Ah, the atheists...those who declare themselves free of any higher authority, who govern themselves, and who frown upon people of other beliefs as being "old fashion" and "unwilling to keep up with the times."
(sounds kind of like a teenager who never grew up, right?)
Now, evolution and atheism are two separate issues. Evolution is the belief that Humans evolved from progressively more advanced species until they became what they are today (and immediately became 'concerned with the environment' and realized that basically everything they do sends nature flying out of balance, and that they must work to preserve it. Don't worry guys, I'm sure life on earth could evolve into living in a world of pollution. Relax! In the next 50 million years, 'being green' will probably be frowned upon.)

Atheism, on the other hand, is the belief that THERE IS NO CREATOR. They believe this supposedly on the lack of evidence for the existence of God.
HOWEVER, if you get into the subject with any atheist, he will admit that 'nobody really knows where the world came from' but that they have total faith in science to reveal the answer.
I would like to point out several flaws with this mindset.

1. If you don't know how the world was created, why do you dismiss the possibility of a god so easily? Some of you may have heard of ShockofGod on youtube or on his radio show, asking atheists to provide proof that atheism is accurate and correct. Their answer is usually that "atheism is a DISbelief, therefor it cannot be 'proven'" (http://www.youtube.com/user/shockofgod)
Well, I agree that a disbelief cannot be proven. I do not believe in unicorns, however I cannot prove they don't exist. My argument against the existence of the flying spaghetti monster is the fact that nobody has ever seen it, there are no flying spaghetti monster traces anywhere and there have been no records of the flying spaghetti monster at all since recently (when atheists made him up as a jibe against religion)
So my 'not having proof' is justified by the fact that there is no evidence.
However, the fact that the bible exists, and the fact that the WORLD exists, are EVIDENCE for God. They may not be proof by themselves, but they are definitely evidence (of course, I would argue that the fact the world exists is ABSOLUTE proof that a creator exists, but we'll get into that later.)
So that means THERE IS ALREADY MORE PROOF FOR GOD THAN FOR ATHEISM
The slightest bit of evidence for God means there's more evidence that there is a God than that there isn't. So there we go.
the only way atheism could be justified is if there was no existence at all (in which case we wouldn't be here to ponder that anyway) or at least if time did not exist, therefor we would be eternal and need no creator, and be free to govern ourselves (and we'd all be screwed)

2. There is no evidence for the Bible.
The fact that the bible even exists and makes sense is enough for me. However, let's dig into this a bit. Here are some historical facts:
1. Jesus Christ did exist
2. Jesus Christ was crucified under Pilate.
2. He was buried in a tomb
3. His tomb was found empty
4. The disciples claimed to see Jesus risen and alive
5. Jesus' doubting brother James was convinced that Jesus had risen from the dead.
6. The church spread and grew, and many people were converted by the resurrection.
Now, first of all, There were roman guards at the tomb. They would be punished with death for deserting their posts. It would take something really freaky to make them drop their weapons and leave their post.
Also, and this is the biggest issue, why would the disciples believe Jesus rose form the dead when he didn't? Especially since they went out and risked their lives (all of them except for John were killed) to spread the good news. It doesn't make sense. These were people who knew Jesus very well. They wouldn't confuse him with someone else.

3. Objective morality. Atheists really avoid this subject. They just hate it. You ask them "is there objective mortality" they say no. But then you ask them, "Is it wrong to murder" they say yes, but other people disagree. And then (here's the checkmate) you ask them "So if someone murders someone else and they think murder is okay, should they be punished?"
They just can't answer this question. It's unbelievable. It's madness. Atheism is absolute madness. They say God does not exist, but he can exist, they say objective morality does not exist but does....they're just very confused people.
There's a lot more to it of course, but it all comes down to this:
Man is sinful. Everyone can see that. Romans 3:23-24 All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by grace through Jesus Christ.
God loves us. He loves us so much that he actually became a man, came to earth, and died for our sins.
So my friends, atheists claim to be free. But in reality, they are not even close to being free. They are slaves to their sin, they are dead in their unbelief. Christians, however are free of sin, free of guilt, and free of DOUBT that our creator and everlasting father loves us with all his heart, and that he sent his son to die for us, so that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but live everlasting life.

Atheism=PWNED

Yay I joined so I'll respond to this one! I was reading the atheist group discussion for fun and ouch, there's some rudeness there. Many atheists aren't motivated by factual issues but emotional anger toward God.

Sadly I've found some people who say they disagree with me on the objective immorality of murder. Yikes.

Finally, I don't think the Romans could do much using gourds as guards at the tombs. ;) Very nice post though!

You have some good points, it's nice to see some fellow Christians online.

remember something atheism is not only against God, also zeus, sheeba etc. they dont believe in nooooo religion at tall. sometimes is good to be unbias since it is good to look at both sides of a coin. sometimes being free from any religion is a good thing because you may not be part of a cult or extremist movement. even christians need to question they religion since someone can manipulate it like kool aid drinking jones. and a contracdition of christiondom is free will, which is what atheist believe indirectly because they believe they actions is what causes consequences not Lucifer and his minioans. besides in every past, religion tend to limit peoples freedoms like the caste system, limited indiviuadulity and the inquisition limited freedom of speech. for the most part you should follow religion but if you are narrow minded you may become intolerant. which is what is the issues of allll religion. so acceptance is key, not with a closed mind. because we live in a planet with differ religions, ideololies etc etc.

so let other people believe what they need to believe in, dont try to proove peoples ideologies wrong.

and also if you want to convince that athiesm is wrong plz dont make it preachy sounding you need to sound more secular like use scientific facts like in our fossil system if you keep digging down you would dig up sea beasts that was mentioned in genesis while on top of the fossil record are human remains which proove that humans came last.

icame last in the 6th day

in days for God could be thosands of years so sometimes is not good to literally intrepret the bible since it could have symbolism like revealetion

I would have absolutely no problem at all with people having different beliefs than me, if it weren't for that pesky morality issue.
This is not a matter of being right or wrong, it is a matter of whether or not you spend eternity with God in paradise, or with Satan in eternal torture. The sole reason I engage in conversation with other people about our differing opinions is because I care about their souls.
If this were an argument over whether vanilla ice cream is better than chocolate ice cream, I would totally agree with you. But it is not. It is an argument over whether or not Jesus Christ is the way to salvation.
Also, your comment about 'being more secular'... Again, unless the message of Jesus' suffering and death for our sins is not the core of your argument, all you're doing is just arguing. And that is pointless and a waste of time.
The Christian faith is very logical and backed up by mountains of solid evidence. But even if you use logic and science to debate atheists, you will not win unless the message of Jesus is the focus. Just look at the story of Pharaoh. He was shown countless times that god was more powerful that his own magicians. However, he refused to believe.
Humans are illogical, that is simply a fact. Look also at the people who betrayed Jesus. They saw his miracles. They saw how everyone followed him. They had so much logical evidence to suggest that he was the Christ. But did they act upon it? Nope.

And lastly, about the days in Genesis....God says days. The word in Hebrew doesn't mean a thousand years, not a thousand days, not a year, not a 'long time,' it means ONE DAY, 24 hours, from midnight to the next midnight. why would God say DAY when he meant to say 'a thousand years'? God is not the author of confusion.

I will follow God all the way (almost forgot to capitalize), but I'm not really into reading large articles like this. I know I'm lazy, and that's sloth, but it's like 9:30 where I live. Good night!
