Atheism/God's existence

Advertisement


Question
If God does not exists, how did this magnificent universe come to existence? How our earth survives although there are so many meteors, asteroids? How did we come into existence? How can we have eyes, ears and numerous internal organs, which we ourselves are not aware? How can they existence on its own?. How do the sexes (male, female) form? If you say that all these things comes out of nature and evolution without any Supreme being's intervention, it is similar to say that a computer formed itself without human intervention.

Regards,

Answer
We are answering all these questions you pose slowly but surely. We don't know how all matter came into existance, only that matter has evolved to form all that you see through natural selection. A computer can not exists without a maker but a maker can not exists without another maker. If there is a supreme being who created everything, who created that supreme being, and who created him, and so on. And if you insist that God has always existed without need to be created, then why couldn't everything you see around have always just been here without ever being 'created' as well? It's almost futile to think about it but I refuse to fall for fantasy when fact is all around me. However, if it makes you feel better, then please follow the flock and give your money to the theater of the doomed, I mean church. Me, I think the Universe is much too grand to be confined to such small thinking.

Raised Southern Baptist, Atheist since 2007, Theology, Cosmology, and Abiogenesis hobbiest. Rational philosopher and logical deep thinker.

Experience

Raised Southern Baptist (Oklahoma), three times weekly including bible study. At age 39 I thought I wanted to be a better Christian and make God a priority and center of my life; until I actually got serious with the study and realized that all this God business was actually just a business. Then I picked up all the other religions for comparison and studied theology as a whole in order to understand religion as a whole. Since then I have thrown out my respect for religious organizations and the dishonest people who run them. I am not militant against religion and feel that personal and private spritiuality is a human right. I'm 100% sure there is no master of the Universe concerned with our daily existance but hold reserve about where everything came from; I don't know but at least science doesn't invoke far fetched unbased fantasy. I'm also 100% sure that beyond death there is no consciousness, spiritual or ghostly existance and I bravely accept that my demise will be real.
