THE PHILOSOPHY TO REPLACE ALL PHILOSOPHY Theology, Atheism, and Evolution John Brand brand@onet.net jbrand@indy.rr.com Brand@AOL.com http://www.onet.net/~brand Keywords Origin and structure of the Universe Organization and change of matter Origins of life Proof of Evolution Atheism, Humanism, Agnostic Development of the nervous system and the brain Dreams Development of language Origins of religion ABSTRACT From Genesis to AD 2002 Change in the Universe is random according to the nature of matter and energy. The solar system (Sun, planets, moons, etc.), galaxies, etc. were formed by the condensation of matter/dust by gravity and by the rotation of this matter. The rotation resulted in objects circling each other according to their mass and distribution. The age of the Earth is given at about 4 billion years. For billions of years there was little or no life as we know it, only a mix of atoms and molecules, with no systematic reproductive process. PROOF OF EVOLUTION: As is obvious, every human is different.

Greetings visitors and welcome to the site. The thoughtoccurred to me that many passing through may ask why challenge atheism? http://www.geocities.com/challenging_atheism

Contents General Welcome new visitor Why another site? About the site creator Tips for making great posts ... Discussion board rules About Atheism The myth of weak atheism Challenges for Atheists Is atheism Dangerous? Review of Positive Atheism ... Review of Walking Away About Theism My view on the bible Pain and suffering Assorted Articles Why atheism will lose The Robot Rebellion of Richard Dawkins The Unraveling of Scientific Materialism Atheism Versus Theism Debates Why Challenge Atheism? In short the only reason anyone would say they are a weak atheist is because they realize there is little positive evidence in favor of non-God explanations for such things as the existence of this physical material world we live in. Commonsense suggests if there was strong evidence in favor of atheism there would far more strong atheists than weak. As a result many of the atheist websites and literature spend most of their time launching salvos against theism. The thought being that if theism is discredited than atheism prevails by default. This leads to what I call sound bite atheism. Atheism based on little else than brief essays. This is evidenced by popular arguments such as there is no more evidence for God than Santa or religion is the cause of all wars. Such thought bombs are easily exposed and refuted for being poorly thought out. Yet the march of atheists who visit my site touting what they think is irrefutable logic such as the above continues on.

Or in Spain with 95-98 % catholic, only the half believe about the Christian God ? Because of the fact that in these statistics it is considerated the AFFILIATION...; but this is insufficient if the sociologist, the curious, or the analyst want to understand the reality about any country. The next international short statistic of religion was made with polls, surveys, and others sources in order to know better the real religious status of the countries (if you want, see the

46. The Atheism Web: Logic & Fallacies atheism Web's guide to logic and fallacies in practical reasoning. http://www.infidels.org/news/atheism/logic.html

Map Overview Introduction Common Arguments Freethought Organizations ... Miscellany The Atheism Web Portuguese Hebrew Introduction There's a lot of debate on the net. Unfortunately, much of it is of very low quality. The aim of this document is to explain the basics of logical reasoning, and hopefully improve the overall quality of debate. The Concise Oxford English Dictionary defines logic as "the science of reasoning, proof, thinking, or inference". Logic will let you analyze an argument or a piece of reasoning, and work out whether it is likely to be correct or not. You don't need to know logic to argue, of course; but if you know even a little, you'll find it easier to spot invalid arguments. There are many kinds of logic, such as fuzzy logic and constructive logic; they have different rules, and different strengths and weaknesses. This document discusses simple Boolean logic, because it's commonplace and relatively easy to understand. When people talk about something being 'logical', they usually mean the type of logic described here. What logic isn't It's worth mentioning a couple of things which logic is not.

As you read this, the American Empire is taking its last steps toward eventual destruction, and ultimately its rightful place on the scrap heap of history alongside other failed empires. I must congratulate President Bush on a job well done. The United States has had imperial ambitions since its foundations, however, past regimes had used the fig leaf of international diplomacy and cooperation to hide this fact, and much of the world had cooperated willingly as the United States increased its hegemony throughout. document.writeln( '“' + quote[ quoteIdx ] + '”' ); document.writeln( '— ' + attrib[ quoteIdx ] + '' ); “The world is witnessing a second great power: it is the power of international public opinion, which is forecasting the end of the United States.” — Marwan Fares, www.dailystar.com.lb President Bush, however, has revealed the United States for what it is: An empire with delusions of grandeur rivalling Rome, a sense of self-entitlement rivalling the British Empire, an expertise at propagandizing rivalling the Soviets, and barbarity rivalling Nazi Germany. Each of these empires, and all others, eventually, and sometimes quite quickly, imploded under their own weight and the conflict they caused. And, now that the true ambitions of the American Empire are known, its days are numbered, and its ultimate fate is surely sealed. I shall soon be far from America’s shores, where I will watch with satisfaction the twilight of the last and largest of the world’s empires.

