THE ATHEIST CHALLENGE

This is a Challenge for all non believers.
1.How do you think life began? Does empirical science prove your answer?
2.Why has every civilization believed in a creator?
3.What types of government structures have been created from an atheistic world view in the past? What positive ideals has atheism offered this world?
4.By what authoritative writer or principles do you live your life? Do you live by any standards?
5.In your opinion should religion be removed from public? If so where should it be tolerated?
6.How did the universe begin? Can nothing create everything? What was the cause?
7.Hypothetically if you had to choose a religion what religion would you choose? Why would you choose this religion? Would you tell others of your religion?
8.How can evolution explain features of irreducible complexity apart from intelligent intervention?
9.How can natural selection produce something that is a prerequisite for natural selection to operate?
10.Morality seems to change with the times in the atheist community why are morals so subjective within the atheist community?
11.What is the motive of freeing others from their belief in a God if they are happy and content with their belief and dont hurt others? How can you tell who is not content and happy? And why the main focus on Christianity?
12. If humans evolved from Apes why have the transitional species gone extinct but yet the Ape and Man still exist? Why the middle gap?
13. Can you give three examples where the narrative of Jesus and his message would be a negative influence if what he said was true?
14.Do you think the world would be better if there was no belief in a God? What if there were no rules or standards to that belief system?
15.Can you give five examples of Atheists being persecuted in America currently?
16.Do you think the laws that govern America are for the most part just and appropriate?
17.Can empirical science prove the missing link, big bang, or the abiogenesis theories? If not why are they taught in schools today?
18. Do you think if the story of Jesus was proven true that his resurrection would be the greatest feat in human history? If not what was greater?
19. What came first the chicken or the egg? What does evolution say?
20.What three things would you change if you were the creator of this world?
21.If belief in an afterlife is a naïve wish for people that are afraid of death cant non-belief be a naïve wish for people that are afraid of accountability to God after death?
22.In a universe without God or immortality, how is mankind ultimately different from a swarm of mosquitoes or a herd of cattle? Are humans of more intrinsic value?
23.Do humans possess the ability to feel love, affection, and empathy? If so, explain how? Can it be explained without using the metaphysical?
24.Who contributes more charitable services and financial resource to the worlds suffering and impoverished? Atheist or Theist?
25.What evidence would you need to prove that God existed and by what standard of evidence? Do you follow this same standard in all of your current beliefs?

I believe the reason I have not met an atheist who could answer these basic questions without major contradictions is that the atheist worldview fails in answering the key questions to life and purpose.

Good Luck

I am running out of time (between flights) and patience in answering stupid questions..

[daNDayati]

17) Yes science can provide workable theories on biological origins, big bang, or the abiogenesis theories? (limited education?) They are taught in schools (as long as the schools don't have religious zealots on the school boards..

[daNDayati]

12) we are apes.. and the other hominids have either adopted and survived or not..

[daNDayati]

11) belief in the supernatural in unfounded.. belief in Santa Claus makes children happy.. should adults also believe? Having imaginary friends is something most educated adults tend to leave behind.. (a negative correlation between religion and education.. R Santorum vouched for that..)

[daNDayati]

10) All morality changes to suite the times, e.g. it was considered immoral to wear a dress that exposes the calf of a woman's leg was consider immoral circa 1900.. and now, no.. Moral behavior in innate (re: cognitive psychology. Paul Bloom is a professor of psychology at Yale has a lot research on the subject of moral behavior in infants..)

[daNDayati]

90 "How can natural selection produce something that is a prerequisite" makes no sense.

[daNDayati]

8) irreducible complexity is not a scientific term and needs no further explanation (if this is not the case please cite the journal where I can find the peer reviewed article on this topic. Evolution works as a theory as it predicts events.. re: industrial paleontology in finding hydrocarbon deposits in oil exploration.. uses evolution to predict where the deposits are..

[daNDayati]

7) if I have a thesis or ideas I tend to share them.. as religious beliefs are unfounded there is not much to talk about.

[daNDayati]

6) causality regarding the universe is not a good question.. there was no before.. per se (no time).. I take solace from the words of Stephen Hawking ... It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.. but in any case write your own thesis.

[daNDayati]

5) any personal beliefs are just that.. personal.. If you are Sious and want to worship the great spirit Wakan Tanka, knock yourself out.. but if you want to do a ceremonial rite on public grounds or in a public school, no. If you want to use public funds to construct a shine to Wakan Tanka, no. If you say that as Wakan Tanka wants women to be uneducated, no.
