Nonbeliever

The world is getting more and more modern, but until today for human beings there exist words like god, soul and ethics. A question which bogged me since a long time is why people believe today in the same way like they used to believe in darker days. I mean that because of new discoveries there are less and less things where we can say that they are made by a god. Nevertheless many people believe in a god in many different forms, which are called religions. We have to search the reason for all this in the past. The simplest explanation for the formation of a religion is that in former times the population was very poor and they were not able to explain many phenomenas in nature. One of the most known examples is earthquakes and eclipses of the sun. Today it is not a problem for us to explain these phenomenas, but in former times these phenomenas were explained in terms of god. One possibility was that people prayed and then they thought that the responsible god will spare their life. And this is one of the elementary emotions of human beings, fear. One reason which was because of the missing knowledge about nature was the fear; the other reason which was because of the poverty was the joy. These poor people in former times hoped to find joy in heaven. In this way it is possible to explain objective why religions has been formed, but this explanation is atheistic, because no theologian would explain it in this way. A theologian would say that in former times people has a contact to god. Maybe he will tell us something about some miracles, too. There is also another important point, which theologian always use. They say that the world is so ideal that there must be a god. This means that everything functions so good for the life of the people. Scientists say that people could live because everything functions so well. So you how easy it is to make from a scientific statement a theological statement and the other way round, you must only reverse it. Now we should look at the atheistic side. Atheists do not believe in god and in any soul. The first question for somebody who is not an atheist may be how somebody can live without something transcendental. For the most people life is something transcendental which we could not touch. My question is why and the answer is quite simple. The most people believe what they see with there eyes and what happens to them. They collect experiences in their life, they believe in them and they give it to further generations. People are convinced that human beings are something very special in the universe and because until today it is impossible to build a human being or another organism people are convinced, because of their experiences that it is impossible to build a human being. These experiences were given from one generation to the other. But we must not wonder that people think that they are better than other matter, because our brain is made so. In nature human beings had to fight like any other animals. Only the most powerful animals survive. This self-confidence of human beings goes so far that they think that they are the best of all in the universe. People with more power feel more important and they are treated with more respect by our society today. All countries and also our nature on earth are built up of power. When I look at a stone, at a table or at a chair my instinct says: "I am much better, this table has not done anything in his life, I can do everything I want to do with him. He has not got a will." But now we have to think about considerations which are unbelievable and very abstract for us. These two formulations that the table has not done anything and that it has not got a will a subjective. And this is what we always forget or we do not think about it. Human begins have invented the will. It is not a reason to say it is less important than other matter in the universe, but not more.
Before we will continue with the atheistic-scientific explanation we should look at the power in the past from the religions. We know that all world religions exist since many generations. In this connection power is a very important word. I and all atheists are of the opinion that religions have been invented to manipulate people, because with stories about gods you control people very good. But it is also connected with the fact that in former time’s people does not much about natural laws. There exist people who are called priests and they say that they have got a connection to god. They tell people that good people come into heaven and bad people into hell. I ask myself if these inventors of the world religions had believed themselves in these religions. This obedience of the people in former times is understandable, because often they were not educated like the priests. So it was possible to say these people what they have to do and they have done so, because they were afraid. Emperors like kings could strengthen their power with the help of religions. Many scientists and philosophers, who were convinced of the atheism und who explained phenomena in nature which were explained with the help of god, were very dangerous for the religions, because they discovered the real reasons and the people saw the mistakes of the religions. These scientists and philosophers had many problems, because they were called heretics. Now let us go back to the scientific explanation. For science it is not logical to believe in a god, because first there are not any proves and second it would not be logical for the natural laws. Some theologian may that we have invented logic and that it is subjective. And it is right, because it is subjective, but we must not forget that logic had never let us down in our researches. Maybe it will sound a little bit instrumentalist, but for scientists it is always more important to find the best tool to explain a natural phenomena and then to search for the real reason. And logic is a tool, this best tool and even if it is subjective we can depend on logic. This is the scientific prove that god does not exist.
