Really? Then please describe to us the means by which [he] created the universe.God is not magic.
So God is a "he", you say? Where are the females? How does his kind reproduce?He is a real powerful spirit person who decided to create a universe full of life and to which he dedicated a lot of love when he made it.
I have never heard of an atheist who believed something like this; are you sure you aren't misunderstanding them?An atheist believes that things that exist came out of nothing in a miraculous way, obeying some natural laws that emerged out of nowhere, by themselves.
It is getting tiresome.I have never heard of an atheist who believed something like this; are you sure you aren't misunderstanding them?

You know, you are actually very wrong in your interpretation.It seems contradictory, but if you see it from this perspective you will understand:
A believer considers miracles to be the result of a display of knowledge and power on the part of a conscious person.
An atheist believes that things that exist came out of nothing in a miraculous way, obeying some natural laws that emerged out of nowhere, by themselves.
So who is the one who believes in miracles?
So according to you, the OP as well as the title of this thread is a big joke not meant to be taken seriously?Eli G said:

Poe’s Law is named after Nathan Poe, an agnostic user on the message board Christian Forums who posted in 2005: “POES LAW: Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is uttrerly [sic] impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone wont mistake for the genuine article.” In a thread debating creationism, Poe wrote this in response to a comment: “Good thing you included the winky. Otherwise people might think you are serious.”
i wouldn't call it a big joke as it has ceased to be funny, rather an example of someone who is not here to converse pleasantly, but rather thinks that by playing the fool and presenting strawman arguments, they will score points. Generally juvenile and reflects badly on their position and their philosophy.So according to you, the OP as well as the title of this thread is a big joke not meant to be taken seriously?
The Bible is not a science book, but it expresses higher knowledge that was commonly unknown in ancient times, such as the water cycle and the fact that the planet is suspended in the cosmos without physical support.
The summary from the first article:Cosmology is based on evidence, observation and extrapolation from those facts. God dun it not so much.
Take a look at...

We?!?!? You are one than needs more than just glasses to see. Clinging to your ancient tribal worldview limits what you are willing to see.Hopefully, we'll see.
That does not prevent the mad monkeys from invading your thoughts.I just took a nap and ignored everyone while I did it. I was a closed system.
I do not ignore your posts, or your belief in God. I do object to you intentional ignorance of science, and clinging to an ancient tribal view of our existence without science,God is not magic.
He is a real powerful spirit person who decided to create a universe full of life and to which he dedicated a lot of love when he made it. We have an existence with purpose, starting from a Father who gave us life.
That is not magic, nor a miracle, because the power and knowledge of the Creator exceeds our limited human understanding. He could, and so he did.
Good evening to all readers...even those who I ignore.
The Bible and Jesus words within it speaks of the end times. We can see religion coming to the fore in obvious ways now. Yes, I hope I live long enough to see as we approach the end. How about you?We?!?!? You are one than needs more than just glasses to see. Clinging to your ancient tribal worldview limits what you are willing to see.
Could be I left you out of the we. No insult intended. But maybe we, in the sense of collectively, will see -- I hope so. I hope I live long enough, but even if I do not, I look forward to, hope for, and believe that I will be resurrected. What's your thoughts or hope about the future?We?!?!?

Not really the subject of the thread, which is do atheist believe in miracles.The Bible and Jesus words within it speaks of the end times. We can see religion coming to the fore in obvious ways now. Yes, I hope I live long enough to see as we approach the end. How about you?
I do not share your beliefs. I consider your beliefs as well as the thousands of diverse conflicting religions and their divisions from the fallible human perspective for all the 300,000 years+ of human history.Could be I left you out of the we.

I disagree with your assessment. As for the rest of it, eat, drink, and be merry, ok? Because never know when what scientists think about destruction of mankind by mankind will happen, right? You can find that at the Doomsday Clock website.I do not share your beliefs.

You reject science, which to me is irrational intentional ignorance.
What about the Bahai religion? Do you consider those beliefs as well as the thousands of diverse conflicting religions and their divisions from the fallible human perspective for all the 300,000 years+ of human history as you say above?I do not share your beliefs.

This atheists does not believe, not even remotely, that the things that exist came out of nothing in a miraculous way. Or any other way.It seems contradictory, but if you see it from this perspective you will understand:
A believer considers miracles to be the result of a display of knowledge and power on the part of a conscious person.
An atheist believes that things that exist came out of nothing in a miraculous way, obeying some natural laws that emerged out of nowhere, by themselves.
So who is the one who believes in miracles?
