Assuming the Universe if so perfectly ordered that intelligent design is as apparent as J Lo's well-created behind, who or what created God? Or how is it that God evolved?Originally Posted by muffins
1) Erroneous assumption. The universe is not Copernican. All the patterns that you see are from natural forces. For example, a line of seaweed on the beach is due to the tide and wave action, not because someone took the time to arrange the seaweed in a line like that.
2) "Who created god?" ... which god? There are many.
3) Man invented gods many times in history to explain things they could not.
4) Though J-Lo's arse is divine, it is not itself evidence of divine intervention.
Why do so many atheists hate Christians?
We don't.
We also don't hate Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, etc.
We also don't hate Jesus, before someone brings that up too.
I'm not a member of any football clubs ... but that does not mean I hate football clubs either.
Why do atheist believe they know there is no God or afterlife?
It's evidence based I guess. For the same reason people grow out of believing in Santa, fairies, unicorns, the Lock Ness monster and ghosts etc - lack of credible evidence makes the proposition non-credible to us atheists.
It's like if a stranger comes up to you with a box. He claims there is a gold bar in the box worth £12,000, but only wants £50 for it.
He won't let you look in the box to see if there really is a gold bar in the box before you fork out £50 for it.
You would want evidence.
I also believe that I know that there isn't a giant inflatable space-duck floating behind Saturn where we can't see it

I completely agree about evidence. I'm just not willing to say that space-duck behind Saturn doesn't simply because I can't see it from my couch. I'd like someone to go out and look first before I declare "There is no duck!"
Do you think people atheism is a belief?
But then you risk going down the road of trying to find evidence to disprove things, rather than evidence in proving things.
For instance, lets say we send a probe to Saturn and find no duck. How do we know that the duck isn't invisible to normal cameras? Then we send a probe with radar and IR sensors to detect the invisible duck, and still find no duck. But what if the duck can instantly teleport to a position behind another planet? We send probes with radar to all planets, and still find no duck. But what if the duck isn't really an invisible teleporting duck and is instead a space elephant that can disguise itself as a planet ... and so on and so on.
No. I find it strange that there is descriptive term for someone that doesn't belong to something though.
There's no similar term for those who do not wish to take part in sports. Or those who vote for no party.
