Strange position to take. The wisdom of men has delivered everything you actually use every day of your life - from running water to microwave ovens to cars to computers to the internet you are currently clogging up with your crap to the clothes you wear, the food you eat......
I'd go as far as to say there isn't a second of your life that isn't reliant on the wisdom of men - yet you don't trust it.
No pleasing some people.

Does the wisdom of men keep your heart beating second by second? Tell me, what is it that keeps your heart beating?

No, atheism just means we don't believe in god.
It is science that says we share a common ancestor with monkeys.
Easy mistake to make, if you have had zero education.
Sorry, my mistake.
Not a problem.
It seems a lot of people wrongfully conflate atheism with science. Probably because religion claimed to have all the "facts" in the olden days. Then along came science and proved most of them wrong.
With the last vestiges of a hope that god can exist lurking in the science we can't do yet because of limitations with our equipment and an incomplete theories.
But science ain't finished yet .
The truth is though that even before science there were people who didn't believe.
They are even mentioned in the bible.
Psalm 14.1
Quote:The fool has said in his heart, There is no God.
Which is a bit of an unwarranted attack I always thought.

Does the wisdom of men keep your heart beating second by second? Tell me, what is it that keeps your heart beating?
And a question out of left field:
OK:
What makes the heart beat? Electricity. But before we can understand what electricity is doing in the body, we first need to understand the parts of the heart and how they work together.
The heart has four chambers, two upper and two lower. The upper chambers are called the right and left atria, and the two lower are the right and left ventricles. A valve connects each atrium with its corresponding ventricle. The tricuspid valve connects the right atrium and ventricle, and the mitral valve connects the left atrium and ventricle. Two additional valves complete the set: the pulmonic valve connects the right ventricle with the pulmonary artery and the aortic valve connects the left ventricle with the aorta. These four valves function like gates, allowing blood to flow in one direction with each heartbeat -- about 2,000 gallons of blood every day.
So what's the power source to keep this system running - and your heart beating?
The heart beats because of a small electrical current generated by the the cardiac conduction system. The cardiac conduction system is a group of muscle cells in the walls of the heart. It's comprised of five major components:
The sinoatrial node (SA node): Known as the heart's "pacemaker", this node fires at regular intervals, causing the heart to beat.
The atrioventricular node (AV node): the electrical "relay station" between the upper and lower heart chambers.
The bundle of His (also known as the atrioventricular bundle): muscle fibers that conduct the electrical impulses that regulate heartbeat.
Bundle branches: Connected to the bundle of His, these lead to the lower ventricals.
Purkinje fibers: Embedded in the subendothelial tissue, these fibers conduct impulses through the heart.
When all these components work together as they should, you have a healthy heart with a beat rhythm of about 60 to 70 beats per minute, or higher, depending on your age and other factors.
Help any?

The irony of this post is delicious.
You desire to change everyone's mind because you believe your answer is the right answer. Yet, as is typical, you approach without an ounce of knowledge of the other side. Now, I know several of your posts have decried knowledge as useless, but it would help you in your little crusade to lead everyone to salvation.
Your posts get brushed aside immediately because you clearly have no intention to engage in any sort of intelligent discourse, which is what forums are for, especially this one. So stop spamming, get your nose out of your Bible, and read a book. No one with a brain thinks anyone is a monkey. It's certainly not a tenet of atheism. There is only one tenet of atheism, and that's this: There is no such thing as a god(s).
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I can honestly say that I do not reject science. I believe science. I believe that within the universe things happen for particular reasons. I just don't believe that everything that claims to be science, is science.

Neither do I. "Intelligent Design", for example.
