How do you trully define Atheism? Your own words.

[Filthy Bay Ent]

evolution is not a "thing"...

anything and everything in context is a thing

 

[2-0-NINE]

Spiritual Blindness

 

[ColdBlooded]

The disbelief by an individual(s) in the existences of god(s) and/or divine creator(s) and their respective religions’ (organized or otherwise) divine inspiration or purpose.

 

[HiT-2-TiMeS]

science has not proven that god doesnt exist, yet atheists believe that god doesnt exist.

they havent because its impossible to prove that something like that doesnt exist....what kind of proof could they ever possibly come up with?

Foolish, Blinded

Yet, there is no HARD eveidence of a diety. So how exactly are athiests the "foolish, blinded" ones?



I dont beleive in god, but i dont fully accept everything scientists say either.

Actually, technically, it is. Evolution is a theroy...and a theory is a "thing".

 

[JLMACN]

^^^Technically, no it is not a thing.

Evolution is a fact. The part up for debate is how Humans evolved.
so Evolution WAS a theory, and still has theories, but the principal definition of evolution is a fact.

Evolution is a THEORY.

See: Darwins THEORY of Evolution.

http://www.darwins-theory-of-evolution.com/

It is a THEORY suypported by FACTS.

Therefore, evolution is a thing...facts are things...

^^^What ThaG is getting at is, it is not a THING that God created.

So in that sense, No it is not a thing.

Well, if thats the case, then ThaG needs to be clear as to what he means. By context, anything is a THING. Age is a thing...writing is a thing....running is a thing....and a theory is a thing.

evolution and evolutionary theory are not the same, always remember that...

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

evolution and evolutionary theory are not the same, always remember that...

Regardless, they are both things...

And yes, things can EVOLVE, but the Evolution Theory applies to living things evolving to better their chances of surviving in a given enviroment...yes?

Note: Natural Selection is a theory. Evolution is a fact.

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

Atheism is the beginning of true philosophy.

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

"Already there are indications that theism, which is the theory of speculation, is being replaced by Atheism, the science of demonstration; the one hangs in the metaphysical clouds of the Beyond, while the other has its roots firmly in the soil. It is the earth, not heaven, which man must rescue if he is truly to be saved. "

- Emma Goldman (from The Philosophy of Atheism)

You summed my sentences up!

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

"The philosophy of Atheism expresses the expansion and growth of the human mind."

"Atheism in its negation of gods is at the same time the strongest affirmation of man, and through man, the eternal yea to life, purpose, and beauty."

-Emma Goldman

no

things are always evolving, the speed varies

evolutionary theory explains the mechanisms through which this occurs

living things are not evolving to better their chances of surviving, this is the outcome of evolution, but it is true for only those traits that affect survival, and it is not as if organisms make a conscious attempts to evolve.. that's where the "The Blind Watchmaker" metaphor comes from

in fact most variation just drifts by random chance because it is not significantly affecting survival
