Is there an Atheist that doesn't believe in evolution?

Quick answer: Yes, there are many. They are being born each day.
Elaboration: Everyone is born an atheist. Atheism is defined as not having a belief in god. It does not have to be a choice in the matter. If you have not heard or cannot comprehend a god concept there is no way you would be able to believe in it. That being said, these children have not been exposed to evolution and likewise cannot accept it.

Now to the actual intent of the question. Most adult atheists do tend to lean more towards science for answers to the "big questions." Most are driven and convinced by evidence as opposed to superstition. However, not all atheists are. Some may just feel that god concepts are silly regardless of their views on science. Or in some cases they may find issues with some theories or feel the evidence is inconclusive.

Personally, I accept evolution, it makes too much sense and there has been a lot of evidence to support it. I however, only accept part of the Big Bang as it has been proposed. The great thing about science, is that it encourages you to learn and challenge theories. But to do so, you had better have enough evidence to back your claims....Show more

It just so happens that most atheists understand science. The exception is babies. Babies are not theists but they do not understand evolution or gravity. Most theists also believe in evolution because it is a scientific fact. The only places you have a problem with it is in the USA and third world countries in the Middle East and Africa.

This of course stems from US mentalities that grew from the cold war and it's a really long story but pretty much this happened. Russia did something and the US did the opposite. Russia became atheist, US became super religious. The rest of the world stayed in between and really don't care about religion. Exception, third world countries and babies....Show more

It would be unusual - if evolution isn't occurring then what would be the alternative reason for biological diversity? Creationists might argue that God was the cause but that option isn't open to an atheist....Show more

Well presumably all those infants born atheists don't believe in evolution.

The idea that no God[s] exist is not necessarily associated with belief in evolutionary theory....Show more
