Well does it? Most religious people and hardcore scientists today are often incline to believe that atheism and evolution are rigorously intertwined. According to the majority (us), we are thought to believe that if one is to accept evolution as the explanation for life on Earth, it usually leads that person to become an atheist.
The problem I have with this assumption is that I don’t agree with it. Contrary to popular belief, evolution actually doesn’t explain anything about the origins of the universe, the world, or life in general. You can say Evolution is more of an explanation on the development of life. I personally believe a person can accept evolution as an explanation for the advancement of life, and the diversity, while still being able to believe that the Earth and life were first caused by God. Therefore, there’s no reason why a person can’t be a theist and at the same time accept the theory of evolution. Thoughts? |

There are no origins of atheism. Atheism is just the opposite of theism. It's not any sort of organized doctrine or anything...at all. Simply a word used to describe those who do not subscribe to theistic theories. There's no movement or beliefs or anything that goes along with being atheist, and no one "started" atheism. So, Tama, no one knows what you're talking about, because there's no such thing as the origins of atheism. It's a contrasting word, like light to dark.

So, Tama, no one knows what you're talking about, because there's no such thing as the origins of atheism. It's a contrasting word, like light to dark. Actually atheism is derived from satanism. So just because you don't know what I'm talkin about doesn't mean it doesn't hold weight. The problem here is that people who don't know what I'm talkin about haven't taken the time to learn history nor origins. Like I said before, satanism is to Christianity, like atheism is to Baptist Christian. Except with atheism which is a sect of satanism neglects any sort of omnipotence and doesn't have a specific faith in anything other than self and self only. To sit here and tell me that the obvious is not true is just mind boggling as both have nearly the same agendas. What I smell in here is that atheist are scared to admit the fact of the matter because people have labeled satanism as evil and evil only. Having that sort of origin would automatically catch attention on a negative perspective. Which would then probably make them lose all creditability. Atheism existed AFTER satanism. Because before satanism and satan himself, people didn't have the thought nor the concept of a God existing or not, the word God most likely never even existed prior to Satanism. In those times it was just humans experiencing life. |
