And what's the problem if our planet needs to be at a very specific place? It means we were lucky, the whole reason our planet even evolved life is because it was located in the "Goldilocks zone".

And I like how some people still think we are the center of the universe...like what happened here never happened elsewhere and that we're special...It's like an underground ant colony that thinks it's the only living thing because it has never actually managed to reach the surface.

Err...not quite. Darwin believed in God at one point, but when he realized that evolution occurs, he quickly lost his faith. However, he was not "proud" of this; in fact he was quite distressed by it. This is perhaps due in part to the fact that his beloved wife was still a firm believer in God.

Either way, he lost his faith, but he wasn't necessarily a "straight atheist", and he certainly wasn't proud of it.

the experiment he conducted to produce aminoacids was conducted thousands of times over and it was never able to reproduce the the aminoacids it produced proving thus it was fake people will propably argue with me but answer this how was the eye created? just by chance? it is litteraly impossible to evolve from basic aminoacids. and the finch prinple. . . there beaks changed because the climate and then changed back. . . this process happend many times&we have no geological proof of evolution. .

That's the beginning of the Universe, that has nothing to do with Evolution.

Wait, if atheists don't want it because of rules, why is it theists that make up 90%+ of jail population?

I believe that Gods son came to the earth, sacrificed his life, died on a cross for my sins so I could be forgiven and go to heaven, having a life that is real.....because in heaven ...you never die....:) I challenge u, ask him to make himself real to u...I promise he will..just ask

[Chelebelle19999]

The reality is.....people don't want to believe in a Living God...because if they did.....they couldn't do the things they want to do. They wouldn't have to follow any rules. I feel sad for them, because they have nothing to look forward to. They die...they are dead and go back to dirt. Whe I die, I know I will see my father and brother again and have a body that feels no pain .

[Chelebelle19999]

.........and collided and big bam bang.......Okay so how can we argue Darwin. When he can't explain where the molecules came from that caused the Big Bang theory.........so. Do I need the faith to believe they existed? Because if I have to have faith for invisible things.....your science. Or today's science......I prefer to have faith in a higher huge fricking power. That lov me and created me...and oh .. Hey....if hey crould create me.......

First answer how something came from nothing? Please explain h
