How Long Will Christians Wait for the End Time to Come?
RE: How Long Will Christians Wait for the End Time to Come?

Quote:My point is quite simple.  Atheists always hide behind a single word when asked to state their beliefs with regards to the origin of matter/life.  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.

Several of us have told you that we don't know what the origin of matter is. No one knows what the origin of matter is, and anyone who says they do is deluding themselves. At this time, it is unknowable. If we do tell you what we think, it's like you can't even hear us. Many theists before you have taught us to expect this, which is why we don't see much point in dancing to your tune.

Accepting settled science actually IS superior to believing iron age myths. Doing so has taken us to the moon and fed a billion new people.

The current problem is an embarassment of natural and scientific explanations for the origin of matter. The problem is, that we don't have enough evidence to know which one (if any) is correct. We may never be able to answer with certainty the exact origin of life, but what we have today is infinitely better than creation myths from thousands of years ago. It is not the fault of people that did not have access to the knowledge we have today that their ideas for the origins of things were magical. There's much less excuse for it in this day and age.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
