God Knows There Are No Atheists

Calvinists for Conservatism ^

The truth is finally out, atheists, and it’s from one of your own science publications!

[Boxen]

Why did you link to a blog instead of directly to the article?

[Boxen]

The article in question, instead of some silly blog.

[balthar33]

“your” science publications? Who wants to frame themselves in opposition to science?

[Richard Kimball]

Scanned the article. Didn't bother going in depth. Unless I missed something, the article is from a pretty athiestic viewpoint. I didn't see anything that indicates man might believe in God because there is a God. It was much more about why man creates gods.

What makes a scientific publication an “atheists’” publication? What makes it one of “their” publications? I’m not an atheist and I love science.

[Ronaldus Magnus Reagan]

I thought it was a very thought provoking article and well written and well sourced & researched as well.

[Longdriver]

From the article: "One leading idea is that religion is an evolutionary adaptation that makes people more likely to survive and pass their genes onto the next generation. In this view, shared religious belief helped our ancestors form tightly knit groups that cooperated in hunting, foraging and childcare, enabling these groups to outcompete others. In this way, the theory goes, religion was selected for by evolution, and eventually permeated every human society .." ????

...everyone knows in their heart of hearts that [Atheism] is utter nonsense.

Actually, its the other way around.

It takes years to deprogram a theistic worldview out of your system when you are raised with it, and I heartily agree that it probably can never be 100% successful. We are very flawed primates.

In the same sense in which dicovering laws of gravity or paying bills on time are “evolutionary adaptations”.
