Atheists live by science, but science (always) changes. God and the Bible (always) remain the same. They know there is a God. He is revealed in creation, through His Word, and through Jesus Christ. Everybody knows that God is real, people just hate Him so much they suppress the truth.

I do not need to prove it, any more than goodlife can prove there are no unicorns.
Goodlife, //most of the great men of this world live as if they were atheists.//

How do atheists live?
Goodlife.... // The knowledge of a God, his presence, and his justice, has not the slightest influence over the wars/// no, but the "belief in God" has caused more Wars than anything else has. My God is better than your God so I need to kill you to cleanse the world of your kind.. despite the fact that the Bible quite clearly says "Thou shalt not kill.."
Saying, "God did it", doesn't explain existence either.

That said theoretical physics does explain existence. In a nutshell, anything that can happen must. And so here we are.
I think we all know goodlife well enough by now to know that he puts up his OP's, and no matter what anyone says, he will simply not debate properly, he will simply post more cut-and-pasted Biblical tracts, and go on his own sweet way.

It would be easier if we just left him to it, and absolutely as productive.
//How do atheists live?//

Well, it's not easy. To be honest it's a bit of a struggle.
Question Author
There it is atheist can't explain existence.
But some individuals claiming to be atheists may actually have doubts about evolution, may sense their own spiritual need, and may even pray. Let us see what caused some atheists and agnostics to think more deeply about the subject and eventually build a close relationship with their Creator.
" That said theoretical physics does explain existence. "

News to me :P But it doesn't have to. Just needs to keep trying.
Goodlife, //Let us see what caused some atheists and agnostics to think more deeply about the subject and eventually build a close relationship with their Creator. //

Go on then. Tell us.
Question Author
Having done some research, I have found this regarding evolution.

Darwin in his book “Origin of Species”, in the 19th century , based on similarities between different species he concluded that they must have evolved from common ancestors.

Darwin did not explicitly deny existence of God and carefully avoided being termed an atheist.


However, his theory became popular and widely accepted by atheists, who had finally found a justification for their belief and became its evangelists. They maintained and propagated that the theory was an absolute fact, supported by scientific findings. With the scientific appeal attached, the idea spread rapidly and fools of past, came to be ranked with intellectuals. Since then, several stories have been written, to explain evolution of species from one-another. These stories are widespread and continue to evolve to this day, with no evidence.
Question Author
Then evolutionary evangelicals also found support from those who had rebelled against religions – either due to false beliefs2, like multitude of gods, or due to the strict laws and rituals they mandate. For this group, it not only offered an alternative belief, but also freed them of all religious commitments. Together, they waged a war against all religions and against God Himself, producing literature to support their belief and discredit all that opposed it. In years that followed, this belief was adopted by many individuals and nations, and the world witnessed moral decadence and killings like never before.
Evolution isn't there to explain the start, but the process thereafter.

The start is because universes are continually coming into existence and some must therefore eventually be suitable for life due to pure chance. They come into existence because "nothing" isn't a stable state. One would need to explain lack of existence rather than existence. Which is a little difficult if there is a lack of existence.
I like a good fiction tale too.
Goodlife, you’ve criticised those who espouse evolution but you’ve avoided telling us //what caused some atheists and agnostics to think more deeply about the subject and eventually build a close relationship with their Creator.// which you suggested we examine. I'm waiting for you to tell us the result of your examination.
//his theory became popular and widely accepted by atheists, who had finally found a justification for their belief//

Good life, atheism is a lack of belief in God. It isn't a belief in itself, so there is nothing to justify. Saying one method is exceptionally unlikely, is not a claim to knowing the answer.

I've ben telling goodlife this simple fact since he started on here, and along with everyone else who posts responses to him, he continues to ignore me.

goodlife loves to believe that atheists waste the same inordinate amount of time and energy as he does defending their position regardint the non-existance of God.

As I have pointed out time and time again, and will be ignored again I am sure - atheists don't worry about proving the non-existence of God - they simply don't care

Well, Andy, I await goodlife's reply (and to naomi's question) with bated breath... :-)
Question Author
Not surprisingly, then, many people view religion as an obstacle to human progress and peace. Some have even asked themselves if humankind would be better off without God and religion. However, would such a wholesale rejection of religious thinking bring its own problems?
Some are honest enough to acknowledge the confused state brought about by atheism

Nevertheless, God “cannot deny himself.” (2 Timothy 2:13) The time must come when he will resolve all aspects of this issue of sovereignty in harmony with his own stated purpose: “They will have to know that I am Jehovah.” (Ezekiel 38:23) But why has he taken so long? How will the issue finally be resolved? And how can you make right decisions in this most important matter for you,and that all for today.
Would you answer the previous questions please, goodlife? Your own words are better, particularly for those who don't view the bible as gospel...
You don't half spout a load of rubbish goodlife.
