If atheists don't believe in God or any god, and don't even believe they have a spiritual life...why are you in here? Is it because you want to tell all us who do believe in a higher power that we're wrong? Seems mighty pointless when you claim to have no experience with either God or your spiritual life and are therefore no expert concerning the topics within this category. Maybe you guys should suggest an atheist category to the yahoo fella's.

Other than just on the surface, like your basic moral issues such as stealing, murder, physical abuse, rape and such. Just for the sake of keeping the peace.

Why is it so difficult then for atheists, who already believe in something infinite, to accept the possibility of a God who has existed forever and will always exist?

As Christians it is OUR duty to go out and seek and save the lost as Christ commanded us, why are so many of us not doing just that? If you are not hot for God...get hot, make it a matter of earnest prayer! And go OUT and SEEK and save the lost, don't wait for them to notice the way you live.

Please be honest, this is not a haha told ya so question. I really would like to know how much support he still has. Thanks for your honesty, and taking the time to answer.

What are your thoughts on this whole health care reform business? Do you agree with how the president is wanting to change it? If not how would you do it differently?

I'm curious, as i know that Christians believe it is through salvation in Jesus Christ, Buddhists believe its through enlightenment(though they don't quite call it heaven and its actually quite different), and Islam believes its through living a good life in their caste, and if i'm wrong on some of these thats neither here nor there so please just focus on the question. I appreciate your help!

I stop breathing at times when i sleep, so i'm told by my wife, which when i read up online says that its sleep apnea. Does anyone know what the effects are of this other than unrestful sleep? Thanks for your help!

1. Stated by Boyce Rensberger, "The popularly told example of horse evolution, suggesting a gradual sequence of changes from four-toed, fox-sized creatures, living nearly 50 million years ago, to today's much larger one toed horse, has long been known to be wrong. Instead of gradual change, fossils of each intermediate species appear fully distinct, persist unchanged, and then become extinct. Transitional forms are unknown.

2. As stated by Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, "The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils...All paleontologists know that the fossil record contains precious little in the way of intermediate forms; transitions between major groups are characteristically abrupt."

Its a quote by Richard Leakey, the world's foremost paleoanthropologist in a PBS documentary. He stated, "If pressed about man's ancestry, I would have to unequivocally say that all we have is a huge question mark. To date, there has been nothing found to truthfully purport as a transitional species to man, including Lucy...If further pressed, I would have to state that there is more evidence to suggest an abrupt arrival of man rather than a gradual process of evolving."

I've been wondering what the missing links are we learn about in school?

can't be archaeoraptor, that was found to be a fraud,

can't be pakicetus cause thats a land mammal and the pictures they've drawn up were all done from just a few fragments of the skull, none of the bones from the body have been found,

piltdown man was a hoax and took decades to reveal that,

nebraska man was derived from a single tooth that was later found to be from an extinct pig,

java man was drawn up from a piece of a skull and fragment of a thigh bone and three molar teeth, he's now regarded as fully human not transitional,

heidelberg man came from a jawbone, a large chin section, and a few teeth and most scientists reject the jawbone because its too similar to that of modern man,

neanderthal man was a normal guy who died of exposure, his skull was exposed being fully human, not ape, and his stooped posture was found to be caused by disease, and they know he spoke, was artistic and religious.

anyone know of any at all that haven't been found wanting? if you could link them to me i'd appreciate it, Thanks!

I've got some questions to anyone who believes in evolution.

-Can you make me some milk?

you'll likely tell me you need a cow...

-Can you make me a cow?

you'll likely tell me you cannot...

-Where did the cow come from?

you believe evolution so you'll tell me it evolved.

-What came first for the cow? Was it air or lungs? Was it blood or the heart?

-When the first "cow" came out of the primordial soup you claim all live on earth came from, did it have to keep running back to the soup because it didn't have lungs as it had no need of them in the soup?

-The first one was probably alone huh?

-Was it female or male? How did it reproduce?

-What caused the two sexes to arise?

-What caused this earth to exist?

-What caused the "Big bang" to...well...bang?

-Where did all those chemicals or matter come from?

People there are a good many holes in evolution, take an honest look at it.

Imagine a circle that represents all the knowledge that can be known. Lets say you know a surprisingly one percent of all knowledge. And in the one percent you've come to the conclusion that there is no evidence that God exists. Do you think there could be ample evidence in the other 99% of all knowledge that testifies to the existence of God? If you're reasonable you'd have to answer yes. So you're not really an atheist at all...yur an agnostic...hope this helps you in your search for God.
