Having read Charles Darwin's origin of species, it dawn to me that Darwin's ideas had nothing to with creationism. Afterall, the scriptures indicates that a thousand years is like one day before God, and one day is like a thousand years. Meaning, seven day creation idea of the bible could be any duration (not necessarily seven days).
This to my opinion do not negate science,
It do not negate Evolution or any Charles Darwin's principle.

So, what are the atheists source of confidence?
I want to know?

Good question
Make i spread mat

since our allegiance is only tied to reason and prove ,then one does not need a reference book in order to decipher common sense

Atheism is a lack of belief in the millions of deities that people have created.

There is no one text as in xtianity or Islam, systems designed with lazy, simple people in mind.

I think many atheists broke away from organized religions, took the moral codes of these religions for themselves but do not have a complete guide that help them live successfully on the moral codes they adopted.
Hence, they need documentation or some kinda reference or holy book to fall back at, when the need arises or they have nothing to pass to their generations in order to main their beliefs of atheism in their offspring.

So, many children of the atheists are consciously or unconsciously returning to theism not minding what their parents believe

Is there any proof that your allegiance is tied to reason. I see nothing like reason in the definition of atheism neither have I noticed any in the worldview itself. The mere fact that you chorus the words reason and science does not make any of these words have any thing to do with atheism.

Your last sentence is correct and backed by some statistical data I once saw online.

Ignorance on display.

lol, no need to get worked up . 100% of atheism has nothing to do with reason or science. Atheism is simply a disbelief, lack of belief or whatever. Enjoy...

Everyone's allegiance to whatever they believe in, on any issue, is by reason. People choose what they believe is right and true because that's the conclusion their current level of reasoning brought them to.

Now religion, on the other hand is a whole different ball game. For some its just pure indoctrination + blind faith. For others its sprinkles of reason + faith. The faith aspect of religion will always make sure its not 100% logical. Why? Because as cutemadridsta said above, there's the "trust me" factor. There is no reason to believe that a book compiled by men over hundreds of years was divinely inspired by a supernatural deity we cannot objectively see and hear. (Objective, because some of you claim to see that being. Or hear its voice in their heads.) Religion seems to make sense up to a certain point, and when it doesn't anymore, you just "believe" that its right because it has to be from some god. Or, try to make excuses for why that gap is there.


However, some other non religious forms of theism, or atheism, remove the faith factor, and replace it by simply saying "I do not know". I believe that is what the person you quoted meant. There's no "holy book" that fills the missing gaps. We work from the bottom up and attempt to figure things out by ourselves- by reason. Religion works from the top down- claims to already have the ultimate answer, then tries to use reason to justify it, but once a discontinuity is noticed, it just fills that gap with faith.

Bullsh*t!!!
I never made mention of religion. Why do you want to sell your idea of religion to me at the slightest opportunity, are you a preacher

My point: 100% of atheism has nothing to do with science or religion.
