Because the God you believe in would be capable of magically poofing life into existence with only the illusion of species being related?

I find it very strange that someone would so surely believe that "God did it" and then reject the very mechanisms that God used to "do it".
On the other hand, it's just as strange to me that one would reject the idea that some transcendent mystery source "must have made it possible" while constantly touting the amazingly complex systems and mechanisms that have resulted in so much complexity, variety, and possibility (supposedly from nothing and for no reason).
Both positions are self-blinding and quite devoid of logic or reason.

Odd that it is taught in schools. How did you miss it? And it is readily available for free in books and the internet, so you have no excuse except your religious bias.
But you are not well informed, so of course you have no way to make any such judgment. Try studying first, then assess.
Your posts reveal a serious lack of knowledge, so when you are confused about science it is no wonder. The well educated understand the science. The ignorant remain confused, as you are.

Why do you think that there would be world peace if we all became atheists?

I was a nonbeliever for 17 years and then I chose to become a Baha'i.
What convinced me was the evidence. If the Baha'i Faith was true, then God existed.
I could no longer disbelieve, it was not a choice.

They are not real Gods, they are fictional gods.
The difference is that a real God exists whereas fictional gods to not exist.

All humans are animals but all humans do not live only like animals. Some humans are able to rise above the animal level.

This book, on the other hand, proves the divine origin of Islam and the superiority of the teachings of Islam over all religions and establishes the authenticity of the Holy Quran through comprehensive investigation.
Quote from the first book. I thought he was going to argue and give proof of the existence of God, but maybe this is later in the books.

What do animals live like? What is "animal level?"
One of the arguments of the first book is that unlike Jesus who did not have assistants to directly write his messages, the prophet Muhammad had and was considered to have low education and the Quran is in fact a book of great erudition, however, Muhammad was not illiterate . As he worked in commerce, he certainly had rudimentary knowledge of writing. The idea that he was illiterate is not accepted by investigators.If We All Became Atheists?

Hopefully humans do more than that.

Go to work to earn a living, believe in God, to name a couple of things.

Innovative creatures, humans are, technology driven and rapid in development...hostile creatures they are known to be, also.
We watch sometimes .... Like kids discovering a new toy in their first box of cracker Jacks. I get excited over the little things. When I found out a new storage case had handles placed in a sensible location and discovering them to be more durable than most, I was happy enough about it to buy more. Oh, and clouds still form into cool pictures and silhouettes up top. I'm a kid at heart. We're still animals, though.

I suspect that animals are more immersed in both nature and the now than we humans, since they (probably) lack the capacity for abstract thought which seems to cause in us a degree of separation from our immediate context. It seems to me also, that this is the real meaning of the story of Adam and Eve and the apple..,
Would peace would improve because
religion would be one less thing to
fight over. But even atheists can be
greeedy, rapacious, & violent too.

Why on earth do we become Atheism (Et al.), it is a philosophical term, baseless as for as the Truthful Religion is concerned, right, please?
