The complicated organs in human body? the stomach and how it converts food to energy, the eye and how it converts light to and image that the brain can analyze and every thing else.
please I just want to know how do you explain it. please don't insult.

Not evolution at all. I feel sorry for atheists who really always feel want to believe in god.





Look at ur body and say " Thanks Allah" for everything he created for us. Allah created u an later u will go back to him to be judged to hell or heaven.

I won't insult hon. This used to blow my mind when I was a believer too. This has been explained far more eloquently than I could do it justice, so I'd like post a link. But to put it to you quickly. Imagine two organisms, both competing for food. One has a slight few cells that are sensitive to light.... a birth defect, near it's mouth. This slight impression allows it to sense food, just a little bit better. So it passes that impression on to its offspring. It's not much. But it allows the creature to know when food is near - can tell light from shadow. Eventually, the creatures with "more" light sensitive cells, tends to get more food, live longer, and pass that trait on to its offspring. Soon, this has evolved to what we could call a "pinhole" camera sort of eye. Very primitive. Many sea creatures have this type of eye.



It goes on and on up the chain. You could look up "development of the eye"if you're honestly curious about it. I'd recommend it. It's fasinating.



Another fun fact, which relates to your question is that...if our eye was "intelligently designed" someone messed it up. We have a big nerve/blood bundle *right* where we need to see. It's called a "blind spot" and *this* points to evolution :) If we were "intlligently designed" we would have had an eye like an eagle - which is far superior to the human eye and has no blind spot.

Every complex biological function is a combination of very simple functions. Simple functions that learn to coordinate with other simple functions can improve survival odds, so have a better chance of reproducing. Over the course of thousands of generations, organic sophistications become predominant traits in an organism. No organ ever sprang into existence fully formed. Each development was a slow process of improving life efficiency over generations.

I'm not a biologist, so I couldn't explain it very well, and the answer would be much too long to put here. But there are lots of books about the human body at your local library and plenty on the internet. There are also university courses you could take.

why the organs in the HUMAN body?

almost every single one of them can be found in other organsims, and to a greater level of complexity.



the ONLY organ that humans have the best that can be found in nature, is the cerebral cortex.



all the things you just mentioned can be found in the great apes.

similarly, the great apes are the only life on earth other than humans, that overtly menstruate. (have periods)

Did you even consider checking a text book or doing an internet search with "evolution of the XXX system" as the search term?



I did and got over a 1,000.000 hits. Sample links below.

Since I don't know that must mean the first half baked excuse must be considered correct and any explanations thought of later must be regarded as false despite it having evidence and thousands of scientists supporting it.

They aren't really that complex. They can be broken down into simple functions. Evolution explains how they developed over the course of millions of years.

Well you see, there's this thing called 'evolution'. It's a fairly complex subject, so I won't go into details here. I suggest reading up on it, there are lots of good online articles.

I don't explain these things nearly as well as doctors and biologists can. Try the science section for more accurate results than anything religion-based can provide.
2011-01-15 21:46:56 UTC
Atheists have no obligation to any particular explaination, atheism is not science, what they tend not to do is to assume that if something is inexplicable (Which by the way the stomach and other organs are not) that it must be because God made it.

Evolution. For more details, ask in the biology section.

Get a life we Agnostics and Athiests have a religion a Religion of freedom and free speech!

Evolution. Ever heard of it? It seems far more likely than a mythical entity floating around fixing it all!

Natural selection. An easy answer but a complex process. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean there isn't a mountain of evidence for it.

What you want is a lesson in biology. Don't give up, just look in the right place.



Here is an overview, but you would do well to read a textbook too.

"I just want to know how you explain it?"



What is "it"?



Apparently, you expect a complete university science education in a few choice paragraphs. I'll do you one better -- I'll explain "it" in one word: evolution.

Evolution. Read a book about it.

Nature.Evolution.Scientific things.

Ps: Why are you asking athiests? Aren't non-athiests supposed to know this anyway? :O

Btw that q/ wasn't meant in a mean way just out of curiousity. =]

I dont explain. I just carry on disbelieving in a God until theres evidence.

' you will know the truth & the truth will set you free'! its so obvious to me there is a God ! the holy spirit lives in my soul ! sadly i make the same point as you but people are blind ! hopefully God will open their eyes 1 day :-)

a great magician who is omniscient and omnipotent and existed forever made this stuff in an mysterious way out of clay (mostly SiO2) which he made out of nothing in a mysterious way.

Yeah it's evolution. Plain and simple.

Evolution by natural selection.
