Atheism

Shows what you know about anthropology. A fossil is a physical record of what a specelis looked like. Get enough examples and you can see evolution in a species.

Don't think we have enough examples. I can't see evolution yet.

What of God?
Who does He/She believe in?
Could God be an atheist?

If there were a god, it would likely not see itself as such, but rather a 'self' type identity in control of a lot of smaller organisms (that in the christian sense it would have nothing but contempt and jealousy for). For it to an an atheist, we require a few things. First, there would have to be a possibility of a super-god. Second, it would have to have some idea of such a concept. Third it would have to decide if such a thing was worthy of its time and consideration.

Armed with all that, I think you can answer your own question...

As a relevant matter though, who cares? Since there's no actual god, it really doesn't matter much what it believes or not, does it?

Seriously, I don't see it. I do not know about anthropology. I was a biology major in college and was still not convinced of evolution after graduating. I do see a lot of people that do not believe in a creator searching for an explanation of how we got to be and choosing evolution. Many who do readily admit the evidence is not rock solid.

BTW last year I was working at a wind tunnel at a large company in the Northwest. Does that give me any credibility?

You have supporting evidence to prove this?

you amaze me with your arrogance that you think you know what it would be like to be a God.

No. Not really.

Seems to that those who not believe evolution happened, is happening and will continue to happen are those who do not understand it.

There is a massive amount of evidence to show that evolution has and is happening. Look att he animals on the galapagose (i know i misspelled it but Im on my phone). There are species there that have common DNA to their main land relatives but have evolved to live in their unique environment.

Evolution is fact.
 
Perhaps this video will help explain evolution to you. It's a some what simplistic explanation but fairly accurate as I understand it.

evolution explained.

Wow! If you majored in biology and don't accept the fact of evolution, you should never have been given a degree and allowed to graduate. Evolution is a basic foundation to the science of biology. In regards to you seeing a lot of people who say the evidence for evolution is not rock solid, perhaps you're hanging with the wrong crowd. They're keeping you down....intellectually.

I've twice pointed out a very compelling case for there being no god. And yet you offer no counter, just more pleas to prove a negative. Anyway, as has been pointed out ad nauseum, the burden of proof rests with those claiming a positive existence of something or event. The default is that the negative is the case until that need for proof has been satisfied.

To wit; we require no proof to assert your claims of their being a god are false, and that there is therefore, no god. You, OTOH, require massive amounts of non-coincidental evidence to support the claim that there is a god does exist, and furthermore, that he is the specific , domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and finally species of god that you all invariably claim.

I'm trying to explain this as simply as I know how, but the way this works is that when you come up with a theory, you need to prove it. If someone else comes along and says "there's no evidence for this. It doesn't exist, and it's obviously harmful to project the assumption of it's proof-less existence on others", they don't owe an explanation, since they're not making a specific claim, rather they're asking you to show your work. All religion, everywhere, has thus far, failed completely and entirely on this count, hence their collective illegitimacy.
 
That's cool! Let's turn the world over to the atheists like Stalin, Pol Pot and other mass murderers. That'll work. At least population control won't be an issue

Studying biology allowed me to learn what science knows and also a lot about what they don't know. I found that you can not be 100 per cent positive about anything. Remember in the seventies when they were sure we were heading into another use age. did not happen.
