Yes, atheism is not a defined belief system but that doesn't mean you, as a human being, are not capable of having an internal belief system as to the origin of matter. Atheists always like to attack others for their belief system as it pertains to the origin of matter but they never like to talk about their own beliefs. Any belief you have, as it pertains to the origin of life, is not superior to the belief system of a Christian or any other person. There is, and will never be, a natural or scientific explanation for the existence/creation of all matter. Isn't it interesting we have the capability to think abstract about the origins of life yet we clearly lack the tools to ever answer the question? We have not better answer today then we had 6,000 years ago. The big bang is nice theory expect there is absolutely no explanation for what created matter prior to the big bang.(August 30, 2015 at 1:05 pm)deep thinker Wrote: Your belief system is the big bang and a "primordial soup" that existed after the big bang. There is no evidence to explain how matter and anti-matter (if anti-matter even exists) came into existence. Your belief system has no logical explanation for the creation of all matter. Your belief system is not superior to any religion and it makes you very upset and that is why you attack with insults. I have notices that atheists are very quick to throw out insults when their belief system is challenged. Isn't this suppose to what theists do? I seem to be keeping my cool. Interesting.
Two things:
1) As has been explained to you, atheism, per se, is not a belief system. If you want to argue against metaphysical naturalism, that's one thing. But as things stand, you're painting with too broad a brush.
2) With reference to the part of your quote that I bolded, you can't seriously think that Yahweh is a "logical explanation for the creation of all matter". And if you do, you may be earnest. You certainly aren't serious.
There's nothing wrong with admitting ignorance. We don't know how matter came into existence. Pretending otherwise with conceptual band-aids like "God" don't add one iota of understanding to the problem. This really isn't hard to understand, and you should stop pretending you don't get it.

Yeah, like theists never insult anyone.

This is the third time I have said this to you... maybe bigger letters might help:
ATHEISM IS NOT A BELIEF SYSTEM
Anyone spot the clue?
Stop hiding behind a word. My point is simple. As a human being with the ability to think in the abstract, your personal beliefs as it pertains to the origin of life/matter is not superior to anyone else. You, as a person, have a personal belief system as to the origin of life.
