The Curtin Atheist Association is about bringing together all the Atheist students at Curtin University and providing a means to communicate and debate issues that we all agree on whilst ensuring our rights are upheld within the campus environment. Welcome to out site!!
PHILOSOPHY
- The Curtin University Atheist Association recognises scientific method as the only rational means toward understanding reality. To question and critically examine all ideas, testing them in the light of experiment, leads to the discovery of facts. As there is no scientific evidence for supernatural phenomena, atheists reject belief in ‘God’, gods and other supernatural beings.
- The universe, the world in which we live, and the evolution of life, are entirely natural occurrences. No personality or mind can exist without the process of living matter to sustain it. We have only one life - here and now.
- All that remains after a person dies is the memory of their life and deeds in the minds of those who live.
- Atheists reject superstition and prejudice along with the irrational fears they cause.
- We recognise the complexity and interdependence of life on this planet. As rational and ethical beings we accept the challenge of making a creative and responsible contribution to life.
