Technically that would be chemistry and physics (along with some other sciences like cosmology) it is straw manning and not atheism. Of course, it reminds me of this:

The steps are entirely random… or not.
But generally atheists believe in this…
Lmao, that is great. I am sure there is more to Atheism than I could ever realize, but that made me laugh regardless.
Thanks for checking out my blog, Dave. I dig your blog!

“But generally atheists believe in this…”
Really?
Well, I guess then generally Christians believe that slavery is okay and you should stone disobedient children, since it says so in the bible…
Oh, wait, am I making a straw man argument? My bad…
That is like saying that all atheists are against racism and believe that “everyone is exactly the same!”.
Well, no they aren’t. The technical term is straw manning- for starters, I don’t believe it was magic or that “nothing happened to nothing”- I honestly have no clue how the universe began. Which is why we build giant particle accelerators.
As it is, the universe is 14 billion years old, so a LOT of unlikely stuff can (and has) happened without violating any physical laws or requiring design.
@Simple Sapien – thanks too!
@AnimalAndy – Your inability to understand ‘context vs content’ is showing.
This is what tends to happen when people use generalizations to make what they feel are profound statements. Perhaps if either side would explain their positions with rationale and substance rather than taking pot shots at the other side, some real progress could be made.
Granted, atheism leaves a certain amount of unanswered questions, but does that mean we should just answer every question with “God did it” to make things easier? The problem with the religious is that they also have a habit of standing in the way of any kind of progress that isn’t congruent with ‘The Bible’, academics for instance have been burned at the stake for first suggesting that the earth revolves around the sun. The reason? Fear. The Church have long been afraid, we’re just getting too smart. It’s not easy indoctrinating the masses with out-of-date rhetoric. C’mon guys, where does it end?Leprechaurns? Pixies? We’re better than that now.
I am a christian, because I was brainwashed at a very early age. I can see why people are atheists, but don’t people down because they believe in something. However I am totally against the church and all its power, the older I get I guess my feelings will change about death, but for now I am happy I am alive.
You’re a little off. There was a singularity, an infinitly small point with an infinite mass, they’re in the center of black holes (we say this because we can’t measure it but its a really high number) and it didn’t explode it stretched. Also abiogenises was a chemical reaction that created a very simplistic life form (we know its possible because it was created in a lab) and eveolution is not magic or random its powered through mutations (seen them, genetic drift, and natural selection (not survival of the fittest). Also thats not even athiesm its science but nice try. I didn’t post this to be a jerk by the way i posted this because some people here seemed to think thats what athiest beleive.
ok.in conclusion:
Atheism = Epic Fail
I love the use of the word ‘Magically’ twice. Atheists – If they believe in anything at all its probably not magic!
Religion:
There was nothing but then something called god came and created everything from nothing by magic, makes total sence. Cant explain it? Just say god did it.
Haha, the atheists who take this seriously are even stupider than I thought. Getting too smart? Nothing in the bible has been disproved. Ever. 14 billion years? What used carbon dating for that too?
So being religious means you use the same 3 words to explain everything.
God did it.
Science does not explain everything it is all theory till proven whereas religion explains well… nothing.
This, on its surface, seems like a good argument for the existence of God. However, if one is to say that everything needs a creator and cannot arise naturally, then how does one explain God’s existence? Surely God must not have a creator and thus “magically” appeared from nothing. The point is, something obviously did arise naturally, whether the thing is question is God or the universe; God’s own existence makes him unnecessary in that something could have been created from nothing. One can not make a princi
This, on its surface, seems like a good argument for the existence of God. However, if one is to say that everything needs a creator and cannot arise naturally, then how does one explain God’s existence? Surely God must not have a creator and thus God “magically” appeared from nothing. The point is, something obviously did arise naturally without a creator, whether the thing is question is God or the universe; God’s own existence makes him unnecessary in that something could have been created from nothing. One can not make a principled argument if one claims that God is the exception to the rule used to prove him. One might say that God is not material, has no energy or matter, that God is infinite rather than finate, that God resides outside of the universe (which begs the question of who created this other universe God lives in), in essence that god has no entropy. If one is to say this then one is to say that God does not exist because this fits the definition of of nonexistence. Furthermore, we can observe that complexity cannot arise in a complex state but rather must originate in simplicity and become more complex over time, be it life (humans did not magically appear but rather evolved from a line that can be traced back to organic compounds), a solar system and its planets (we know the solar system was once a disorderly disk of gas and particles, look up te nebular hypothesis), or the universe (the big bang; the universe began as the most simple state possible, a singularity). Thus, the concept of God is in contradiction with certain basic premises of reality in that God is generally accepted to not have been created and then must always have been as complex as God was when he created the universe, and God must be at least as complex as the universe in order to create it; God has always been enormously complex and did not evolve from simplicity, and this is considered to be impossible by all serious inquiries. This view (that it is impossible for God to exist because he has always existed in a complex or ordered state) is also supported by basic fundementals of physics and math. The laws of thermodynamics suggest that the statistical probability of the universe being created from from a state of even lower entropy (the more complex and ordered something is, the lower the entropy, thus, God is a state of lower entropy) compared to a state or higher entropy is infinitely lower. We can not definitively demonstrate that God does not exist beyond a reasonable doubt, however the (abridged) evidence above should demonstrate that there is clear and conving evidence suggesting the concept of God is either improbable or impossible.
