Atheism is a lack of belief mentality which rejects the existence of anything supernatural. By default, atheists are also naturalists and evolutionists.
The Laws of Conservation
If matter and energy cannot be created, how did they originate?
Again, it is impossible to create matter and energy through natural methods. However, they do exist, so we find ourselves in a quandary. It would seem to the unbiased either matter and energy made themselves from nothing or a supernatural creator made them. Both answers violate the law of conservation.
If the universe is "all matter and energy", how could it be an open system?
If the universe is everything, how can there be something else out there to provide more matter and energy?
A closed system is defined as a system in which neither matter nor energy can be exchanged with its surroundings. Matter and energy cannot enter or escape from a closed system. It has boundaries that cannot be crossed. The definition of the word universe is all matter and energy, including the earth, the galaxies and the contents of intergalactic space, regarded as a whole
"There is not even one generally accepted scientific theory on the origin of matter and energy."
The Law of Biogenesis
This law is composed of two parts. The first part states that living things only come from other living things and not from non-living matter. Life only comes from life. The second part of this law states that when living things procreate, their offspring are the same type of organism they are.
How could DNA and RNA evolve from something very rudimentary into their present day intricacy when the organism containing the basic genome would require the more complex, present day DNA and RNA to replicate?
The Gene Emergence Project has sponsored an event called The Origin of Life Prize. They are currently offering 1 million dollars to anyone who can offer a credible, verifiable and reproducible explanation of the origin of life.
"Origin of Life Prize - Life Origins - Abiogenesis"
"There is not even one generally accepted scientific theory on the origin of life."
Scientific Method
The scientific method is held in high esteem by most atheists and it is composed of the following parts...
1) Careful observation of a phenomenon.
2) Formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomenon.
3) Experimentation to demonstrate whether the hypothesis is true or false.
4) A conclusion that validates or modifies the hypothesis.
Nobody has ever observed the creation of matter or energy.
Nobody has ever observed a molecular cloud collapse or any planet form.
Nobody has ever observed abiogenesis.
Nobody has ever observed the evolution of any genome.
Nobody has ever observed any phylum, class, order or family change.
Evolutionists are excellent at Step 2 - Hypothesizing.
The only problem comes on Steps 1, 3 and 4 - Observation, Experimentation and Validation.
We read about their theories and the conclusions of the failed experiments they performed in an effort to validate their opinions about a phenomenon that has not only never been proven scientifically but has never even been observed.
The definition of a miracle is an event which is inexplicable by the laws of nature. The fact is there are zero generally accepted scientific explanations on these issues. If you want to believe in naturalism it is fine with me but please don't make the erroneous claim that "science" is on your side.
What term is used to describe something you believe to be true but has no empirical evidence?
Faith.
