How do atheists explain theists' adherence to God.

I am Yrger the theist, I love to undertand how atheists think, for they must do thinking for they are rational animals (from Aristotle?) like myself.

Okay, paging all atheists in similarworlds.com, please come forward and explain how and why theists adhere to God.

Thanks for your lengthy post.

Let us have a sustained exchange but in concise language, on the topic "the origin of mankind."

I am theist and you are atheist, so that should be the most productive tournament of wits, yielding so much ideas, facts, and truths - that should enlighten many a soul which seeks explanation on how and why we mankind are in existence.

But hi DocSavage, please make your exposition in concise language, if you have many many many things to tell readers, try to divide them into several short cncise posts, because with so many many many words, it would seem that you yourself don't have any point to make that is sharply focused in your mind.

Or you wrongly imagine that with so many many many words people will be impressed that you are so very learned.

Okay, here we go, tell me about "the origin of mankind."

If this is too much for you to read , have the others here make it more concise for you. Once again, you lose.
We end up in the same place each time , and you never learn a thing.
You asked what does existence imply. But as usual you miss the one fact that destroys your argument. God doesn’t exist .
I exist, this implies that my parents also existed. It implies humans reproduce, and they biologically reproduce after their own kind.
God doesn’t according to you, god has no parents or ancestry.
God doesn’t reproduce after his own kind. According to your earlier threads, god is a spiritual being. He has no biology. He has no biological offspring. There is no human way to establish god’s existence.
Something can not come from nothing. If god is spirit, he , himself is not composed of matter. If he created the universe out of matter ( himself ) then there was never “nothing” until matter ( god) suddenly popped into existence, and decided to make itself into a universe. Which it would than take billions of years to put together, and millions more to populate
With life forms that are totally contrary to his own nature.
You make Gods impossible, so that can do all the things you can’t explain. Nothing within human limitations can imply the existence of a god, without those human limitations. That is why gods live outside time and space, and are not material.
You can prove we exist. You can show the universe exist. But you can not demonstrate any evidence for god you made impossible to prove.
You gave him all those powers and abilities yourself. You can’t break your own rules, without admitting you made them up in the first place.
We get the same results, with no god. In short, you lose again.
