Does anyone else have a memory of when they fully became what a Christian would call a "hard hearted atheist," meaning you became an atheist with a full conscience? After leaving my Christian faith and becoming an atheist the only question left that bothered me was how everything seemed so ordered but yet was not made for us. Lawrence Krauss mentioned "Cosmic coincidences," events that occurred that allowed to eventually develop on the earth in the universe, and that bothered me until it finally hit me: those things being "cosmic coincidences," fits perfectly with everthing that we know about the universe and the world we live in. The age of the universe compared to when the earth showed up, how small a speck we are in the universe, how the earth seems to be an anomly in the universe concerning life, the age of the earth compared to when life even showed up, how life normally is in biological evolution and we are an anomaly, the random pain and suffering in the world, the millions of different beliefs about God and different religions, etc., all fit perfectly together in one coherent worldview of naturalism. I was an already atheist but that day was when I fully became an atheist with my entire conscience.
