How do agnostics/atheists form their philosophical beliefs?

Btw keep in mind that even if a religion is false, like Mormonism for example. It's still better than atheism. Think about it. I'd rather have a society ruled by Mormons that has good moral values and virtues and character, than a society ruled by liberals and degenerates that only cares about gay rights, feminism, and making all races the same, and that honors gays, lesbians and transvestites. There's no comparison.

Compare Salt Lake City with Detroit for example. Salt Lake City has a good wholesome VIBE, whereas a godless city like Detroit does not. No comparison. This is an example of what Socrates called "a necessary illusion" for your own good.

Also remember that most truths are metaphorical, especially higher truth, so even if something like Mormonism is not literally true, doesn't mean it doesn't point to truth or contain good moral teachings or allegorical truths.

Regarding evolution, actually there is evidence of species transition, albeit at a way lower complexity. Google speciation experiments for example, we've seen flies create new species. We have actually shown evolution at a much less complex level, contrary to what you claim. For bacteria, see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plVk4NVIUh8 However, I am still troubled at the idea of positive mutations since like you said, they are typoes in a book.

That's not an example of evolution. The bacteria lose information in order to become resistant to antibiotics. No new info is added to the genome. It's like cutting off your hands to get out of handcuffs. See Michael Behe debunk this in the science uprising series here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ivgQFI ... 7-&index=6
