How can i disprove evolution and show how athiesm is wrong?
I was talked to by my science teacher yesterday about how we all came from monkeys, i told him it was ridiculous. He asked why and the only things i could think of were like "If evolution was true, where are transitional fossils?" and then i remembered that the evolutionary theory is driven by so many chance occurrences that it is mathematically impossible....... but i remember a darwinist that said something along the lines of "Given enough time the impossible becomes possible" so they can just use that..../////// Also how can i show atheists and Scientologists are 'men of faith' because they believe the big bang happened.
Also for atheists and Scientologists... has the universe been here always or did it start at some point? If it has always been here, how do we know? and if it started at some point, what was before that? and if nothing was before the universe, what would cause the universe to come into existence???

Seriously? Here are a few people to check out. Kent Hovind www.drdino.com (who is in jail right now for tax evasion, but his material is great and can answer just about every question you have.), Ken Ham www.answersingenesis.com , Dr. Walter Veith http://amazingdiscoveries.org/ , Chuck Missler http://www.khouse.org/ (listen to his speech on DNA here: http://www.khouse.org/6640/BP089/) , Dave Hunt, Hugh Ross... etc.
Hang in there! I used to be a full blown believer in darwinian "macro" evolution and was practicaly an athiest when a friend of mine let me hear Mr. Hovind's lecture series. It changed my perspective forever. Above all else: Be critical in your thinking and skeptical in your approach when studying anything. Don't be afraid! Seek out the contradictions and make objections. Study, study, study,
I have regular conversations with a good agnostic/athiest friend, or several usually, once a week over coffee. I realize it's his dogma, his belief system. That even in the face of proof against his beliefs (or lack thereof), he holds fast. He can accept anything but the Christian God, what he really is, is an anti-thiest.
Listen to Chuck Missler and Kent Hovind and you will be fine. Good luck to you!

- Evolution makes no claim humans came from monkeys, but we share common ancestors.
He asked why and the only things i could think of were like "If evolution was true, where are transitional fossils?"
- Many transitional fossils have been found. take Ida or lucy for example.
and then i remembered that the evolutionary theory is driven by so many chance occurrences that it is mathematically impossible....... but i remember a darwinist that said something along the lines of "Given enough time the impossible becomes possible" so they can just use that....///////
- "darwinist" is not a correct term for someone who believes in evolution. The impossible does not ever become possible, therefore because life exists, it is clearly not impossible.
Also how can i show atheists and Scientologists are 'men of faith' because they believe the big bang happened.
- Athiests and scientologists are EXTREMELY different. Although the big bang is only a theory, evidence keeps stacking up towards it's validity. It's a much smaller leap of faith to believe in the big bang than to believe in a "creator".
Also for atheists and Scientologists... has the universe been here always or did it start at some point? If it has always been here, how do we know? and if it started at some point, what was before that?
- It's presumed to have an infinite time span. before the big bang there was another big bang, and another before that.
and if nothing was before the universe, what would cause the universe to come into existence???
- There's no possible way of telling, but that in no way points to a god or more specifically your God. It's more rational to think that the universe exists on its own merit than it is to think that the universe exists because it was created.

I don't think you know what Scientologists are, if you're lumping them in with atheists.
I also don't think you understand evolution. ALL fossils are transitional fossils, because evolution is an ongoing process that never stops.
The impossible cannot be possible, that is why it is impossible. Whoever claimed that was mistaken. The IMPROBABLE is always possible. There is a difference.
The universe as we know it expanded from a singularity. We do not know the origin of that singularity. Not knowing does not imply that supernatural explanations are correct or even plausible. We simply don't know yet.
The vast majority of atheists do not believe that the universe came from nothing, however. There was something, we just don't know what it is and we're not going to assume it was a magic invisible man without evidence.
Hundreds of years ago we did not know what caused earthquakes. Many religions claimed it was the work of gods. We now know it was tectonic plates. Supernatural explanations are always being replaced with natural ones as we learn more about the world. There has NEVER been a natural explanation replaced by a supernatural one.

Ok so first off we didn't come from modern monkeys, just a common ancestor as modern monkeys. We both evolved from a primitive ape. You can't exactly disprove evolution considering that ALL viable evidence points towards it. We don't believe the big bang happened, that once again is strongly pointed to by most evidence (not all as in the case of evolution). The last questions, well none of that is known. But just you can't explain it that doesn't mean that there is some invisible man that made it all.

Your science teacher never told you that we all came from monkeys. I can only assume that you are not telling the truth. Nobody has ever claimed that apart from the uninformed religious fundamentalists that have never had an education and see reality as a threat to their religious myth.
To prove atheism is wrong come up with some tangible evidence to prove that there is a god. You can`t and nobody else can either, because there isn`t one.
Transitional fossils: Plenty.
Big Bang: Evidence that even you could see if you knew where to look.

Let's see...
You can't prove evolution to be wrong, as any other explanation would disregard all the evidence there is for it.
'Faith' means to put one's belief and trust into something completely, without regard to evidence. People have evidence for the Big Bang, and therefore it isn't faith: in fact, many people wouldn't even consider it if there wasn't evidence for it.
I'd have to research the exactness of the Big Bang theory, but the idea basically is that before the universe, there was pretty much only energy in one form or another, and this energy created an infinitely heavy, infinitely small point, which then exploded, and then we have the big bang.

Atheism is JUST the nonbelief in gods; it has nothing to do with evolution.
Humans descended from a common ancestor with the apes. We are not descended from anything living today.
Darwinism (a philosophy)=/=Evolution (a scientific theory)
All the current cosmological evidence points towards a "Big Bang." No belief is required.
And as for those last few questions, current cosmological scientists can only go so far back (several hundred thousand years after the Big Bang). However, just because we don't know everything about the universe doesn't mean we should automatically, and brainlessly, assume that some "god" did it.

Evolution is completely compatible with faith.
You can't disprove something that has already been scientifically proved. Try adjusting your views on faith to accommodate the truth. It isn't a very big transition in thinking unless you read the bible literally. In that case you will have trouble making rational arguments on this subject.
There are lots of transitional fossils in existence and we keep finding more all the time.
- mrduckyLv 41 decade ago
ummm you must have misheard your teacher.
he should say common ape ancestor.
evolutionary theory is not mathematic impossible
10 purely random mutations EVERY day in E. Coli alone. 1 is beneficial, rest are detrimental and kill.
and you should note that mitosis results in more chance of mutation
(if you are referring to abiogenesis)

scientologists is a religion that believes in aliens.
congratz on making yourself look silly
universe came from a singularity expanding, if you dont know what a singularity is, look it up.
then the big bang happened and the universe expanded rapidly.
quantum mechanics say that matter can instantly happen then annihilate itself without breaking the laws of conservation of mass.
good to know you are open minded. wiki big bang, wiki evolution.

WE DID NOT COME FROM GOD DAMN MONKEYS< YOU STUPID IGNORANT CHRISTIANS!!!
Had to get that off my chest.
THERE IS TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS, remember it is very hard for something to become a fossil so of course there is gaps. How do you explain the fossils we have like lucy, little foot and the others? Those fossils show we evolved, MOVE ON.
Okay so we don't know how the universe started, however "God did it, is a worse argument than simply not knowing.
