If they don't want to believe, then don't believe, it's that simple.  No need to try and come up with crazy scientific stuff.

Having been in Israel, I know the weather conditions. I don't need science to prove my beliefs. They can come up with logic or reason or faith or whatever...I still believe. The world needs to try to disprove Scripture. It makes them feel good. And, while science may give them what they want; it won't give them what they need.

Because you are a human being, you have a right to believe what you choose to believe. If someone doesn't like it, that's their problem, not your's.

That's why they call it faith. You either believe or not.

Don't confuse them with facts.

People tend to leap to an easy conclusion or rationale when they think they are unable to understand the theory or the topic.  This occurs when they don't want to be embarrassed or when they are being "cute" to cover up their self-doubts.

Gullible idiots are not going to allow observable scientific fact to stand in the way of a good myth.

Atheists want to convince people there is no God because Atheism is a religion too... a belief system that they think (hope) is right.

They grab onto anything they can that seems like it could discredit evolution, because ID is a non-argument. They don't want to understand what a theory is, they just want to point out that it is different from a fact. Of course, there is an even larger qualitative difference between ID and fact ... hehe.

If you think religion has all the answers - good for you, Just don't use pseudoscientific theories with HUGE logical lacunae to try and disprove anything even remotely scientific alright?

Ahh the ignorance, I love it.  They might as well just say "I don't want any facts, don't teach me anything, I just want to believe".

Agree 100%. If they supposedly are happy then they definitely wouldn't be on here refuting it. They are not atheists but ANTI-THEISTS full of hate.

None really - science is a methodology.  The scientists might have faith in all sorts of things -but science itself does not.

a great deal of science is supposition, just as the interpretation of the bible.  if someone laughs, they are not knowledeable or scientific, they are simply small.  If you know what you know then no one can take that away from you.\nI believe in many of the things in the bible as literal.  One of my main complaints of the many 'bible thumpers' is that they misuse that to their benefit.  instead of taking a chapter, so as to get the meat of the message, they will choose paragraphs, or even more silly, single phrases, as meaning what the bible is saying.  Now that is ludicrous and totally unscientific.  even in the realms of philosophical physics of the universe, they incorporate and study all the works, beliefs, and suppositions that went before in order to arrive at their own, as far as possible, provable beliefs.  No one who has not studied the bible from every aspect has the right to downplay anyone's spiritual beliefs.  in this world no one has the right to ridicule anyone. a person's belief structure is just that, their own.  if another disagrees, so be it, that does not mean my own beliefs or yours are any less valid.

This problem come from a basic belief that there is no absolute truth.  If they don't believe there is anything that is absolutely right or wrong, then they feel they can make it up as they go along.

Some may do it for the same reason religious people send missionaries out.  They want to share their perception of the truth with those who they see as lost.  Maybe you should look past the annoyance, and be grateful they care.\n\nOthers may do it because they find it unbelievable that people can believe in something so simplistic.  These athiests may be disdainful of people who believes something just because it feels good, and they (religious people) refuse to see things as a rational person would because they don't want to rock the boat in which their beliefs are floating.\n\nOthers may be tired of all the religious people who think that whatever the higher being is running everything (if there is a higher being) belongs to christians/muslims/etc.. just because these people have named it/him and have outlined all his characteristics, etc.\n\nAnd maybe people are bored on a Saturday night and they have found there is more action in the religion & Spirituality section than in the household cleaning section (if there is even such a section).

These are stereotypes.  The saying asks us not to believe them.\n\nSeems simple enough to me!

Atheists just don't believe at all. Good, bad or indifferent it's irrelevant.
