It was very delightful to speak with you and SeekerSA. As I stated, I am not out to win an argument; most often, in speaking with an unbeliever about God and logic and reason for beliefs, the Christian will usually lose the argument. And I've already stated the purpose of my posts.
Look at it as another step in your search for knowledge about the Scripture and life. My advice is to keep searching and I believe you'll find very little in the Bible, as I did. Many of us atheists were at the same place as you before we realized the error we had made.
The "perfection" you see in the environment is an illusion.
The environment is, in fact, extremely unstable and dynamic. It is constantly undergoing violent change and transformation. Trouble is, the changes happening all around us all the time are happening far too slowly for human beings to perceive. The mountains and the sky and the hills and the valley may look eternal and in harmony, but they aren't. If we lived hundreds of thousands of years, we'd realize that.
All of recorded human history has occurred in a window of unusually hospitable weather following the end of the last ice age. There have been may times prior to that when environmental conditions were far less hospitable to humans.
(Bolding mine.)
I disagree.
Using the words "extremely unstable" and "constantly undergoing violent change" don't gibe well with the fact that instability and violent change takes hundreds of thousands, or millions, of years.
Just because Mother Earth was less hospitable to humans millions of years ago, and may again be millions of years from now, doesn't mean she isn't perfect. We're the parasites. She's the host. If she feels a tad inhospitable every eon or three, who's to blame her?
We'd scratch that itch if we could too.
Or try to develop a vaccine if something injurious was infesting us.
Atheists, do not annoy me. I speak to them like anybody else. I would pray for them to realize God loves us more than we can understand. I would pray that get to know Jesus Christ and how he protects and loves us, but I would not be annoyed by them. I love atheists, like anybody else. Paul , who wrote much of the new testament was an atheist turned soldier for Christ!!
Also, there is no such thing as 'so-called science' Science is science. Science can come to wrong conclusions, but that is what is nice about science. It is not dogmatic. You can refute an incorrect scientific conclusion and not get burned alive for it.
Being atheist.. I have no care what people are as long as they are good to each others
