Why do atheists believe in magic?
Atheism sounds pretty silly to me. They believe the universe magically came out of no where and then it magically created cells in goo which magically turned into a human over millions of years. I don't have even faith to believe in magic, which is why I'm a Christian.

- I don't believe in horoscopes! We're not fooled that easily, us Capricorns!
Why do christians believe in magic?
Christianity sounds pretty silly to me. They believe the universe was magically poofed into existence from nothing by a magical sky-pixie that magically came out of no where and then magically poofed everything into existence. I don't believe in magic, which is why I'm an atheist.
"the universe magically came out of no where and then it magically created cells in goo which magically turned into a human"
Substitute "dust" for "goo" and this sounds exactly like a paraphrase of Genesis.
I don't believe in magic. However, you believe that a magical being with unlimited magic powers magically poofed the entire universe into existence from nothing and magically controls every single atom in this vast, entire universe.
Magic = Process I don't understand.

"To a fundie, any suitably advanced science is indistinguishable from magic."
I disagree.
To a fundie, ANY science is indistinguishable from magic.
Atheists don't agree on which model of the expansion of the universe from the singularity is most likely correct. In fact, we don't all agree that there is "the" universe, it may be "one of the universes."http://www.wired.com/2014/11/multiverse-big-bang/
Dear atheismo, the sheer irony!
Unknown idiot, we're not the ones claiming people used to walk around who could part seas, live for hundreds of years, walk on water & turn water into wine.
And like so many said we're especially not claiming the entire universe was created in 6 days by an invisible bearded man in the sky who somehow needed that much time despite being supposedly omnipotent.
So you were saying?

While we don't know what came before the Big Bang, that the expansion from singularity did occur 13 billion years ago is beyond question. Abiogenesis is not magic even in the strawman version believed in by fundies. Evolution is even less so, as it is a predictable, almost determinist process.
No scientist would ever identify the processes by which life began as "magic" which, by definition, is not of nature.
Scientists have to deal with reality. They don't describe or believe in miracles.
Eh, no, we don't. It's the Christians who believe that some deity or other magicked everything out of nowhere. We believe that laws of physics etc created the universe. You can't even spell nowhere...
I believe in magic in a young girl's heart, but that's about the extent of it.
There's nothing magical about going from a haze of hydrogen floating in space to a planetary body with a primordial ooze of various elements. It just takes gravity, fusion, and a lot of steps (a lot of steps). The only parts we don't fully understand are how the universe itself got started, and how the first self-replicated organic molecules came about. The rest is covered by fairly strong conjecture.

No, we don't believe in magic, you strawman-shagging waste of time.
Well, if nothing comes from nothing, where did God come from?
(And then starts the special pleading)
I believe a man was executed, brought back to life, and then floated into the clouds.
I also believe a mystic spirit poofed the world into existence.
But I don't believe in Magic.
For Primus sakes, again with this argument? Atheists do not believe that. They believe the universe started from the explosion of an indescribably dense singularity. You assholes OTOH, believe that God created himself from nothing, then created everything else from nothing. So you say it's ridiculous to believe that, even though you're the ones who do, not us. So tell me, who are the real idiots here?
Why do christians believe in magic?
Christianity sounds pretty silly to me. They believe the their magic sky-pixie crapped the universe into existence after eating a giant burrito. The burrito and their sky-pixie magically came out of no where and then their pixie ate the burrito and took a giant shit, which magically in that instant turned into the earth and humans. I don't have even faith to believe in magic, which is why I'm a not a christian.
Meanwhile, you believe that your god magically created the universe from nothing then populated it with life forms, also from nothing.
Science is not a magickal practice, though every Witch I've ever met has a far better grasp on it than you do. Probably because we aren't threatened by it. We embrace it. It's that whole being open to learning how the world works thing.
Funny, I don't believe any of that bullshit and have never known anyone who does.
Try asking people what they believe instead of telling them (incorrectly) what they believe.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
