"Each side tries to support their own worldview . There are two positions , and sides are chosen . It 's human nature . Yes . I can only speak for myself - winning converts is what the Bible suggests , but I do n't believe in doing it in a forceable way . I do n't believe one person / one event wins a convert all at once , it takes a combination of many tiny little steps ( examples ) to win converts . My main reason for posting here is political . I do n't believe it 's possible to have neutrality in government . If church & amp ; state are separated , atheism and state are combined . Atheism almost always equals secular `` progression `` , and Judeo Christianity almost always equals tradition , according to unchanging Biblical morals . The two quickly clash in politics . Also , I do n't believe future generations ( school children ) are having the gaps in godless evolution explained to them clearly enough . I enjoy written debates very much , and I 'm trying to show how evolution can establish atheism in the U.S. government , in violation of the text of the First Amendment and intent of the framers . I believe there has to be a God because I see no compelling evidence that life spontaneously generated from non living chemicals . I was brought up without anyone forcing me what to believe , and went to church occasionally . My church attendance did n't get very regular until my late twenties - about twenty years ago . A few Bible studies , comparing it to the flow of events , the nature of people , my shortcomings , the shortcomings of science etc , convinced me . Though it does n't really say why , the Bible says that is what will happen . See Matthew 7 :13,14 . It 's part of God 's plan . Free will ."
"Very well said , but remember , Evolution doesnt mean atheism , but creationism means religion . I know Christians that believe in evolution , but i dont know atheists that believe in creationism ."
