The Faith of an Atheist

Atheism  Disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods

Faith is the assurance that what we hope for will come about and the certainty that what we cannot see exists Hebrews 11:1 (ISV)

Big bang theory is the major world formation theory believed by most atheists because it removes the role of God in World formation.

A curious look at the Big Bang led me to discover some ambiguities and loop holes in theory here are some:

(NB this is an oversimplified version)
1. A packet of energy Smaller than an atom blew up and created all the energy our universe today runs on. Where did the energy packet come from?
2. Stars begin to form, the formed stars blow up (Supernova) while new ones are formed while this happens denser elements necessary for life on earth are formed. Intelligent aren’t they
3. The sun our perfect star is formed. Perfectly distanced to support human life that would come over 3 billion years later.  Coincidence?

4. A few billion years later our earth is formed; an asteroid hits our newly formed home and tilts it to an angle. This tilt gives us our seasons. Coincidence?
5. The asteroid becomes our moon; its gravitational field reduces the speed of the earth’s rotation from 6hrs/day to our present day 24hr/day cycle. Coincidence?
6. Overtime Microbes in the water learn how to synthesize energy from the sun to produce oxygen as a by-product. Where did the bacteria come from? The original big bang released only energy.
7. This oxygen produced eventually rises out of the water, fills the atmosphere and ozone is formed overtime, the glorious ozone that shields us from the sun’s dangerous rays. Coincidence?
8. Our glorious earth is ready

These few points make you stop and ponder, how can someone believe all these? How can one purposely deny the evidence in front of him. The only logical conclusion that could arise from all this asides the presence of a supreme being is that the earth on its own is intelligent , in order to plan all this in the right sequence. Random events cannot bring this kind of sophisticated order form disorder.

Creationists take the easy road, they just believe that God did it and that solves the whole issue and they are called simple because they chose to believe in someone that they can’t see and can’t prove.

Atheists take the harder route they chose to believe that all these events just happened, that’s a whole lot of faith. That’s more faith than simply believing that a supreme being did all this.

The litmus test for an atheist is the absence of faith; all things must be proved empirically. Yet the very basis of their existence is riddled with large chunks of good old fashioned faith. Who then is simple?
