you dont think an emptiness exists?
If the whole universe is empty, there is not existing, there is a difference between the thought of existence, and existence itself

No, I won't lie, some Christians use science to prove biblical facts.

This has nothing to do with atheism or evolution (or creationism), but why can't existence be empty?
it can be empty. but then you would have to explain how we got here if there is no god. do you believe existence is empty?

Evolution takes billions of years. Our present state isn't a mysterious miracle. It's simply how we've ended up over billions of years. Eyes started out as simply light detectors, but became more advanced over billions of years. Even some microscopic life has rudimentary eyes, used solely for detecting light.

If someone doesn't believe in an evolution of life, they probably never will. Much like those who believed the earth was the center of the universe, or that the earth was flat, there will be those who resist for religious purposes.
^^^is this guy serious. so then the eye and all its systems formed by chance over millions of years? you think this is how we've ended up. you think we are improving and geting better as time goes by. if you open your eyes you'll see that the very opposite is true. we are getting smaller and weaker. we were already perfect from the moment of creation. if you dont think god created you then tell me how life can begin out of chaos from the big dud.

trying to convince people over the internet is an impossible feat when the other people dont view your religous beliefs. Dont know why you would try, are you trying to say that all other outlooks and beliefs that are non religous are wrong? If you know somthing everyone else doesnt then why dont you come out and stun the world with it. Unitll that never happens you can simply believe what you want to believe and respect others beliefs, and dont even try to say you do or you are because you snicker at peoples outlooks. So tell me how this all started, life the life cycle from the beginning how god was made, how somthing somone or somthing is created out of nothing. please shock me.

no matter how you look at it, something or someone must have always been. to me it is more logical to believe that god is the uncreated than to believe that matter has just always been.

space has to exist in order for there to be emptiness. absolute non existence is something completely unfathomable. the closest our minds can come is the idea of a lack of objects in an infinite space.

Isn't that an example of physical change and adaptation through time? I'm pretty sure there's a word for that. I just cant seem to think of what it is though. Anybody know what that's called?

Ok, if that's what you believe I have respect for that. Nothing I can say can change that.
