Ok, I'm curious to ask. For all those that said they are atheist, What specifically is your reason? Is it because you don't believe in a higher power? Or is it because of a lack of scientific proof? Or something else?
Well to answer the question. Its not a lack there of, but more of an over whelming amount of evindince. As I said before, I arrived to my conclusion through scientific reasoning.
You see its simple, I use to study allot of Mythology. And my other favorite freelance studies were Existencialism, Anthropology, And basic Medical Sciences. Combining them with basic sciences and my understanding of mythology made things very clear.
Using the basic rules of Scientific deduction, The formulation I used brought me to my conclusion. Ecological Evolution, Instermental Desires, And Religious Mythological construction helped to formulate the bases of my conclusion very well.
You see, Through what I do know. The origins of The universe is not concluded and may never be. So I cannot conclude a judgement of any kind to the origins of existince.
Although, we have observed many scientific findings. From what we do know of our universe. It is far more vast then our equipment has been able to track. And the propperties spaces and planets can have many different properties. So it is easy to see how one can cestain life and form a complex ecosystem. seeing that there have been other planetes with simalure properties in near by galaxies.
From our scientific findings. The world was formed billions of years ago. And after a great deal of time, the world went through many stages of evolution. Some where during this course basic life was formed. And after much time, basic micro mutations and adaption, helped to create Macor mutations (Evolution). Down the stage, man began to acimulate more sophisticated thought patterns and conclusion. during the line of our existince what we have become today.
Man is a social beast. he forms his ego through the the enteractions, experinces, and conversiones we share with one another. And because we have a need to prove our existince, We constantly question our reality and seek the gratifacation from one another. Down the line of mentalage we loose our parental figure. And desire the Comfort/Security of another (Husband, Wife, Gods). At the core of mans being is a fundamental encompletioncy. This void creates fear. All our efforts and achievements have been made in the hope of filling this void, and providing proof we exist.
Since man first began to think on a higher scale, he has observed and questioned his world. During his younger days, Man was not as sophisticated. His understanding of the world was very limited. So when he found something he could not explain, we marked it as an act of a God/Monster/Beast/Creature/Ect. For example, Men could not understand Lightening. So he explained it as an act of an angery God "Zues". And through out man existince there have been many different religions. Over time some religions gained popularity, while others died off. "Christianity" flurished while "Noris" died.
Combinding, The answers become simple. Man fears what he does not know or understand. We fear death because he does not know what lies behound. We desire an Answer to our origins. We need acceptince and proof of our existince. And most of all we need answers. The God figure in said. was formulated by early man to explain these things and others they could'nt riddely explain with their limited kowledge. The God figure became populare because it provided Answers, Comfort, Hope, Security, and gave Meaning to our existince here.
Provided the popularity, most religions use the opposite affect to not only draw in people, but lock them in with fear. Such as "Damnation", Most people would like to think there is an after life. And that it's blissful, Rather then agoniseing and painful. So you are givin a loaded choice with most religions. "Worship said God and be faithful, to wich you will be rewarded! Or be damned" sounds like a winning question to me. Givin this is really much of a choice at all.
And seeing as all proof to any gods existince is man made. Or suggestable by idealistic associations. I see no proof of a higher being. I do however, see allot of sciences and educational findings of evolution and coincadince.
Regaurdless of being, conciousness is absalute. even if there was a god. he is nothing more then another conciousness, that of whom is only sepperated in value by the concept of power, is nothing more then another body of conciousness. such as myself who is valued lessed due to lack of power or idealistic of. To force rule due to having power, would be nothing more then tyrany. The concept of ownership is entrinsic value and holds no physical bases on reality. As such, Hell is associted with bad feelings and heaven with good. But take away the fire and torture, and it is just a piece of land. same as heaven without the Bliss and happiness. they hold no real value, other then conceptual desires.
Again these are my views, I am not writing this in affence of anyone.
