While I would love to trawl through a page of badly written satire, can I get a reply to my comments? :)

Well, they were in opposition to your points. So, either I, or you, are right :P

Look...try to present your "proofs" of evolution, and I'll "unproof" them.


Despite me disagreeing with some of red's arguments. I can ultimately say on this matter, you are wrong. It is an empirically verified fact, and it is the most probable explanation for the origin of species (intended).

Now, onto red.

Well, no. There is no "proof" for both sides, taking proof to mean deductive proof, as it should be. However, if you're talking about evidence - which you probably are, in virtue of evolution being induced by an a posteriori argument - then you're wrong.
Indeed talking abouth evidence.

Of course theism has evidence for it. To deny the existence of their arguments is foolish. You could say "the evidence for theism is not sufficient for it to be true" - fair enough, that's reasonable. But why not? Specific cases is required.
"the evidence for theism is not sufficient for it to be true" <- this indeed , as to why , their have been tons of religions
Litterly in the thousands.
Zeus , Apollo, Ra , Jupiter, Cronus , Gaia , anubis , just to name a few.
All have different views of the world.




Alto , I don't see how this has anything to do with the main topic of "why are atheist atheist"

Non-sequitur.

1. There is not enough evidence for theism to be considered the truth
2. Ergo, There have been lots of different theistic beliefs.

How on earth do you draw that?

I think there's not such thing as atheist people. Every single one who doesn't believe in nothing, is no longer in this world, everyone lives as long as they believe in anything, whatever it is. Christians, catholics, muslims and judes, most of them criticize people with their own belief.

Every single person believes in something (most of us believes in what our parents told us to believe or what they told us not to believe, :P ). It doesn't matter if we follow our belief strictly or not. Atheistm does not exist. Even an nihilistic like Nietzche believed in something (the "Übermensch", the "Superman").

Because we created god to explain the unexplainable in the olden times. We created him. Before we had language there was no god because it was impossible to convey that idea with just actions. Once language came we used it as a way to explain things we didn't understand. The Ancient Greeks and Romans had gods to explain what happened with weather. When there was lightning "oh, Zeus is angry." They had stories to explain everything. Even now when things happen that scientists can't understand some psychos call it miracles. They aren't miracles they are just things we don't have the technology to figure out or haven't figured out yet.

God was also created because people had trouble coping with the concept of death. They didn't want this to be it. They didn't want this to end when they died. So they chose to believe that there was a better place to go to after they died.

God was created so people can forgive themselves. God "forgives all." People want to believe that there is someone out there who will forgive them no matter how bad they act or what they do. Alot of the times it helps people cope with the atrocities they have committed.
