Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

I find it interesting - these forces that don't care about you or your survival caused you to care about both. How does that happen?

You still haven't explained how knowing what I will do means I didn't do it of my own free will.

I think we've discussed that often enough that we're not likely to make any more headway on the topic. In short, evolution can produce beings who care about themselves and their survival, even without forces that care about those beings or their survival.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.
