I disagree: Most athiests are very anti-God. I think the lord put the idea of God into us. Everyone knows there is a a God in reality.
I agree with this, intifallout. I've always been convinced that belief in God is hard wired into our beings. No other creature in the history of the world, as far as we know, has worshipped a Supreme being. But nearly ALL humans do, excepting those who rebel against the idea that they are not all powerful and are accountable to their Creator....all cultures, races and locations. I don't believe in coincidence.
I realize this is old, but it looks interesting.
I read very recently that some scientists do believe that religion may be hardwired. I don't know if that is true. I currently have no sense of the supernatural or of God, though if I were hardwired I would have to posses that sense, would I not? Those recent stone age cultures that have been studied, I think, were animists. They had no sense of God, but did believe in rock, wind, tree, and animal spirits, etc. So God, I don't think, is hardwired. But humans have a great capacity to see order where none exists and to imagine purpose in random events. If a tree falls and kills my neighbour he was being punished. If it falls and kills a man breaking into my house I was being protected. The falling tree doesn't prove God exists, it does show that I have an active imagination and that I am will to assign purpose to random events. This willingness to assign purpose says a lot about the psychology of humans but says nothing about God.
firstly we are made knowing god exists the bible states that man is without excuse for in creation and on our hearts and minds we know god thats why when something really tragic happens we call out to god he made us that way, secondly seek god with all your heart mind body and soul and you will find him eveloution is the devils way of convincing us that god doesnt exist so we will be deceived ending in hell if we havnt followed god its what he wants for he hates gods creation thats us as he wants to be greater than god it will never happen . god so loved the world he sent his son jesus his only son as proof he exists historrically , biblically and scientifically proven any other theory is false so never listen to it even charles darwin denied evolution on his death bead he stated there had to be a creator it is God
