Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

Wow, you learned something about evolution and even repeated it correctly. Cats cannot become dogs and all of our progeny will be human. :)
See it is not that painful to learn.
Excellent! And I've said that for a while now...:)

What are nattering about now? No one has bullied anyone here. Corrections are not "bullying".
I've found this thread enlightening and very, very entertaining.

The thing that I didn't find was much relating to the OP. Do atheists believe in miracles? I don't think they do in general, but I don't know. Never asked one.

And what would those miracles be if they do believe in any? Certainly not natural processes. Those are amazing, but not miraculous to my knowledge.

Another question -- based on your comment: what is it that your apparent understanding of koine Greek expresses the understanding of the future of religion?
Did you read the little blurb under his avatar? You know, yours says "Faith-confidence in what we hope for (Hebrews 11)"

Not to derail this entertaining though questionably enlightening thread. (I've been reading these too long.)
As an atheist, I lack belief in miracles and would probably say they don't exist except as examples of as yet unexplained phenomena.

Sorry for the derail. :(

Not a derail, glad you expressed yourself.

I don't think anyone will mind you derailing the entertainment to speak on the actual subject of this thread.

It is behavior that I see here that I find so enlightening. The contrast between exhibited behavior and what is claimed is enlightening. But I digress and don't want to derail your derailing that puts us back on the rails.

I appreciate your answer. I fits my understanding of a general view of atheist thoughts on miracles.

I looked it up. And I don't know if it's koine Greek, but it's apparently Greek. And from what I understand it means Christ is risen. So -- let's see -- :)

Koine Greek serves to understand the NT as best as possible.
It is the original writen language

I did not say that it has anything to do with religion.
The inscription under your avatar was pointed out to me by Subduction Zone. I looked it up and do you agree that it means "Christ is Risen?"

Yes, monkeys remain monkeys. And by cladistics humans are monkeys. Thank you for confirming evolution is a fact again.
Actually, that monkeys remain monkeys and humans remain humans is not "confirming evolution." Monkeys remain thus far as monkeys, and humans thus far stay as humans.

So far it seems that monkeys remain monkeys, finches remain finches, and the like. (Humans remain humans...)
Only if you look at the millions of years of evolution in short time spans, like thousands of years. You fail to look at the big biological picture due to believing false assertions.

My God has never failed, and his prophecies will not fail. That is my belief. What He promises will come true.
This sounds like a desperate person who is afraid of something. I am glad not to be religious and suffer this sort of inner turmoil.

Monkeys are a very broad range of species. Lemurs are not baboons. There are many branches in the monkey tree that spawed new species. And in the bigger primate family we humans are one of them. Homo sapiens evolved from Homo erectus in what is now Africa. Neanderthals evolved about 300,000 years before humans in what is now Europe. Humans that migrated into Europe mingled with neanderthals. That is why those with European ancestoey have a small percentage of neanderthal dna.
Monkeys remain thus far as monkeys, and humans thus far stay as humans.
Only if you make the mistake of assessing evolution in a small timeline. Evolution takes a long, long time. Yuo are defending fraud.

It is not 100 % accurate transliteration , but yes.

'Christos Anesti' can be translated accurate 100% only in Cyrillic alphabet.

It is because Cyrillic alphabet is derrived from Greek alphabet.

The same for 'Alithos Anesti'

So you say it basically means Christ is risen.

We are catarrhinnes otherwise known as old world monkeys. You would be better off actually learning about evolution rather than repeating ignorant "gotcha" questions.
