If I was a theist, I would simply tell you that God made camels ugly to make sure his middle-eastern, Bronze Age followers would not rape them.

Alan Turing (yes, that Alan Turing who is the father of modern computing) figured out why animals have stripes and spots on them.
Spoiler: It isn't God (it's chemical interactions).
Edit:
Here's a quick run down of his ideas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chemical_Basis_of_Morphogenesis
Here's his paper: http://www.dna.caltech.edu/courses/cs191/paperscs191/turing.pdf

That's not so much why as how.
A man called Hugh Cott was one of the first to write about why animals have certain patterns and colours.
Cott, Hugh B. Adaptive Coloration in Animals. Methuen, London, 1940
Pretty much any paper on animal colouration/patterning will at some point reference him.

Why does man feel guilty when he sins?
Because YOU tell him to feel guilty about it, you idiots! I don't feel guilty when I commit the vast majority of things that are considered sins. Well, except for that time I coveted my neighbours ox and his donkey. I had to whip myself repeatedly for days, until I developed a secret whipping fetish which I subsequently felt guilty about enjoying, so I had to go to confession.
[–]HarryMcDowell 3 points4 points5 points 1 month ago

[–]Anzai 3 points4 points5 points 1 month ago
Guilt is just so much more fun than pleasure. Plus I love the fact that almost every time I have sex, I also have a child, whilst feeling guilty about the sex in the first place. It's a double punishment. What's not to love about that.

I love how it says atheism attributes the beauty of the universe to a mere nothingness. That really rustles my jimmies. Christians are the ones who are fine with looking at this beautiful universe, and the life within it and blow it off saying "God did it". Us atheists see this beauty and the 'miracle' that life really is. That the chances of life happening are one in a million, and the creation of our universe guaranteed this possibility. WE are the ones not satisfied with such a simple answer but want to discover the true meaning of our surroundings.

It is, however, a proposition.
[–]proselitigator -1 points0 points1 point 1 month ago
Both propositions are absurd. Atheism and theism both claim knowledge about something other than existence, supposedly acquired by observing existence and drawing inferences from those observations. To even try to define "God" is an impossibility. The closest thing to a rational definition is "the limits of our consciousness." Whatever we can conceive of or imagine in a semi-coherent way is reality. Whenever we run into a brick wall of circularity and unintelligibility, we call it God. While we may be able to move the wall so that our understanding of reality is greater, the wall will never disappear. For every answer, there will always be at least one more question.
[–]Zorku 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
Well no, miracles are specifically this thing where God steps in and starts fiddling with reality. Right there you've got this thing where god crosses into reality, at least in the cause and effect sense. A LOT of theists use miracles as evidence of their god and a lot of atheists find this pattern to miracles where they're really nothing that requires divine intervention and they specifically don't happen in cases where they ought to if various sorts of gods were causing them.
Atheism doesn't quite work as this polar opposite to theism when it comes to claims about reality though- you're atheist just for not being convinced that gods exist. There's this whole range of different certainties that can go behind that. Theism though- well can you be a theist if you're not sure that there are any gods? Not by any definition I've ever heard.
If you want to deal with people who outright deny any possible existence of gods then you've got to be more specific than just "atheists."
[–]Tannerleaf -5 points-4 points-3 points 1 month ago

[–]Tannerleaf 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
exactly!
[–]lorez77 -1 points0 points1 point 1 month ago
It's not a total lack of belief. It's the belief deities are not in the realm of existing things. From wikipedia: The term atheism originated from the Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning "without god(s)".
Hm, that's pretty interesting, thanks!
I don't think I ever believed in any gods at all; from a child, the notion of supernatural events and beings always seemed somehow fake.
And I've never been particularly superstitious... The funny thing is though, I live in Japan, and I sometimes use a Daruma doll for certain important projects; I've no idea if it works or not, but everything's been good so far.
[–]lorez77 0 points1 point2 points 21 days ago
I've never believed cos I've been raised as an atheist.
Well, I think it's a very human behavior to try and control something which is important to us/which scares us even when we can't cos the event doesn't depend on us. Basically I think that's how religion were born. Men were scared say by thunders, had no way of control em or understand em, they imagined some deity producing em, they tried to control thunders by being good with the deity, making offers.

Scientifically impossible for nothing to create everything? First of all, that's not what science has said about how the big bang occurred. Secondly, there's a scientific version of nothing that there's a theory around which says that something can indeed come from nothing, if you define that nothing as empty space that contains gravity. Gravity can contain positive and negative energy and thanks to the laws of quantum mechanics, empty space plus gravity will produce energy.

the stripes are obviously camouflage, and red/orange colouring on a tiger's coat is actually also camouflage, in a dense forest red light is easily absorbed and cannot be seen well, that why alot of fish (such as snapper) which live in the ocean are also red as the water absorbs red light very quickly

