Ecolox Wrote:What do you mean "the 'beginning' of the universe"? Don't atheists think that, at the very least, the potential for our current predicament has always existed? Now, how does that work?
Also, why do you define atheism in terms of human evolution? If atheism only requires a lack of belief then even a box of rocks qualifies as atheistic - so shouldn't you say atheism has remained exactly the same for eternity - long before the beginning? Wouldn't that be more accurate? "Build your house on atheism, been around since before the beginning".
You are correct about atheism, i was using a form of dramatic presentation of data

Theism begins with society, and i initially compared atheism to that. Then i went further, to state that everything in existence has always been naturally atheistic. Since the very 'beginning' (is there a beginning to a cycle?), atheism has stretched across the universe (multiverse + separate dimensions?).
However, theism has only been around since society, and your specific 'Christian' belief has been around for less than 2100 years.
@ fr0d0: The new isn't always stupid... but Christianity certainly is. And

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
