You dont understand the concept of God, that’s why you are complaining against everything odd/wrong with your life. God intervene or not is a separate discussion.

Me said, God makes living beings with natural instincts, you can deny this statement by your statement that natural instincts of living beings are result of years of evolution but you posed again an irrelevant question that why don’t God intervene. And you are **yet **to prove years of evolution.

you being an atheist or agnostic have learnt different questions but you don’t know when to pose a question. So I suggest you refrain from such conjectures and just prove what you claim.

in post #21 I asked the question “what makes mother love her child”
in post #22 you replied that it is result of years of evolution.

so I asked you just prove how mother’s love evolved through years of evolution?
however, I take your point in post #38 where you suggest me pick up a college level biology book, and find the answers.

Which concept of god are you talking about? There are so many! Most of the people on earth won’t won’t agree with or accept your concept of god. So, which one in particular are you speaking about? Personally, I like the concept of Odin. He promised to defeat and kill all the ice giants, and I don’t see any ice giants around!

As for me, I have a great life. I never complain to a mysterious wizard in the sky when anything doesn’t go my way. Everything I have is because I worked hard, got graduate degrees, took smart decisions. No sky wizard involved. I and my family have good health because we have great medical care, again because our doctor(s) worked hard in school.

There is a fundamental question you’re avoiding, and I suspect it’s because it negates the notion of a benevolent deity. That being: If evil isn’t subjective, and the notion of good and love comes from a deity, then why doesn’t the deity intervene when evil is committed? If the deity is responsible for a mother’s love, why does he pick and choose the mothers to receive this capacity?

As for proving evolution, there are lots of sources that can help you with that. That’s a task that’s too herculean and voluminous for this. But, it’s available. But I think it’s dubious that you’re asking for proof.

@ajazali

what is the purpose of life? do you think that you existence is meaningless and purposeless?

how evil is subjective? killing an innocent person is an evil, how this act is subjective?

Everyone has to find their own purpose in life. It’s up to you to find meaning. No one defines it for you. My life has a purpose. I have a drive to get up in the morning. I have a drive to be the best person I can be. To be caring, and giving, and selfless, and none of that comes from a a belief in a deity.

As for killing innocent people being evil: That’s a very odd statement. There are suicide bombers in Pakistan that would totally disagree with you. They not only think it holy, but they think it their duty…! I bet they can find justification for it in the same deity that you believe in.

@ajazali

There is a purpose and meaning of life, avoiding the purpose and meaning of life make the human do whatever he/she want, even, evil things like robbery, killing innocent people, and Sexual abuse…
Once you lose the purpose of life, you would find it reasonable to do whatever suits you but not others, so do not just lose the purpose of the life.

That’s an absolutely absurd statement! I’ve never robbed, or killed, or raped anyone! The world’s largest philanthropists, as I mentioned earlier, are all atheists.

So you’re telling me, if you didn’t believe in a deity that you would start raping, robbing, and killing people? That’s a very frightening thought!
