Antibiotics work less and less to the point that are now almost worthless and miracles are also very very rare and nobody should really rely to.  Lightbulb

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Very good vorl however there is a problem.
Human endeavor in physical science although necessary can only try to keep the head of humanity off the water for a while but it will never be able to keep the head out the water permanently so as one problem is solved another one pop up as per magic.

A different type of science is therefore needed but this is something that will pop up in the mind of materialists later on and when they will be sick and tired to  Banghead.  Smile

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I always knew that atheists believe in miracles FM.  Think

Here I got a small list of atheists miracles but the list is endless.  Indubitably

1) Life come from non life.
2) The consciousness is a product of the brain.
3) When the body die also the consciousness die.
4) Physical science is the real McCoy.

and.....................blah,.........blah,........blah,...........

But don't worry too much brother FM because once you get out the corral of dogmas  Banghead you too will be able to see the light.
The light that allow a blind person to see for the first time ever.  Lightbulb

It's not a miracle if you can explain it and even test it.

Okay, first of all you are listing the positions of materialists or naturalists rather than atheists.  I know a few people who don't believe in God who are still spiritualists.

Second, you are listing such positions inaccurately.

1) We know life comes from non-life because the carbon atoms in your body, for instance, are exactly the same as non-living carbon atoms.  Life comes from the complex interactions of non-living materials.  Nothing about life violates the laws of physics.
2) Consciousness is a process of the brain.  It is an emergent property of a complex arrangement of matter, just like life is.
3) Bodies do die.  Does consciousness?  I would say, rather, that consciousness disappears, since consciousness is a process rather than a being.  So for instance, if your computer malfunctions, the screen may go dark.  But if you fix the computer, it will work again.  The only difference is that the physical components of the body degrade very quickly when the system isn't working, so you only have a short time to fix them.
4) Physical science is a detailed description of reality that works.  It depends on observations rather than speculations.

It's best to avoid strawman arguments.  There's nothing miraculous about materialism if you know the details.  It's just the way the world works.

It isn't a good reason, but it is all they have.

Another reason for not accepting evolution might be that, knowing little Rik, trump and evangelicals are all considered human, why would any monkey wish to evolve?

Yeah.  He's not around as much but L/R is just as big an asswipe as G-C and dripshit.

Poor insecure little fuck thinks he needs a special invisible friend to watch over him.
