Why I am an atheist
We could go all through the drill and we could fight about every little thing but here I will pursue just a couple of reasons why the faith, to me, seems a bit far fetched. Of course there are many more.
For starters it is said that man was created in Gods image, if we do indeed look like god I wonder why god has legs when, for a very long while, before the creation of anything, there was no place to stand.
Now that that is out of the way we will continue with the construction of man. I will simply disregard all the evidence of evolution while simply stating that many, if not most, mainstream religions have no problem with that. I am simply concerned with God as a craftsman.
Remember at the root of all this is the notion that God is all knowing, all powerful and omniscient. A know everything, do anything kind of guy.
Wouldnt you think that such a supreme craftsman would at least insure that his creation could stand the test of time, that it would retain all that made it such wonderful thing in the first place?
We dont. Neither man nor any other creature, large or small, breeds 100% true. There are all kinds of abnormalities and mutations, both good and bad but the overwhelming majority are bad. At least from our viewpoint. This, to me, seems a terrible design flaw.
Two more small things from the construction viewpoint. Why would anyone, purposely, create a being that had to be inoperative for a third of its existence? Yet here we are, comatose eight hours a day and loving it all. Second, why would anyone, God or not, create man with with four appendages and two have two of them of them inferior in function? The whole idea of handedness makes no sense if one is searching for good design and efficiency.
Can anyone help me out? Remember I have no quarrel with non radical religions. Anyone can believe what they want so long as it does not hurt anyone else. I just wonder how these few small questions can be addressed within the religious dogma.
I would prefer we stay on point but if you must hurl invectives and insults with your explanation I understand
