The reason why Darwins Idea of Evolution is so appealing to Atheists and Atheism is precisely because it makes no mention, no allusion, nor gives any credit to God. Much similarly to Atheism, Evolution bases itself on nothing. Yes, it is called a Scientific Theory, and a myriad of scientists attest to books and volumes of data, experimentation, findings, research, and other so-called scientific documentation to prove Evolution as some sort of fact, but in reality, Evolution is a religion. All the data, experimentation, findings, research, and documentation is basically faith and hope based upon more faith and hope in the idea that a mans faith and hope (that of Charles Darwin) is correct. As God is totally excluded from Evolution, it, in a sense, is Atheism repackaged with scientific wording and terminology. This is why the vast majority of self-professing atheists give full support to Evolution at every turn, using it as much as a crutch as Atheists claim Christians use the Bible. Atheism and Evolution go together like a hand in a glove.
Atheists repeatedly insist that no one needs God to act morally. We do not deny that an atheist can act in a moral manner. It is asserted that moral actions are the result of natural selection--that they arose because of their survival benefit and have nothing to do with actual right and wrong or with a nonexistent "god." But moral acts, if they are the product of evolution, have no moral basis. The atheist, though he claims to be as moral in his actions as a Christian, is acting out of selfishness or for momentary expediency, not for morality's sake. This is a far cry from the selfless love the Bible ascribes to God and requires from those who claim to be His followers.
According to Dawkins, the history of mankind is nothing more than the history of a colony of chimpanzees--or garden slugs, for that matter! What of art, music, science, libraries, universities, museums? All are meaningless in evolution!
Nor can we blame Hitler or the underlings who ran the extermination camps for simply doing what was programmed into their genes by natural selection. If our sense of what is right and wrong, ethical and moral, is in our genes, how can evil be blamed on anyone? Or how can anyone be commended for doing good? If one's sense of right and wrong is the result of chemical reactions in the brain, why should we honor such standards?
Consciousness has neither physical qualities nor location anywhere in the physical world, so how could it evolve?
The soul is nonphysical, and its existence does not end with the death of the body. No part of the physical body thinks. The brain certainly does not initiate our thoughts. No one wonders what one's brain might think of next.
The soul and spirit are the real person--the one who makes the choices, is conscious, and is accountable to God for every thought, word, and deed. The soul and spirit, being nonmaterial, are not subject to the laws of physics and chemistry and will therefore continue forever, either in joyful union with the Creator or in the horror of eternal separation and remorse.
Paul explains that evil exists in the world because God has revealed Himself to all mankind and they not only have refused to honor Him, but they have turned against the Creator that every thinking person knows exists (Romans 1:18-23)--and actually hate Him. Here is Paul's inspired description of today's world of Christ rejecters:
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind...being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. [Emphasis added] (Romans 1:28-32)
These guys are truly ignorant. The man makes an example of Issac Newton as the smartest scientist yet he was christian, well dickhead, the theory of evolution wasn't even present when newton was alive. God was the only explanation for his existence. Who created God anyway?

This beginning (TIME) starts with the immortal first words of The Bible: "In the BEGINNING ..." therefore The Bible clearly states that the universe had a beginning, as does Einstein's famous equations. Science & The Bible agree on this point. TIME is actually just another facet of Creation, taking its place in the cosmic mixing bowl with the other 4 'ingredients'. Time did not exist before our universe began. There simply was no such thing as time before the sudden appearance of the universe.

The universe is therefore not eternal. So time was created at the same moment as the universe. An omnipotent God must be - and is- beyond time. He exists outside of this 'fourth dimension' that Einstein went on to explain and quantify in a radical new way. The Creator is outside and beyond all concepts of time, energy, force,space and matter.

The REAL universe, the spirit dimension, is theinhabitation of an all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present Being, The One and only - "I AM THAT I AM" .... אהיה אשר אהיה

There is no evidence for the existence of god. It is therefore illogical to believe that one exists.

@RationalConclusion The evidence is all around you. Creation, morality, your conscience. God will testify if you humble yourself and repent of your sins and put your trust in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
