Questions For Atheists

[Babylon]

I don't strictly believe in it, but it's the most viable situation.

I'd take universal explosion backed by science over cosmic jewish zombie who died to cleanse us from the thing he put inside of us any day.


EDIT: I also loathe this defeatist bullshit where everyone states that us stupid apes cannot possibly know how the universe started. Guess what? We couldn't fathom gas powered cars in the 1400's.

You think isaac newton found his discoveries via ipad? No. Stop giving up like gigantic pussies, strive for answers instead of giving up before you even start the search.

DOUBLE EDIT: Why did you format this as a question to atheists? The Big Bang is in no way a tenant of Atheism, my cousin is a Christian who believes in Big Bang cosmology, for example.

lol Why y'all keep bringing up the Bible?

Who said anything about that? I didn't tell y'all to believe in it or the Qu'ran
This ain't that convo...

I'm not about to defend anyone's beliefs

Just saying the Big Bang is a fairy tale...

My little cousin likes fairy tales too guys
Being the grinch that I am if she asks me if it's true, I'll simply tell her no
It's fake just like Santa

Your closed mindedness and lack of willingness to actually learn something has been noted.

You will no longer be held as a candidate to have any semblance of actual conversation with.

EDIT: Even though this directly contradicts the above statement, I'd like to know how you think the universe came to be, OP.

the thing about human beings that separate us most from other creatures is the drive to learn, atm not all of us are willing as much, but still there's hope and the fact this thread was created is a good thing


learning is evolution

Learning is everything. We'd still be bashing sticks together without it, yet you have people like @SuperGuy who LITERALLY believe that school is bad for us.

Humanity is an amazing, yet astoundingly ignorant machine.

^Atheism and Agnosticism can be held by the same person simultaneously.

An Agnostic atheist is atheistic because they do not hold a belief in the existence of any deity, and agnostic because they claim that the existence of a deity is either unknowable in principle or currently unknown in fact.

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, matter (and energy) can neither be created nor destroyed. So to answer your question about where all this matter came from, the answer, according to the Big Bang theory, is that it has always been here. Every molecule, every atom, every material object is composed of mostly empty space. If you sucked out all of the empty space in, let's say the Empire State building and left only the solid matter, it would amount to less than the size of a grain of rice, although it would be a super heavy grain of rice. So according to the theory, the whole universe, devoid of empty space, was once the size of an acorn. It then exploded and has been expanding ever since. A bigger question might be where did the empty space come from? According to the theory, space and time didn't exist until a fraction of a second after the explosion. The biggest mystery is figuring out precisely under what conditions they were created.
But just as a sidenote, one question I've always had is: if the universe is expanding, what is it expanding in? To say something is expanding is to suggest that there is a larger body outside of that thing. For example, I can fill a balloon with air and it expands. It only expands because it is in a much larger room, within which it has space to expand. But the orthodox concept of the universe is that it IS EVERYTHING, so there could be nothing outside of it for it to expand in.
