I believe those scientific mechanisms exist with the help of a creating intelligent designer with a plan.
Thank you!
When the hell does The Theory of Evolution become atheistic?
It becomes atheistic in certain perceptions....and many are insisting that there was no intelligent creative force assisting the process
I don't think evolution theory ever becomes atheist. It doesn't support either atheism or theism. Some might believe it does, but it's only a process. We know so much, but also so very little, since we are end products only and the process seems so random.
That's not atheistic though. And people interpreting that in a certain way is not the same as a scientific theory, come on.
More accurately, you believe in science up until the point it conflicts with your religious beliefs.
Now atheism fascinates you? Why jump around so much. All will get muddled up this way.I think most of us have had periods in our life where we were atheists.
When you were an atheist, or if you are an atheist, do you ever have to try hard to be an atheist?
For instance, I would bite into a strawberry and observe the strawberry, taste the strawberry, and think to myself, maybe that strawberry was designed to be delightful to our taste buds.
It just seemed like as an atheist, there were constant signs popping up, that maybe there was some sort of intelligent design, destiny, and plan behind the existence of mankind.
I don't see chimpanzees or any other apes evolving... whatever the other apes invent, was the same thing they were inventing thousands of years ago.
It's like my baboon tarantula, invents all kinds of groovy webs, and intricate tunnels throughout the dirt, and it's his home.
That's an example of what animals invent. It is very primitive, and no more advanced then what they were creating thousands of years ago.
Humans on the other hand have Internet, space ships that fly to the moon, robots on Mars, satellites in outer space, airplanes, brain surgery, open heart surgery, kidney dialysis, pacemakers, x-rays, credit cards, MRIS, knee and hip replacement, cell phones, computers, printers, nuclear power, and nuclear weapons.
It made me think, perhaps scripture is right, that mankind was made in God's image, and maybe that is why we invent all these things that other Apes do not.
I don't see any evidence that other apes have evolved at all in thousands of years.
It was hard for me to be an atheist, when I can't find a single person on the planet who is half chimpanzee and half human. There really should be a chimpanzee out there that is more advanced than the rest at least, who invents something more new or something that resembles civilization.
These factors made it very difficult, and I had to try really hard to be an atheist.
It also made me wonder, how did this humble Jesus figure, who was born in a barn in complete poverty, and a humble Carpenter, start a movement that conquered the Roman Empire, and has Conquered 2.2 billion hearts, and lead to a book that is a best seller year after year?
How we date everything centers on his life, "before Christ or after Christ." And more books, shrines, structures, basilicas, and cathedrals are in his honor, more so than anyone else in history.
As an Atheist, it was hard for me to believe that evolved chimps wrote a fairytale, that influences and governs more than 2.2 billion Christians, and 1.8 billion Muslims, in a massively powerful way.
I always had to wonder, perhaps there is a supernatural force behind all of this? Perhaps this was the destiny of mankind?
Any thoughts?
Humans are fascinating Apes...
No. Quite the opposite, in fact: there have been periods of my life where I tried very hard to be a theist, but I couldn’t do it.
I’m not self-centred enough to assume that the features of the things around me were designed just for me.
It seems like your understanding of evolution could use some help.It just seemed like as an atheist, there were constant signs popping up, that maybe there was some sort of intelligent design, destiny, and plan behind the existence of mankind.

Some people's views of evolution Theory are atheistic, because they teach that no intelligent guiding force was involved
I don't believe science conflicts with my beliefs... there have been many scientific and medically documented miracles, and many things that science cannot explain and doesn't have the answers to.
I disagree. When science is trying to declare how the world and creatures were created, the help of an intelligent entity working with the mechanisms of science, and possibly authoring them, is relevant to the topic at hand.
“The existence or non-existence of gods isn’t a factor in what we’re describing” does not equal “gods do not exist.”
People can be allergic to cats as well.
I've heard a lot of people describing the evolution Theory in a way that supports an atheist bias
But if God designed the strawberries and the people to the degree you’re describing, then these (often life-threatening) allergies must be deliberate features designed by God, no?
The theory of evolution certainly doesn’t need a god to be valid, so in that sense, it’s a threat to people trying to argue that God is necessary and relevant to the things we see around us.
