Millions of people before us have asked the very same questions we now ask ourselves. Who am I?, where do I come from?, How did the world and the universe come into being?, what will happen to us when we die?. These questions of life, meaning and the purpose of life have forced people of knowledge and reason to think study and answer them. This resulted in different ideologies and theories. One of these theories is Atheism. Atheism or godless was originated in ancient Greek, Diagoras of Melos was the first person to be recorded as an atheist. He lived in the 5th century BC. Though it’s said scientists and philosophers are atheists, this does not mean every scientist or philosopher don’t believe in God (even though Peter Atkins call those believing scientists “half scientists”) Yet the early Atheists had very different thinking than the modern ideology of atheism which is based on Charles Darwin’s “origin of species “. The idea of denying God’s existence, and the claim of “everything can be explained by science” and of cause “the big bang” and “Evolution”, is now known as Atheism. Though the word atheism means godless this does not mean every atheist don’t believe in a god or a “supernatural force”, they are called weak atheism, if its strong atheism the belief in gods and supernatural entities are denied.

Though atheism denounces Christianity, Islam and all other religions and claim they do not follow a religion, Atheism itself has got those characteristics of a religion itself. Atheism has got its own God, prophets, book, disciples, evangelists calling to Atheism and yes the main factor in every religion the faith in things we have no proof on it or belief .(yes they do have it. I’ll come to that a bit later).

Whatever religion the followers would believe in their God or gods to be the creator and the maintainer of this great realm and through God they can explain everything in the universe. Like so Atheist believe that science is the answer to each and every question. Like all religions agree God sent prophets to guide mankind and convey Gods message, well Atheists do have it too, while Charles Darwin is the Moses of Atheism, Richard Dawkins seems to be the messiah, the savior of mankind and to deliver mankind from the darkness and blind following of religions to the “right path” of science. Well the book of Darwin “the origin of species” is the Old Testament of Atheism while the book by Dawkins “God delusion” is the New Testament thus completing the Atheist bible. In Dawkins “God delusion” he brings out the new “ten commandants” which should have been in the Old Testament. Then there are those faithful disciples who are so good in their faith they do not reason and ask if anyone has actually seen “evolution” or even reasonably proved it, they believe it’s perfect and can be proved and tries to prove it over and over again, while turning away from the fact that there are fossils disproving Evolution. What about the big bang? Rocky Kolb a leading scientist in Fermilab said while explaining particle collision “when they (particles) collide they produce the same conditions we believe would be present a millionth of a millionth of a second after the big bang” well Dawkins says “science has standards of testing things have to be verified it’s not enough to somebody to say, I believe, so and so “. So who should we follow? (For more) – lordhexter
