False. I have picture of Him and I at Disneyland.

At the end of the day we can debate till we're blue in the face.

I'm not going to convince you and you're not going to convince me. I just know I have this deep seeded intuition that tells me we were created and that there is a massive spiritual element to what's happening in this world that science could never ever even begin to explain.


Cheers.

1. No.
2. Most don't.
3. Yes, research quantum physics.
4. How do you know Odin doesn't exist?
5. Chemistry.
6. Social evolution over time.
7. No.
8. There are, everything is transitioning based on its environment. Evolution has been proven in the lab with organism like yeast that have thousands of generations in a few years.
9. I live according do unto others what you would have them do unto you.
10. No, because then god isn't a loving forgiving god.

The problem with christians, is evolution is proven true, therefore Christianity is false. There was never and Adam and eve, therefore never original sin, therefore no need for the blood Magick sacrifice of jesus.

That's the beauty of being an atheist! We are always trying to believe as many truth things as possible and as fewer false things as possible. And the key is evidence. With evidence, most atheists can believe anything. Which is not the case for "intuition". Intuition, feelings, faith, none of these are pathways to truth. One can justify anything through faith. One can just say "I believe it so". But contrary to what most people think, belief is not a choice. Belief is the state of being convinced something to be true or as close as possible to true. And having faith, although it is being convinced, lacks evidence, therefore, being convinced without evidence. If I tell you "I have a pet dragon", would just believe me without asking for any evidence at all?
So if you have evidence of this "massive spiritual element", show us! We are more than glad to analyze it!

As C.S. Lewis said in "Mere Christianity" -

In order to disbelieve something, you must first acknowledge that it exists.

Or something like that...

OK, I'm game for a bit... Answer these for me...

THIS IS MY TAKE ON THE QUESTIONS:

1. Do you really believe that science is the only answer to all of life's questions? The scientific method is the best way so far to get closer to the truth. Although there are many logical error along the way, but it can be resolved. although these days the scientific method has been tainted by greed / money. If God exists, the only way to know is through the scientific method.

2. Why do atheists care if people worship God?
Do we keep the kid believing in Santa Claus their whole lives? Wouldn't this be a hinderance for the kid? Adults think that they know better, but they believe in the same exact way. Just because more people believe it, they assume its true. For some reason keeping people's mind in this state causes irrational fears, irrational beliefs of "devils", irrational belief that other people are more of the "devil" type, irrational belief that God allow the slaughter of certain types of people. I remember hearing about Billy Graham's suggestion to Nixon on the strategies of war in Vietnam, Nixon ended up not taking Graham's suggestion as it would cause a little too much deaths.

3. Can nothing create something?
Who said there was a time with nothing?

4. How do you know God doesn't exist?
No way to be sure, but so far there is absolutely ZERO proof anywhere. There is not a single person ever that was able to prove it in any scientific way. Everything was anecdotal. This anecdotal belief system kept Bigfoot story alive even till this day. People believed in Ghosts, until now. And with billions of phones with Camera's not a single photo anywhere.

5. What is the origin of life?
As of now, scientists are able to start very rudimental life forms in the lab. Also, who knows.

6. Where does our morality come from?
Morality is just community agreement to reduce utter chaos. Some people believe that they have morality, but that is empathy. Humans are capable of picturing themselves in other people's shoes. When people watch movies and cry, you cry because the brain thinks you are in the situation. For some reason we are programmed this way. Its some strategy in the game of evolution.

7. If you had evidence of God, would you become a Christian?
Everyone so far became Christians with no proof. The main strategy of Christians is to convince people that "Blind Faith" is the highest form of love for God. And yes, if there is evidence, why would anyone chose to be atheist? The sun is real, is there anyone who denies the sun?

8. If evolution is real, why are there no transitional forms in the present? Transition is occurring right in front of our eyes everywhere. Every single living thing is mutating. Every generation there is change (minus a few animals that makes near perfect copies of themselves) You can see live the transitions of bacteria, virus. The smallest have fastest transition as they can replicate themselves rapidly and in quantity. If humans can breed that fast and in that quantity, it would be more obvious. Every living thing can be traced back with their DNA. Did you know we are related to the Oak Tree? We share DNA with every single living thing on earth.

9. Do you live according to what you believe or do you live according to what you lack in belief?
Everyone is selfish. Helping others is selfish. Everything fall into this reasoning. For example a human is nearly incapable of any action that does not somehow benefit themselves. One time Abraham Lincoln stopped his carriage to help a pig and her babies stuck in mud. Got his suit and shoes all dirty. When asked why he did that, he said that it would have bothered him all day if he hadn't.

10. If God exists, will you not lose your soul when you die?
What if there is a soul and no God? Why do you have to believe exactly what you are told to believe? Have you confirmed yourself? Or did the person who told you confirmed themselves? For many generations, no one is confirming and just relaying what they heard. Even this is mutating rapidly. We have 10's of thousands of Christian denominations. Everyone has their own take. Everyone is differing because no one is confirming. Somehow we have Jesus in America.

Atheists are often obsessed with God. As this very post proves.