I’m an atheist, and I have no idea how the universe started. Saying that “god did it” just pushes the question back to, “Who made god?” The exact same things said in the image can be said for religions as well; don’t think you’re immune just because you slap a god onto everything you don’t know. And please stop using this straw man, it’s extremely annoying.
Oh yeah and a space god living in the clouds playing big brother to the universe while carefully monitoring every single person every moment of everyday is completely reasonable. Atheists believe that there is no possible way you can know what happens when you die….until you die. You religious nuts guarantee you know the answers, at least us atheists admit we don’t. Read a book and you’ll realize the Earth is a lot more than just 5,000 years old (like the bible says) or that dinosaurs and man never existed at the same time. Creationism=Lies and Faith=Believing something with absolutely no proof. Rather religulous if you ask me.
This is pretty much completely untrue. Atheism is confined purely to the belief that there is no God. Atheism in and of itself does not claim to know how the universe started. Although nothing coming from nothing in my mind is better than some invisible being that kills the entire human race whenever they piss him off.
Yeah and the belief that a magical invisible man in the sky created it all is so much more credible.
Nothing of what happened was “magic”. It’s sad to see such brainwashing among Christendom and other religion as a general. Why don’t you read a little bit more on the evolutionary theory and the Big Bang Theory. Most theologists and theists have an infinitesimally small grasp of science. Or many, practice pseudo-science (Kent Hovind, etc.) Have you opened your Bible? The Old Testament repeatedly condones many atrocities–http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/donald_morgan/atrocity.html. And I presume that you don’t have a degree in science, yet you think you’re smarter than the likes of Dawkins, Hitchens, Hawkings, and the rest of the menagerie, even though they’ve dedicated their entire lives to the field? Grow up.
Idiotic religious people providing a definition of atheism:
The belief that people who know nothing and studied nothing in school and learn nothing magically think they know everything and then type on their keyboards for no reason what so ever making comments that turn out to be true and profound.
Makes perfect sense.
Maybe if you had an IQ over 100, studied biology, chemistry and physics and had a logical brain: you would see that the universe works fine on its own, and doesn’t need an invisible space god telling you not to eat pork and to go to church otherwise you spend an infinite amount of time in a magic prison.
Assuming you refer to Big bang and evolution of universe, please note it is not a belief handed over to us by some cave dwelling, murderous illiterates. we arrived at this knowledge by painstaking observation and evaluation, not by declaring faith in it, but by airing doubts at every single step. It is a journey that has taken us some 13.5 billion years in to the past. A small improvement upon 6004 years!
Every step leading to the conclusion is made open to contest by the the very people who arrived at the conclusion. sounds strange to you? it should!
stoning? Jesus said “he with no sin cast the first stone”
that means nobody.
if theres something in the old testament your referring to it would be wise to know the difference & read things in context. maybe a little history lesson is in order. bro.
Well I was starting to not believe in God. and I don’t know. I am gay man and I just want to become a girl. I do not need to get into every detail about that part. But I know that I would have been happier. Even as a tranny I know I could be happier. And if I do it. I know that I would be happy. I wouldn’t regret it. I wouldn’t be sorry. And for that I will go to hell. If I do live the way I think my God will want me to live. Basically. I will live a lonely miserable life, with no partner, because I will of course not be able to get a boyfriend or husband. And I won’t ever live the way I want and I will forever live stuck like this until I die. So I’m screwed. I sorta came to the conclusion that probably our God is real, but because of him I will have to forever be living the old miserable life that Sucks so much. ohh yes. Praise be to God!!!!!!
