Open letter to all Atheists.

First you assert that whether God exists or not depends on whether evolution is true or not then you say that the existence of God cannot be determined from a natural worldview.You appear to be contradicting yourself.

Doesn't God already know?

Well your speculated God apparently needs to conduct experiments involving humans in order to see how they will behave in different scenarios.Is that consistent with your notion of God?

But that is exactly what you DID suggest. Wouldn't God know whether we can do this without actually having to make it happen to see what we do?Edited by Straggler, : No reason given.

What has us foreknowing anything got to do with your original point of God making conflict happen to see how we respond to it?If he is as all-knowing as most Christians would have us believe he knows how we would respond thus making your "Perhaps he wants to see" point entirely moot. I repeat - Doesn't God already know?

Then, by the terms of your own argument, teaching evolution isn't teaching atheism.Evolution may well be incompatible with your very specific and limited notions of "god" but that is neither here nor there. Indeed most Christians are perfectly content to accept evolution so it seems to be your notion of god that is the problem here.

I'd argue that is not so much a consequence of "their way of teaching" as it is the consequence of critical thought.

Actually in the UK it is a legal requirements for schools to undertake a daily act of worship. But apparently about 2/3rds of schools ignore this. Well critical thought in the broad sense of the scientific method has led to undeniable progress in terms of knowledge while theistic thought seems rather lacking on that front. But I'm not "angry at religion". I just think religious thinking is flawed and rather outdated. If my son's school did undertake the daily act of worship it is supposed to I wouldn't exercise my right to withdraw him from it I would just explain to him why I think it is a bit silly.It strikes me that you are quite angry at those who advocate critical thinking.