Serious question: are some cats colorful because they are more likely to be spotted by a mate? Isn't that one of the reasons for a butterfly to be colorful?
[–]bogan 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago
For why some large cats, such as leopards and tigers have patterened coats, see Why Do Tigers Have Stripes?
Though their sense of smell and hearing is much keener than ours, housecats have poor color vision.
domestic cats have rather poor color vision and (like most non-primate mammals) have only two types of cones, optimized for sensitivity to blue and yellowish green; they have limited ability to distinguish between red and green, although they can achieve this in some conditions.
Reference: Cats
Housecats can be colorful due to human breeding efforts or simply because coat patterns that could make them conspicuous to prey aren't being selected out of the population, because humans are ensuring the survival of those with such patterns.
Birds and some other creatures are brightly colored to attract mates. The male peacock's gorgeous plumage indicates to females that it is healthy and not suffering from genetic weaknesses that would make it difficult for it to acquire sustenance needed to maintain its beautiful feathers.
Biological ornaments are used in courtship displays in many species, especially insects, fish, and birds. A well known ornament used in courting displays is seen in peafowls. Male peacocks spread and shake their tails to attract and impress potential mates. Peahens choose the peacocks with the largest number of eyespots on their tails, because only the healthiest peacocks can afford to divert energy and nutrients towards growing expensive and cumbersome plumage, as explained by the handicap principle. More elaborate ornamentation increases the likelihood that a male will mate and has been shown to affect survival of their offspring. The offspring of males with larger eyespots on their ornamented tails have been shown to weigh more and were more likely to be alive after 2 years than the progeny of males with fewer eyespots.
Reference: Biological ornament: Use in courtship displays
As for butterflies, see Why do butterflies have so many different colors? How do these colors help them? and Why do butterflies come in so many different colors?.

[–]bookant 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago
It's maybe not the best choice of words, but it's not that far off the mark. There either is or is not some kind of "god." If there is not one, then those of us who do not believe in one are "correct" in our lack of belief ie "atheism is true."
[–]electrikyle 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago
Every one of those arguments was based on human perception. Cats have pretty stripes, insects are beautiful, where does personality come from.

[–]Shutupcrime1337 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago

[–]bogan 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago
If atheism were true, why do cats have pretty stripes on them? Why do the millions of insect species have such startling beauty? Why does man feel guilty when he sins? Why does anyone have a will? Where did personality come from? On top of all this, it is considered, of course!) scientifically impossible for nothing to create anything, much less, for nothing to create everything!
Creationists who point to creatures humans find beautiful as evidence of a divine creation by their god Yahweh seem blind to other less pleasing inhabitants of the Earth.
UK national treasure David Attenborough revealed this week that he gets hate mail from creationists for not crediting God for the wonders of nature in his documentaries. "They always mean beautiful things like hummingbirds," he told Radio Times magazine. "I always reply by saying that I think of a little child in east Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball. The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs."

Reference: Eye-burrowing worms, national treasures... and creationism
That is one of the silliest arguments I've encountered for creationism. I understand some biologists might find some parasites "beautiful." But few others would. E.g., see Doctors in Honduras removed a 2 centimeter long botfly larva from a child's eye socket. Warning: Not for the squeamish. Or see Mark Twain's writings on the fly What kind of god designs such creatures to plague mankind and other creatures?
And for the last argument that it is impossible for nothing to create anything, then what created Yahweh? Was it some other god? There were some early Christians such as the Gnostics and Marcionites who believed the creator god of the Old Testament was a lesser god, a demiurge.
And if they say "God has always existed", one could as well say that we live in an oscillating universe with no beginning nor an end. Even if one accepted the cosmological argument that there was a "first cause" that was itself uncaused doesn't necessarily mean that first cause was an anthropomorphic god such as most Christians envision. One might just as well call that first cause "Nature." The American architect, writer, and educator Frank Lloyd Wright wrote:
I believe in God, only I spell it "Nature".
Or as Daniel Henson wrote in the Dossier of Reason
This is special pleading. It is an argument that says all laws of logic apply except for in my special case. If you can continue to ask where the matter or cause came from to cause something comes from an infinite amount of times, why should we accept the answer of god as the final answer? What caused god? How did something come from nothing and make god? What is the difference between a universe that was created by a god that always existed and and a universe that has always existed? Why is it unreasonable to suggest an infinite multi-verse as one possibility, but reasonable to suggest an infinite god? Assuming god is the answer does not solve the initial problem. Why add a unobservable layer to what we actually can observe and then give it special properties that violate what we can observe?

For all those complaining that this argument doesn't account for the non-pretty things, I have the creationist/fundamentalist background to explain. See, those icky, nasty, mean critters appeared AFTER the fall of man. Checkmate, atheists!
EDIT: And/or they changed in habits/appearance after the fall.
Last time I ran into somebody using that it was butterfly wings and I tried to explain how they (often) create the spots using the same patterning genes that establish where the feet are going to be in the caterpillar. There was zero comprehension there and I really should have switched tactics much sooner- probably something more philosophical.

As a Christian (probably get downvoted for that...) stuff like this absolutely sickens me. I would like to point out to my fellow redditors that even us Christians frown on these people. They are absolute hypocrites. It states in the bible (I haven't even read the whole thing) that we, as Christians, shouldn't judge people. These fuckers give us a bad name by going around bitching about gays, lesbians, pot smokers, etc.
I am a Christian. I cuss, I love weed, and I DO NOT go around judging people by their life choices or how they look. There are TONS like me. These type of people give us "chill Christians" a bad name. We are actually pretty cool when you get to know us.
To be clear, I realize alot of things I do are considered "sins". That's literally the reason almost none of my friends know of my religion. I never speak of religion. I have my personal beliefs, so do you atheists. And that's perfectly fine.
