Because though they might be atheists, they aren't nihilistic re s with low self esteem like someone here who needs something meaningful to cling to.
Nice bait and switch. Try and attribute a 'point' to evolution. Now you are trying to take the rejection of that to meaning there is no 'point' to the scientists studying it.

DMC just said that there is no point to life and that we are a chance occurrence.
Because humans are the ones doing the valuing. it should not be difficult to figure. And this throw against the wall moralism is making you look stupid. More stupid I should say.
That does not mean that there is not a point to individual actions. It's a nuance that is above your pay grade apparently.
Winning the lottery could be a chance occurrence, but it's not meaningless and there's no point to it. I'd still take it.
Are you under the illusion that your name calling, condescension and labeling is not making you look stupid?
Serious question.
he watched all the x-men movies!
I was referring more to things in research like variables and methods utilized. Everything is important in that regard, imo.
You are knotting what I typed to the purpose of life, or existence in general.
Isn't this guy a got?
Not that there is anything wrong with it, jus sayin'...
stupid question, he's an atheist ain't he?![]()
while do atheists always have a sad face on?
Maybe this is related to why they are so angry at God!
"why did hate on me and make me different

I think he's just going through the stage where one starts to question everything. Hence the naive Saturn missile firework questions.
Biologists reason that all living organisms on Earth must share a single last universal ancestor, because it would be virtually impossible that two or more separate lineages could have independently developed the many complex biochemical mechanisms common to all living organisms.[35][36] As previously mentioned the earliest organisms for which fossil evidence is available arebacteria, cells far too complex to have arisen directly from non-living materials.[37] The lack of fossil or geochemical evidence for earlier organisms has left plenty of scope for hypotheses, which fall into two main groups: 1) that life arose spontaneously on Earth or 2) that it was "seeded" from elsewhere in the Universe.
So, the possibility of God did it is still open.
You are grasping for the "seeded theory", right?
Well, if God flew around in an unidentified spacecraft, quite possibly.![]()
Atheists are within their boundaries to have these discussions. Theists aren't. Theists profess a belief in a watchful God, yet many live as if they don't believe it either.
At least the atheist has the courage of his convictions.
The idea that life on Earth was "seeded" from elsewhere in the Universe dates back at least to the Greek philosopher Anaximander in the sixth century BCE.[38] In the twentieth century it was proposed by the physical chemistSvante Arrhenius,[39] by the astronomersFred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe,[40] and by molecular biologistFrancis Crick and chemist Leslie Orgel.[41] There are three main versions of the "seeded from elsewhere" hypothesis: from elsewhere in our Solar System via fragments knocked into space by a large meteor impact, in which case the most credible sources are Mars[42] and Venus;[43] by alien visitors, possibly as a result of accidental contamination by micro-organisms that they brought with them;[41] and from outside the Solar System but by natural means.[39][42] Experiments suggest that some micro-organisms can survive the shock of being catapulted into space and some can survive exposure to radiation for several days, but there is no proof that they can survive in space for much longer periods.[42]Scientists are divided over the likelihood of life arising independently on Mars,[44] or on other planets in our galaxy.[42]
From your linky..
The most commonly accepted location of the root of the tree of life is between a monophyletic domain Bacteria and a clade formed by Archaea and Eukaryota of what is referred to as the "traditional tree of life" based on several molecular studies starting with C. Woese.[18] A very small minority of studies have concluded differently, namely that the root is in the Domain Bacteria, either in the phylum Firmicutes[19] or that the phylum Chloroflexi is basal to a clade with Archaea+Eukaryotes and the rest of Bacteria as proposed by Thomas Cavalier-Smith.[20]
So then it's commonly thought that we all came from bacteria.
God works in mysterious ways, and Satan must be bleach.
What point are you trying to prove by bolding that sentence? I kinda already introduced what you bolded in the other thread btw
