How come atheists can understand?

That's a very good point. Thank you. Violation of the prime directive under certain cicumstances would negate free will.

No, there is no congruity and it is not inescapable - well, maybe only to you.

The Prime Directive was very simple and anyone who doesn't "understand" it is an idiot. Simply put, it meant don't interfere in any other civilization and don't try to have any affect on any other civilization. How is this, in any way, similar to not believing in God. ***But then they pretend that understanding why God doesn't do things like just pop up in the sky, or fix everyone's problems, is beyond their ability to grasp?*** <<<< I'm not pretending anything - I don't believe in God so "understanding" is not an issue for me. And not only do I not believe in God, I don't care whether there is a God or not.

"I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm all right

I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home

I don't want you to worry for me - this is my life

Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone"

Just because I can understand what people say does not mean I automatically accept that it is true. I have the capacity to think about what you say and decide if it is rational or based on fact and to dismiss whatever is asserted without evidence to justify your claim.

As an atheist I do not believe in your God or any other god because there is no evidence to support your assertion that such a being exists. Likewise I do not expect your God to "just pop up in the sky, or fix everyone's problems" because I do not believe that any God is real.

The what directive?

All i remember from star trek was Kirk fighting invisible mind-rays from intergallactic dictators and the doc going down on a knee checking some dude's pulse, looking up to the capt'n and saying "he's dead Jim"

Still no proof for god, you're wasting our time here buddy.

The congruity is very escapable; The Enterprise crew DIDN'T claim to have created ANY of the civilisations that they study.

-What does god need with a starship?- Kirk, ST V.

I always thought the Prime Directive was a load of crap, but suspension of disbelief helps me to appreciate Star Trek as a good show anyway. There is, however, no good reason to suspend disbelief when it comes to reality.

"how come they do not fully grasp that the THEORY of evolution is only a THEORY ?" The maximum honor a proof of determined phenomenon will have in technological know-how is the extent of conception. Saying "is only a conception" speaks approximately your lack of expertise within the realm of technological know-how, to not any meant issues you suppose calling it a conception is. A conception in technological know-how denotes an cause of bodily phenomenon that's sponsored by way of each piece of demonstrable proof and refuted by way of none. It isn't a random wager. "It is one among hundereds of theorys of the construction of guy!" It is the one one sponsored by way of proof. "there's many gaps within the fossil list that atheists love to disregard, like for illustration the lacking hyperlink" Which "lacking hyperlink" do you suppose remains to be lacking? Are you real caught within the 1800s while the fossil list used to be very deficient? Are you no longer mindful of the quantity of fossils we have now now observed although this is a very infrequent incidence?

Both are fictional. The Star Trek one just makes more sense.

Except the the Vulcans did not create humans. God supposedly created humans. But he purposefully made them imperfect just to test if they were any good? Now that doesn't make any sense.

So God has to answer to his superiors if he interferes with the 'alien civilization' that HE created?

Who the Hell are your God's superiors? Is he an alien aboard a starship as well? Now this could get interesting.