I must be an atheist because i do not believe in god . I only believe in what we are living now . No one has ever lived the past so no one will ever know how the world was created or if jesus really existed or if the devil is real & all this other stuff . People who are religious always try to convince me a god exists . I simply tell all of them the same thing “Can you prove god exist ? Does god give you food ? dress you? ” If god supposely “Heals” like they say then why cant amputees be healed ? The thing that makes me laugh the most is when christians say “Cursing is bad” Like what? Curses were words that were made by humans. Used to offend other humans. My name is christian but im not christian . As an atheist people who are christians are brainwashed and poisoned to me . Believing in something they never saw , believing in something that never helped him/her . God is simply an illusion. People are plain stupid and just want something to believe in
im not atheist or anything i jet dnt believe nothing cuz my brains a black hole
@Christian Ortiz So, you are telling me that since no one was around when Lincoln or even Washington was in office, then we can’t know if they existed? Cause that’s pretty much what you said. We have their works and writings and their lives are recorded in history books, which is the same for Jesus(God).
Can I prove God exists? -Yes, without God, there is no such thing as good or evil. We would be completely mindless without any feeling whatsoever, actually we wouldn’t even exist. To have this universe, science has found that there has to be an intelligent creator. Please take a few moments to actually study these things YOURSELF before you go asking the questions.
Does God give me food? -Why yes he does. On the third day(some believe this was all in 24 hour periods, but that is questionable for that time period), God had separated the waters which created dry land, also he started vegetation, he planted all kinds of seed bearing plants which would bring both flowers and fruits and vegetables. On the 6th day he created land animals(cattle and so on to even include dinosaurs) and mankind, in the documentation of Noah and the Arc God had commanded him to build, God specified which animals were for food for Noah and his family, and which animals were sacrificial. So yes, God has ALREADY given me food, and you too.
Does God dress me? -Yes, infact he has already given me clothing. After Adam and Eve had eaten from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they had seen their bodies and realized nothing was covering them, so they said they were naked and used leaves to cover themselves, then they heard God coming and they hid, he asked why they were hiding(he asks only to build a relationship of love and trust with them, he already knows what is going on, but we are not created with infinite knowledge so we don’t always know what is right or wrong) and Adam had said that they were naked, so God gave them clothes made from animal skins and fur, and we still do the same thing today.
For God healing, here is the best way I can say it: God heals spiritually and, when it is needed in his will, physically. I find it funny that you say amputees cannot be healed, when they heal up pretty darn good. I know one, he is one of my best friends and he is a Christian, so try again bud.
Why is cursing bad when it is just made up words? Simple, they’re offensive and hurtful, forgive me for saying this but DERR!
Ephesians 4:29 tells us, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” 1 Peter 3:10 declares, “For, Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.” James 3:9-12 summarizes the issue, “With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.”
Why is it a sin to cuss/swear/curse? We should only allow good and positive things to come out of our mouths – things that will encourage other people (Ephesians 4:29). It is not right for praising and cursing to come out of the same mouth (James 3:9-12).
I’m an Ex-Atheist, I have realized that God is no delusion, but the Atheistic belief is because it can all be destroyed just as I did here. God has helped me in my life, and you cannot physically see him, but your soul knows when it has seen him, this is a concept you don’t understand because you wont allow yourself to believe you have a soul and you wont feel for it.
I don’t just want something to believe in, I just know it’s truth. If I wasn’t presented with all the facts that I have, if I haven’t done any studying(which you haven’t studied a single dang thing of the Lord), If I hadn’t experienced God’s love/power/grace, then I too would be saying “screw God and all those Christians who believe in that crap”
I used to be that way, till I actually studied.
One last point, the only God who has been attacked for hundreds upon hundreds of years by Atheists… has been the Christian God.
Ephesians 6:10-20 actually tells of this event which is happening right now, the spiritual warfare. Satan uses his followers and the “Godless”(Atheists/Agnostics) against the Christians and followers of God.
“10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming missiles of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, 19 and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
