Evolution as evidence for atheism
#47
RE: Evolution as evidence for atheism
If we can create things that are more complex than ourselves, this is only possible because we actually have an explanation. If we were to come out of nothing without any explanation then that would be a lot more complex and improbable. But since we have an explanation for us (evolution) this sort of problem doesn't arise, however, God, lacking an explanation (at least as far as I'm aware), leaves the same question when addressed to him, unanswered.

It could be defined that when existence starts the universe starts. So for what reason would it itself need an explanation? How is God necessary? We on the other hand need an explanation because we aren't defined as the first thing that exists, and moreover, as you know, we obviously aren't the first thing that existed. We are necessary for the things we create as far as we know, because as far as we know (at least many of the things we create) they can't create themselves (at least yet). They are artificially created by us, unlike us, we evolved.
