Atheist's Credo
- I believe in no god without having proof of this. In the universe that came from nothing that happened by non sentient chance. It came from a bang according to a Catholic priest.
- I believe the Earth formed to evolve life for the reason of living and learning that will all end at death. All life used trial and error to advance from one stage to the next, yet somehow managed to survive things it did not have the immunity or a priori to prevent or overcome.
- All life evolves, yet some appeared without evolving during the Cambrian explosion.
- I know I come from apes, yet there are missing links.
- I have a conscience because I some how needed to know right from wrong.
- I am self aware because I some how needed to care for the rest of nature and myself.
- I learn with my senses which only sense the perceptual stimuli of things I cannot actually see, hear, taste, smell or touch.
- I use my mind to reason, a mind that is immaterial and cannot rationalize the immaterial existence of the spiritual.
- I believe in reason, logic and evidence. Yet know for a fact God does not exist without using them.
- I believe in doubt, it blankets my reason from superstition such as God; yet knowing matter cannot produce information, I know we have DNA and it evolves.
- I believe I was born from nothing and will die into nothing, yet I have no evidence of this.
- I believe I was born an atheist without having prior knowledge of the concept of God in which to reject.
- I believe science explains everything, even though it brings more questions than answers.
- I believe in atheism because it lifts up humankind. China, Cuba, Castro, Pol Pot are examples.
- I believe in atheism because a thousand hands are more useful than two praying despite those thousand hands belonging to Christians who minister to others.
- I despise the Catholic Church despite it introducing modern science, universities and hospitals to the world.
- I trust Einstein because he was a genius who used reason despite him calling God "old man" when amazed at the complexity of the universe.
- I am an atheist and look forward to having reasons I have no evidence for.
