Alright, this is sort of in response to Podo's (monster's) "feeble attempt" thread.
I'm an atheist. I don't believe in the existence of any god whatsoever. Any questions?

What flavor of atheism are you eating?

Explicit weak.

I don't deductively posit the non-existence of any god (but a few specifics). I merely lack a belief in any spiritual entity that resembles a god - mainly due to a lack of evidence and the incoherence and inconsistency of most god models. My position is that atheism is the most reasonable, probable, and consistent of "world views".

What is your theory of how we are what we are? How did we get here? Like equivalent to God putting us here.

I don't know. I don't have the resources to confidently decide on any absolute or conclusive (all-encompassing) answer. These cosmological issues are heavily philosophical and often outside of our current grasp and scope. Although, given the contents of the universe, the observed phenomenon within, and our current science, I do believe that all has followed from purely materialistic and naturalistic mechanisms.

I do believe in the reality of a sort of Big Bang (in order to explain the observed hyper-expansion of the universe). I do believe in abiogenesis (as the most rationalistic position towards the emergence of life). And, I am a very firm believer in descent with modification - I wholly subscribe to the modern evolutionary synthesis (the theory of evolution).
