Again I will ask you here then to make sure you don't run away from my question. I know this is one you have never been asked. Never had to face.

Why don't Atheists Evolve?
Pfft, I have been asked it, as a joke. Individuals don't evolve, populations do. Atheists do not isolate themselves from theists, and thus do not form a population that evolves separately from the rest of humanity as a whole.

Why don't you pass on your genes?
Plenty of atheists have kids. As an example, Hitchens had 3 children. Having fewer children per family is a general trend among the human population in some countries, and I have never seen any statistical analysis that suggests atheists have notably fewer kids. I mean, Sweden should be hurting for the next generation if atheists don't have kids XD

Why do you commit suicide?
Do you think you are talking to a ghost? Suicide rates are only mildly higher among atheists than theists, and some groups of theists, such as Mormons, have a higher suicide rate than atheists do. It is possible that the higher suicide rate for atheists is a matter of the fact that atheists are disproportionately male, and suicides are disproportionately committed by males.

Why do you de-evolve down to the lowest common denominator?
De-evolving isn't a real thing. Last I checked, atheists like myself didn't have physical traits different from the rest of humanity.


Why go down to base level? Why lead us down? Why is your higher purpose on the level on animal when the religious have a deeper meaning, purpose and reflect that in the fact they are willing to evolve by passing on their genes and not off them selves?

You don't see the irony?
I see reasons to conclude that you were never an atheist despite your username, since you think that we are all sad sacks that hang themselves before we have kids. That, or you were super depressed as an atheist and never talked to other atheists. -_- also, it's nuns you are thinking of. Catholic nuns don't have kids. Or perhaps Buddhist monks. Weird that you'd assume (incorrectly) that atheists don't have kids while theistic practices that forbid specific members of certain religions from having children exist.

Now, I have a question for you: what does any of this have to do with my evolution experiment? Experiments exist to TEST hypotheses and theories, not to assert their conclusions always. Creationists such as yourself should be equally interested in performing such experiments, since evidence AGAINST hypotheses/theories can also be gained that way.

By the way I do realize that I can be abrasive. And that is why I am completely alone on this forum. And when it comes to my beliefs and views on these matters. I shoot straight. Maybe too straight. Its a weakness. Sometimes can't help it.
Pfft, you can edit posts and even choose to type them out, give yourself an hour to think them over, edit them, and then post. Nothing is forcing you to hit that post reply button immediately.

But nah, you must be "too real" for the people on this forum, that's the only possible reason people don't all agree with you (sarcasm) XD XD XD

In the music industry I learned to keep my mouth shut. No one wants to hear my views on anything other then how do you put a cool hook or chord on this verse or that chorus. Or a certain rhythm or feel. Or ... want to spice it up how do you feel about a particular cheese on a hamburger.

Mmmm all tasty stuff.
Funnily enough, since I have started a hobby of making music using an online program, I'd love to hear some pointers on that topic. Not in this thread, though, since that would just further derail it. -_- I suck at making drum beats.

When you really put your ideas out there ... its batton down the hatches and hold fast. Just man your little bit of real estate and hope for the best.

Always.

On your own.
Oh man, if you are actually 100% sincere with your posts, that would really suck. But it is super hard for me to believe that anyone would ask questions such as "why don't atheists evolve?" and "why do atheists keep killing themselves?" seriously because those questions come off as very silly and intentionally inflammatory.

Which is why those types of questions are often used as jokes rather than as a serious question. Oh, I have one; how could humans have evolved from monkeys over millions of years? Monkeys don't even live that long.

I think you need to stick to the topic of this thread, which is my evolution experiment, if you are going to respond to it further. Good luck to you on debates!

Also, I don't run away from questions, I just am not on here every day and sometimes I overlook responses when I leave after replying to part of them and returning after a while.
