Why do atheists believe in evolution despite the fact that no transitional fossils have ever been found, and the dating techniques used to say the earth is older than 6000 years are all flawed and inaccurate?
Science actually agrees with the biblical account of genesis. Darwinian pseudoscience has just distorted things to look like science is somehow in conflict with the christian creation story.

>> No.3010502

>>3010484
No, here's the thing, in the majority of vestigial organs we DO know the function, or their previous functions. Vestigial organs are not some mysterious thing in biology. They are created by evolution and explained for by evolutionary theory.

A vestigial organ is an organ that once served some purpose but now serves a diminished or different purpose.

The appendix, for example, was larger in our ancestors and presumably aided in food digestion. Over the course of human evolution, our diets changed and there was no selection pressure for a normal sized appendix, and negative selection pressures took over: the appendix shrunk to the size it is today.

The tailbone is another vestigial organ. It has an important use, but it is not the original use it had as a tail. The bones in the tailbone were re-purposed sometime in our evolutionary history for muscle attachments.

Just because something is vestigial doesn't mean it doesn't have a purpose.

You'd know all this if you took a high school biology course.

Atheism is not a religion. It is a lack of faith. A lack of faith is not faith. Not collecting stamps is not a hobby. Atheism is not the Big Bang theory and it is not the theory of Evolution. Science is not a religion, it is a method for discovering new knowledge. Atheism is only a religion in the same way that not believing is Santa Clause is also a religion. The burden of proof lies on people claiming that a god exists. There is no purpose for our existence, only causes. Morality is independent of religion. Actions done under the belief that punishment awaits are impure. "Good" and "bad" are only human perceptions.
Religion is the epitome of ignorance, it is a deadly ignorance. It is an abomination and insult to reason. It is a political tool used to control large populations. It is a security blanket for those that fear death. It is a cheap answer to questions that science cannot at this time explain. It is the result of a lack of information. Religion is holding mankind from it's potential. It still exists because of tradition and an emotional reponse to reject harshness of reality.

Why? [citation needed]

We believe in evolution because it is happening right now, see for example lactose intolerance.

People were all naturally lactose intolerance, until we started to use animal milk as a food source, so our bodies adapted so we were able to digest milk our whole life.

Yes, he can create a rock so heavy he couldn't lift it. No, this wouldn't contradict his omnipotence. See a contradiction? Well, there isn't one in the realm of the supernatural. God can make everything make sense, because he's omnipotent.

Frankly this lactose evolution bullshit doesn't make historical sense, since Indians have been domesticatting cows for the purpose of milk for thousands of years (before the recent "evolution" of lactose tolerance). They don't kill and eat them or drink their blood. So why the fuck would they raise cows? For pets? Huge smelly pets? They drank their fucking milk!

Oh I get it. What happens when a lactose intolerant person drinks MILK? They get naseous, they puke. So here we have Indians who have made cows sacred (not killed) for at least 4000 years, and raising cows before this time. Why would they do that? Why would they raise animals that made them sick and puke? Are you going to move the timeline for this "evolution" back to account for this? Then it isn't a recent adaption at all, now is it?
