We atheists can get around that. I thank abiogenesis and evolution for coming up with us and the wondrous world we live in.

Then your faith is to the tune of 10x40,000 th power probability according to world reknown ATHEIST and CoFounder of the DNA Structure himself...Dr. Francis Crick : http://www.simpletoremember.com/vitals/did-life-form-by-accident.htm . I suppose if youd rather thank raw materials/hydrogen and helium/chance/ and the infamous One Celled Pond Scum as your great great Ancestor ... you can, and no one will stop you . I tried diligently for 10 adult years to do this...but I ran out of faith and had to exit the charade for reality .

I just finished reading the featured book on the site called :'I Dont Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist' and it was very scholarly written and also contains the evidences for the credibility of the Christian Faith in the same book.

I thank you for your concern, however I have no need for your Christianity and no disrespect intended, I have my own belief and cultural and it serves me just fine, thank you anyway.

Your OP had a positive tone to it and although I'm an atheist and I can appreciate the sincerity of the message and agree with what ptsum had to say about this particular holiday. I hope you don't continue to let this thread degenerate into an anti-atheist theme by making more of these comments that are off topic from the OP that you started.
