Do Atheists Believe In Fairy Tales?

The fact is that many, if not most things, atheists believe about Evolution, Abiogenesis, et al are UNPROVEN. By applying the atheists' own standard of knowledge to these subjects... the same standard they apply to the Bible and Christianity... would not their own beliefs on these things be proven to be "fairy tales"? I believe that any atheist that is CONSISTENT and HONEST would have to admit that things he can't know for sure are just as much fairy tales as he claims the Bible is.

Wow, what an ignorant video.

I don't think that that is a better explanation. Your explanation is naive, disingenuous and obsolete. "God dunnit" just isn't good enough. The scientific explanation is based on facts, not an old book and some speculation.

And about the transitional fossils: Every fossil is a transitional form. We, just like every other living being, are transitional forms. I'm not sure you understand the theory of evolution by natural selection.

Don't confuse doubting God's existence with doubting the accuracy of the bible. Also, I thoroughly read the bible before considering whether the supernatural events depicted within it were true. You'd have difficulty doing the same with abiogenesis unless you had a highly specialized education in chemistry and biology. In other words, you're wholly unqualified to reject it.

This is correct. Abiogenesis requires faith considering it has not been achieved and even if it was would not account for life as we know it. Great video.

'et al' means 'and others' as in other people, authors, but not ideas like evolution or abiogensis. You should use etc.

Get your own intellect. You really substitute your faith for curiosity, Thanks for all your statements. What great rhetoric, you are the classic definition of somebody with something to prove. Probably a nice guy too.....I have nothing to prove.

The scientific meaning of theory is much different then you claim. A theory is not just a guess, it is arrived with a series of tests or observations, it is a theory and not a law because we can not see it happening at the time, it fits with the evidence we have. Many theories have been proven false, yes, scientists admit it and welcome it. Take the original theory of the atom, it was originally thought to just be a perfect sphere making up matter, not true.

Sure they do, if a frog turns into a Prince in an instant no argue, it is a fairy tale, but according to atheists and evolutionary given 500 millions years to one of those weird Cambrian creautures, it could turn into a fish and then into an amphibian and then to a reptile and then to birds and mammals and finally a humans (Prince) and they say is not a fairy tale? sure it is a fairy tale for grown-ups, no question.

Nexluguolo, yet another self-refuting argument. Could I not equally and legitimately say, "You have to first deny the existence of god before you have any chance to see any proof of Atheism. You're deluded"? Another Atheistic argument that can be turned around and applied to Atheists. This is called self-refuting and INCONSISTENT.

[lodown31]

The spiritual is not like the temporal which is subject to time and the laws of the physical Universe. The whole point is that Yahweh, the God of the Bible, is SELF-EXISTENT, eternal, outside of space and time, ie, not limited to the laws of the physical Universe. Time does not apply here. SomeTHING had to have always existed, you say matter, I say God, Since it would take intelligence to Create, I think God is the more logical answer.

[lodown31]

In fact, because you probably won't bother to look it up, here you go, verses 19 and 20: "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse". Hmmmm... "clearly seen", so how could a "Christian" scholar say different? WORDS HAVE MEANING.

[lodown31]

Rubberbaby00, Name your scholars sir, I would like to research the context of what they said and see if they are truly Christian or some liberal unbeliever who claims the name of Christ falsely. The Bible is clear there would be fakes who claim His name. The Bible says the existence of God is clear, see Romans 1:18-2:15 (look at verse 20 especially). Biblical faith is TRUST, that is clear... trust in what one knows to be true.
