Non-Evolutionists?

[JaceDeanLove]

I was just wondering if there are any atheists who have a different view on the origin of species than evolution...

Don't know any personally...
maybe the new age crowd could be of service there...

I'm sure there are. Atheists can be just as wrong as anyone.

Except about there being no fucking evidence for any gods.

Nope. Evolution makes more sense to me than dirt golem and rib wife having babies, then having sex with their offspring while their offspring have sex with each other.

I don't know about these other guys, but I was created by the dark lord Sauron in the mines of Narshe, from some Esper he impregnated called Shiva. I know this because it just makes sense.

Meh, a really large part of me isn't that concerned with the past. It's the future I try to focus on.

It's America still one of the only countries lagging behind in mass proportions for acceptance of evolution?

Don't forget the metric system and free or reduced price education. What the hell is the motivation for being smart if you have to go eyeball deep in debt just to do it.

Well, technically speaking, evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life. Of did you mean species as in plural? As in there being more than one species because they evolved? I'm...badly over thinking this, aren't I?

Well, I'm not sure what alternate explanation for life could be given by an atheist, except maybe aliens. Of course, then you need to ask where the aliens came from. Scientologists don't technically believe in a god, do they? I guess there's an example.

It sure looks that way. http://www.gallup.com/poll/170822/believ...igins.aspx

Between 40% and 47% of Americans over the past 32 years have said the creationist explanation for the origin of human life best fits their personal views. These Americans tend to be highly religious, underscoring the degree to which many Americans view the world around them through the lens of their religious beliefs. Those who adopt the creationist view also tend to have lower education levels, but given the strong influence of religious beliefs, it is not clear to what degree having more education or different types of education might affect their views.

A number of states have been embroiled in fights in recent years over the degree to which evolution and creationism should be included in their public school curricula. Residents in the South are more likely to believe in the creationist view of the origin of humans than are those living in other regions, making it clear why the fights to have creationism addressed in the public schools might be an important political issue in that region.

Still, few scientists would agree that humans were created pretty much in their present form at one time 10,000 years ago, underscoring the ongoing discontinuity between the beliefs that many Americans hold and the general scientific consensus on this important issue.
