Really , the only belief I have and hold to is the adherence to intellectual honesty and faith that its better for mankind to continue investigating facts based on physical evidence to use toward the ending benefit of humanity.
As an atheist you obviously espouse evolution.
So let's test the facts.
Is a fact that living things arise from non living things? = Never observed.
Is a fact that complex systems evolve bit by bit? = No evidence anywhere of the evolution of such systems.
Is it a fact that evolutionist have the missing link? = No the missing links are still missing.
Is it a fact that mutations support evolution? = No. Evolution (things becoming more ordered) and mutations (things becoming more disordered) are processes going in opposite directions.
Is it a fact that probability supports evolution? No. Evolutionists such as Sir Fred Hoyle concede this when they say "The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way (time and chance) is comparable with the chance that 'a tornado sweeping through a junk-yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein.
Is it a fact,according to natural selection, that the fittest survive? No. Natural selection is based on circular reasoning: the fittest are those who survive, and those who survive are deemed fittest.
All requires a tremendous amount of faith. More faith than I can ever have. Again I wish I had the faith of an Atheist.
Your logic and reason is based upon hearsay alone derived from ancient mythological expressions.
Here is the funny part. I have not posted anything derived from ancient mythological expressions but science and math.
I do accept and acknowledge that the Jesus god was devised to appeal and in benefit to humanity through empathy, understanding and compassion toward the human condition.
Why bring up Jesus, I am not arguing for Jesus but Intelligent Design.
