You paint an incredibly bleak picture of atheism. I wouldn't really consider myself much of an atheist anymore, but I don't believe in a creator by any means, so what I say is still valid. In my current line of research I have had to learn about how light behaves (as well as the occlusion, needless to say). I could tell you, mathematically, how light behaves during an eclipse*. But because I know how the light behaves doesn't make an eclipse less spectacular. If an eclipse were to happen right now I would be staring at the beauty like everyone else. Just because I understand the physics doesn't means I can't appreciate it. In fact, if anything, I probably appreciate it more because I understand it! You paint a bleak picture of atheism. And beyond that you paint a bleak picture of having knowledge in general! (*In fact the sun and moon rarely line up perfectly for an eclipse like you say, and most people get solar or annular eclipses. It's a matter of perspective, not design) |
I dont mean to say an atheist is not capable of seeing beauty around them. If I offended or If thats what It seemed I was implying then it was wrong. What I am trying to say is that I dont understand how someone can look into the sky on the darkest night to see a multitude of beautiful stars and think that it all happened through chance of mathematical possibilities. I dont understand how an atheist can look into the eyes of their new born baby and think that it has no significance in this universe whatsoever. I cant understand how an atheist can believe that everything began from a singular point with no intelligent designer behind it. What I am saying is, how can beauty just happen? How is it that we even have math and science to be able to study complex theories? When a total eclipse happens it gives us a rare view of the outer linings of the sun. And I know that an eclipse is not always a full eclipse. How is it that we have color, and our eyes can see in color. I know technically it is the cones in our eyes, but how did colors just happen? Im saying I see all of these amazing elements and views in our universe and say that I can appreciate its beauty because for an intelligent being to create something so wonderful, that intelligent creator must be incredible.
I understand there is no way to measure "God" with science, because it is something in the supernatural realm. supernatural does not fit into science. What Im saying is that just by looking around you, you will see evidence of design if you allow yourself to.You can believe that everything began from a singular point with no intelligent being involved. But any human mind must see that to have matter effect matter there must be energy to effect that matter. A human mind must realize that energy does not come about from nothing. I know you probably won't, but just stop and think of the theory of in the beginning there was a "singular point", and thats where the universe began. A singular point is used in mathematics, so how would it be that a singular point had the knowledge to just appear and begin the universe?
My last point. Are you familiar with the flagellum in the human body? It is in all senses a organelle of locomotion(motor) that is attached to certain cells in many living organisms. In face some of the most basic living organisms possess these including: algae, fungi, and mosses. The base of it contains a hook like structure that acts just like a propeller and can turn clockwise or counterclockwise. This motor helps to move cells along and keep them in motion to allow for respiration and circulation. The flagellum of these cells is a important component for life.When you see a graph of a flagellum you see everything a motor would possess. Is this not a possibility of design? how can matter,which possesses no intelligence, cause a flagellum motor to form on these cells?
How is it that there are so many complexities that exist and then someone can claim that everything began without any intelligence in existence to begin the universe? As I said earlier an atheist cannot understand my belief, and I cannot understand an atheists.
