Atheism is unbelievable

Atheism is ridiculous.

It's a total cop-out.

I mean, this is the scenario humans are faced with:

  • We exist.
  • Why do we exist?
  • How do we exist?
 Many people try to find answers to these questions.Many people stick to the answers handed to them by their society. Some people undertake deep personal searches to find these answers.

What do atheists do? They answer these questions at a level one does not expect (or should not expect) in normal humans

Why do we exist? "We just do."
How do we exist? "We just do." (It may have been an accident, at that.)

That's such a fundamentalist way to think. They decide what they want to believe and then close their minds to the questions that challenge them.

The thing is, why don't just exist. Had we been matter of the simplest form imaginable, perhaps the first answer would be feasible. But still the second would not.

Of course, we aren't dry matter. Which doesn't matter to atheists. If we as humans have no plan or purpose, we might as well have been pure matter.

To believe in a physical world alone is ludicrous.

How does a search for meaning even being to formulate itself without the existence of 'meaning' itself?

Design vs. Chance

The following story may be a fabrication, but illustrates the point well. The story is probably sricken with many inaccuracies, but it reads better that way and saves me the research.

Isaac Newton did the math. He figured out the relations of the sun and the planets in our solar system, how their orbits work, the speeds,the distances etc.

He gave his calculations through to an engineer and asked him to build it exactly to scale according to his design.

A few weeks later, the engineer presented the model. There were some little mistakes which prevented the correct functioning, but they were soon cleared up. The model (complete with planets orbiting) was installed in the lounge, to his wife's dismay (see,I told you it's an inaccurate fabrication).

One sunny day, his atheist friend came round. At seeing the planet-model, he was amazed.

"Who made this??"

"No one made it. It just appeared. Fell out the sky, so to speak"