48. Was Hegel Christian Or Atheist? Explores Hegel's relation to Christianity, atheism and paganism in the light of the struggle between the Left and Right Hegelians. Presents a view of Hegelianism as a freedomloving philosophy. http://eserver.org/philosophy/hegel-christianity.html

Up to the English Server! Was Hegel Christian or Atheist? Paul E. Trejo After Hegel's death there was a great clash of intellectuals which the Hegelian theologian David Strauss called the clash between "the Left Hegelians and the Right Hegelians." The Left Hegelians were atheists, led by the ex-minister Bruno Bauer and his famous follower, Karl Marx, and by the radical editor Arnold Ruge and the radical egoist whose real name was not Max Stirner. The Right Hegelians were Christian fundamentalists. They found Christian inspiration in Hegel's philosophy, and they condemned David Strauss' progressive New Testament critique, The Life of Jesus . Strauss also took his inspiration from Hegel. He showed how the earliest Christian communities altered the Gospels with their local traditions. Albert Schweitzer praised his book as epoch-making, and by today's standards the book is tame. But it was the 19th century death-knell for Hegelian scholarship. Strauss defended himself by accusing Hegel himself of ambiguity on the subject. Bruno Bauer was living evidence of this. Bauer was first the leader of the Right Hegelians, and led the damnation of David Strauss' theology of demythologization. After more years of reflection, however, Bauer turned coat and became the leader of the Left Hegelians. (In either role, Albert Schweitzer praised Bauer's scholarship as world class.) Scholars for generations have reviewed the arguments of the Left and Right Hegelians, and are still divided on the question: Was Hegel a Christian or an atheist?

53. Atheism, Christian Theism, And Rape atheism, Christian Theism, and Rape by Michael Martin. http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/michael_martin/rape.html

Library Modern Michael Martin : Atheism, Christian Theism, and Rape (1997) Order books by Michael Martin here. Atheism, Christian Theism, and Rape (1997) Michael Martin One of the more dramatic debating maneuver used by Christian apologists against atheists is to argue that atheists can provide no objective reason for not raping people. This startling claim follows from the apologists' wider claim that atheists can provide no objective moral reasons for anything. In this paper I will examine both claims in context of the debate between atheism and theism. I will maintain first that the theists' assume without good argument that an atheistic morality must be subjective. Second, I will argue that the theistic position on rape does not escape a special case of the Euthyphro dilemma:[ ] Does God disapprove of rape because it is bad or is rape bad because God disapproves of it? On the first interpretation of the dilemma theists can provide objective reasons for not raping, but so can atheists. On the second interpretation, theists can provide no objective reasons for not raping so that if atheists cannot, they are no worse off than theists. To be sure, some theists attempt to escape from the dilemma by appealing to God's character. But I will argue that they do not succeed and in fact beg the question against atheists. Finally, I will maintain that the Biblical view of rape should not be our moral guide: Not only does the Bible seem to condone rape on certain occasions but its attitude toward female victims of rape is insensitive and chauvinistic.

Search the Web. Type it and go! What is atheism? (also some thoughts on theism and agnosticism) The thoughts expressed below are mine. I haven't directly used any material as a source in writing this definitional essay although I should give credit to George Smith and the paper "Freethought Today" for the insights they provided when I read them over a year before writing this. I'm sure there are other sources that I have read in the past which have influenced the thoughts below, but they don't come to mind at the moment. Some of the most poorly understood words are: theism atheism , and agnosticism . In the following paragraphs, I will attempt to provide a definitional framework for the three words. I'm confident that many people who read this will still choose to define the words differently than I. The purpose of the definitions is not to establish some sort of absolute truth but to provide a working definition that at least I can point to and say, "this is what I think the definition is, and this is how I use these words". If you find the definitions useful, feel free to 'label' yourself using them and direct anyone to this site who doesn't know why you call yourself by one (or more) of these terms. Perhaps the biggest reason the above words are misunderstood is that theists tend to define atheism, atheists tend to define theism, and

