Why do Atheists spend so much time debatng the existence of God?

[Tortino]

Intelligent design is the philosophy of scientific findings. For example, the finding of the complexity of cells via scientific discovery, is it designed? This is a philosophical conclusion rather than scientific. Furthermore, what is wrong in looking at alternative views?

Um, no. Intelligent Design is nothing more than creationism disguised with sciency-sounding language to try to make it sound legitimate. But it's still just creationism with a different bent, and it works basically like this:

The entire universe was created by the Judeo-Christian God as spelled out in Genesis in the bible.

Was the universe created? did it always exist? Is their a cause of the universe?

Things in the universe kind of look like they were designed, so they were definitely made by the Judeo-Christian God.

Who determines if something is designed or not?

Evolution is false because of ______, so that means that biblical creationism must be true.

Christianity and Evolution are compatible. Even Richard Dawkins accepts this.

Oh and to answer your original question, we wouldn't be talking about your god or religion so much if it weren't for the religious coming here to try to show us how wrong we are, or the religious trying to force religion into schools or government.

What is the name of the website?

But you wouldn't begrudge us a place to come and bitch about religion, would you? I visit several different forums but this is the only one I discuss religion on. And religion isn't the only thing we talk about here.

Sounds like a waste of valuable time to me (the religious section for Atheists).
