Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. Thomas Paine, writing from Philadelphia, February 14, 1776

The atheist's explanation
The Bible says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). It goes on to say that on the sixth day, “God created man in His own image” (Genesis 1:27). But those who choose not to believe the Bible have an alternative explanation. It goes something like this: “In the beginning was nothing. Nothing then caused nothing to explode, which resulted in something. Over the course of time, something became stars, planets, galaxies, solar systems, carbon, water, electricity, rocks, trees, birds, fish, reptiles, insects, mammals, and human beings. And then some of those human beings inexplicably came up with the idea that a divine being called “God” created it all.”
