The same way you 'assume' that Zeus, Odin, and lord Krishna doesn't exist. You are atheist regarding all other gods, we just extend that notion 1 more god than you. Morality is a set of rules, that along lessons of history, have proven to be beneficial to our species. I don't murder, rape or steal from people because if everyone did it, our species wouldn't come this far. Besides, you should read your bible, there is in there the same amount of moral and immoral things.
Quote:what is it made of? carbonucleic acid? or how much electric energy does it's impulse have? please scientifically prove that thoughts and opinions are material made of atoms or energy.Its made by the conjunction of electrical impulses and chemical neurotransmitters, please visit a library to learn more, or google it, if you truly want to learn, go at it, we have many evidence of emotions and feelings being mapped to different brain regions. We live in a material world, all that we know is made of matter and/or energy. Granted that we still don't know everything, and its fine to just say "I don't know", but what you're doing is an argument from ignorance, with the normal theist dishonesty of shifting the burden of proof. Its YOU that have to prove that there is something else beyond matter or energy, since you're the one making the claim.
Honestly, you are just rehashing the same old BS new theists here bring here. Do yourself a favour, study hard and from honest sources, not from Xtian snake-oil salesmen websites. On emotions particularly read "Descarte's Error", by the famous neurologist António Damásio.