Zoophilia Today is a new day. And we will conquer tomorrow, the way we offered our heartfelt honesty to this day. We will give the world a new a hope, an old reason, and an all around common purpose. The obstacles blocking us from happiness can be achieved only through liberation. One more brick, one more wall. Through the destruction of our bondage to these cruel myths, to the unflinching superstitions, the commonplace dogmas by tearing ourselves off from these vindictive beasts, we are becoming free. And if we can enlighten others, and show humaneness and compassion, the flame of reason and the music of reason, then we are liberating others. And if we can do this, then we really have achieved the plateau of liberty: the open fields of happiness, every cloud so amazing that you swear you never saw one before, the land so inviting that you call it your home even without a house. Purpose without vengeance, passion without hate, love without hurt, religion without supernaturality, beauty without tangibility, action without oppression, life without lifelessness. Today is a new day, and our time in the battlefields has passed. The flashing beacon of duty is calling, and we will forever be living in the soothing light liberty, as long as we are attend to the blood-rushing profession of liberators.

Approximate Reading Time: 6 Minutes January 1 2003 Edition Note: If you have only recently left Jehovah's Witnesses, this article may not be for you, as it does not deal with the challenge of overcoming JW indoctrination. This article will mainly interest those people who are at a later stage of recovery. Introduction "How can somebody not believe in God?" People who have believed in God for all or most of their lives can scarcely imagine otherwise. reason for it all. Moreover, theists (people believe in God) never feel completely alone, and they have an organized set of principles (in the Bible, or the Koran, or whatever) to give structure to their lives. However, knowing that an idea is helpful does not tell us if it is true or false. For example, in the past people believed that problems stemming from incest were punishment from a god. Some still do. However, most of us now understand that it is a matter of genetics, not divine retribution. The explanation was wrong, even though the advice (i.e. to avoid incest) prevented a lot of suffering. It is easy to conclude there is a god at work when there is a mundane (but unknown) explanation. People have, at times, conducted rituals to bring rain to water the crops. When these rituals failed, they assumed they had done them incorrectly, or the gods were angry with them. When they worked, they considered it proof that the gods had smiled upon them. Yet it was simply a matter of meteorology: sometimes it rained and sometimes it didn't. There's no evidence that some gods were paying attention in this matter.

57. The Atheist And His Atheism. The bottom line is that atheism is a false belief system composed of foolsit's not newthe Bible told us about atheism thousands of years ago. http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/atheism.htm

The atheist and his atheism. keywords: atheism, God, atheist, Jesus, agnostic, Christianity, religion, philosophy Atheism is defined by Webster's New World Dictionary as, "1. the belief that there is no God, or denial that God or gods exist. 2. godlessness" . An atheist, therefore, is a person who believes that there is no God. But what does the Bible say? The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. PSALMS XIV:I Atheism is a belief system that ardently denies the existence of God. God calls the atheist a FOOL. Many atheists spend much time and effort attempting to "disprove" that God exists. According to Romans chapter 1 they know that He exists, but they want to control their own lives and not submit to the Lord. They are actually rather tragic figures just like any other unsaved individual. It is hard to live out their atheism if they did, they'd actually be considered crazy like O'Hair was. The atheist's RELIGION (which is simply a system of beliefs based on a philosophy) of atheism is simply a way to try to block out and override the truththe ol' ostrich-head-in-the-sand technique: If you try to tell 'em the truth, they say "Shut up!"

Atheism and pantheism: religious atheists Principles of scientific pantheism* by Paul Harrison. Featured, Dec. 12, 1996. Are you a pantheist? Find out now at Scientific Pantheism. Pantheists don't just want to be negative about Gods and heavens beyond this world. They want to be enthusiastically positive about this life, this earth, this universe. Many famous atheists have had the same feelings. Theists and other critics have often regarded pantheism as atheism in disguise. Yet atheists often mistrust pantheism and see it as theism in disguise. Some atheists are so concerned with combatting the enemy - theism - that they leap to the opposite extreme, reducing life to blind selfish genes or the universe to bleak meaninglessness. But many atheists - even among the best known and most militant - have also had powerful feelings towards nature and the universe: feelings of reverence, love, awe and sense of belonging to nature and the material universe. Below on this page you will find quotes that show these feelings very clearly, from Hume, d'Holbach, la Mettrie, Shelley, and Sagan. They are so close to the feelings that believers have towards their deities, that they may be called religious. This is exactly the position of scientific pantheism.
