is for evolution.

Have you ever tried that? Can you even tell me what evolution theory is?

Most scientists accept evolution because they will lose their jobs, funding and credibility if they dont.

Just like Flew when he abandoned his ideas.

I mean your attitude towards this topic already clearly reflects the credibility part of my argument.

It is just a matter of time for you to change your mind when a new and trendy consensus comes along.

My alternative theory is that either everything was created and yours is everything created itself.

The main difference is, when I point out lets say a feather and show you complexity, functionality and ingenuity, my explanation will start out with a mind/creator and yours will start out with 'nature/time/dont know/no creator' did it.

The main difference is that you know nothing about science. It starts with observation, then evidence is collected, then evidence is tested and this cycle repeats to the exaustion. Sometimes for many decades. When there is a sufficient body of evidence(overwhelming evidence) then it can maybe become a theory. What you want to do is, start with an observation, insert a baseless and evidenceless claim and expect that everyone accepts it because that's how you think science works. It is not.

Evidence. Simple as that.


All disciplines confirm evolution. Especially the genome project made this abundantly clear.


Now, you could maybe argue that God created evolution as a process to create, because he is way too busy to mold everything and everyone by hand, from clay, but surely he is more intelligent than that.

But again. No evidence for a God. None.

I'd say the main reason is what is known as "verifiable evidence", and easy access to information in the digital age.

Nope. There is NOT A SHRED of evidence for "intelligent design". The FACT is, evolution is real, not something to be believed in. Reasonable people don't "believe" in evolution, we simply understand it.

Your argument is a very well known one and is part of the process for becoming a reasonable person. Its called "personal incredulity".

Most scientists accept evolution because they will lose their jobs, funding and credibility if they dont.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77762685


Lol ok... So they're all just pretending? They don't really think the evidence supports evolution? You're delusional. You're pulling this claim straight out of your ass based on nothing.

As I thought, even though it's been explained to you over and over, you still don't know why scientists accept evolution. You don't have the attention span necessary to learn basic biology.

Just like Flew when he abandoned his ideas.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77762685


Flew didn't abandon evolution, retard. He was a deist, which means he didn't believe in your god. I've told you this multiple times, but it's like your brain is incapable of absorbing new information.

I mean your attitude towards this topic already clearly reflects the credibility part of my argument.

It is just a matter of time for you to change your mind when a new and trendy consensus comes along.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77762685


Another claim that you pulled out of your ass, based on nothing. Evolution theory has only grown stronger since it was created, and it's not going anywhere in our lifetimes.

My alternative theory is that either everything was created and yours is everything created itself.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77762685


You don't know what I believe, or what theory means, you dense fuck. Show me a test that demonstrates a snowflake is assembled by an intelligent creator.

The main difference is, when I point out lets say a feather and show you complexity, functionality and ingenuity, my explanation will start out with a mind/creator and yours will start out with 'nature/time/dont know/no creator' did it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77762685


Yeah, because nature and time are facts. Your religion is not. I try to explain the feather using evidence, you'll make ignorant assertions based on nothing at all. That's the real difference between us.
I'm describing complex biological processes, you're just asserting 'god done it.' That doesn't explain anything. Just like saying 'my parents made me' doesn't explain how reproduction actually works.

Again, you haven't retained anything about evolution, despite arguing about it constantly. You're too stupid to talk to. Stop wasting my time.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78292982



Flew stated that "the most impressive arguments for God’s existence are those that are supported by recent scientific discoveries" and that "the argument to Intelligent Design is enormously stronger than it was when I first met it". The argument of ID is that evidenced objects and physical concepts are either too simple or too complex to be simply natural, whichever of the two extremes one chooses to be the hallmark of design by an outside intelligence. He also answered in the affirmative to Habermas's question, "So of the major theistic arguments, such as the cosmological, teleological, moral, and ontological, the only really impressive ones that you take to be decisive are the scientific forms of teleology?". He supported the idea of an Aristotelian God with "the characteristics of power and also intelligence", stating that the evidence for it was stronger than ever before


But that's just a crazy old man in fear of death. You are the only source of wisdom here, we know.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77762685


Do you know what a deist is? Deists believe that god started the universe, but doesn't interact with it beyond that. Flew believed in evolution. So why do you keep bringing him up to support your Creationist position? Flew disagreed with you.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78292982


clappa

Yep. There are plenty of well-educated people, both god-fearing and atheist, that believe in evolution.

Yes, a fish tank is less complex... that means it has LESS potential configurations and possibilities.
Despite what you think, the presence of 'cosmological and biological factories' does mean that there are far greater possibilities that can emerge as a result of the interaction of matter and energy within the system.

Have you ever heard of the game of life? Here it is:


This very simple system is capable of spontaneously forming complex structures, capable of movement, and self replication. If such a basic system can produce these things, imagine what the universe can produce given billions of years.

"Again, so god created the universe and thats it, or also started the process of evolution, a bit like the opening scene of Prometheus?"

You're still not getting it. I'm not talking about aliens coming to Earth and seeding life, I'm talking about a God that created the universe itself. If God is all knowing, and created the laws of nature/physics, then it logically follows that he predetermined everything that would occur. Get it?
