Re: Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there are real answers to the questions you are asking. the atheists you talk to are probably offended by your religious beliefs so they answer patronizingly, not taking you seriously enough to make the point logically. an internet search will turn you up a lot of answers, some of which are worded very politely yet convincingly.

where did morality come from if evolution is true? well, in small tribes of people it is very beneficial to be able to trust them. if they are complete jerks, you can't trust them so your whole tribe misses out on the benefits of morality. thus those primates and early humans with mutations that give them feelings of moral obligations to their tribe are the ones that survived and became our ancestors. also, perhaps those who believed in a God of some sort were easier to trust so they survived better as well.

when you talk about the first cause, you say things can't make themselves. well that's hard to critique because the term "make" can be taken many ways. does a thunderstorm make itself? it comes from pre-existing matter and organizes itself around the laws of nature.

salt crystals and snowflakes also organize themselves around the pre-existing patterns in their molecular shapes. they do this by following simple instructions in their molecules, with opposites attracting and similar charges repelling. you could say these are tiny robots and demonstrate design, or you could say they are random and prove that design is a myth. either way it's pretty neat.
