I 'came out' as an atheist.

[Doom Mantis]

Some religious people believe that the earth was created in a week or some crazy stuff like that and that humans just literally popped up out of thin air and therefore that evolution didn't actually happen. (Neither of which are true)

Yeh, The Bible was written way back when people couldn't comprehend stuff. I could only imagine it from a modern perspective.

Neither of you need to convert each other, and if you're both (or just one of you is) adamant in your views, then trying to debate your reasoning might just cause more problems.

Instead, I would ask your mum to sit down with you quietly, and explain to her that you've come to your belief by yourself.
The school hasn't tried to convert you and they aren't trying to disrespect christian belief when they teach evolution.
Explain that you want to stay at the school.
And explain that you still respect her beliefs, and you want her to respect yours too. You don't want to argue over them, and you don't want them to get in the way of each other. You can still both get on and love eachother without having the same beliefs.

Then give her a cuddle.

the universe was created in 7 days. This is only possible because god willed it. Nothing else could have done such a thing, no matter how long it took. Humans were created from the dust of the dirt.

Umm, I haven't read the Bible but this is pretty loving ridiculous..Why would a god randomly say "Hmmm I'm bored! Why don't I just make a huge universe with little creatures call humans in it! Then I can watch them fight like idiots!".

And thats Buddhism.

Atheism is literally the rejection of all religion, aka: believing in nothing.
Calling Atheism a religion is redundant.

Wrong, atheism is the rejection of the belief in deities - Not of "all religion"

You can still follow religious aspects and be an atheist

[Harm94]

I dunno, a lot of atheists also happen to be rationalists.

In my opinion, almost every body thinks they are so called expert on the internet. If you ask me almost all of the biggest questions will never be answered. Questions like what created matter and energy in the first place.

For a long time religion has been used to explain the unexplainable. Many cultures worshiped the sun, earth, the moon, basically nature. At one point in time they probably thought that eclipses was the act of the gods having love or some ritual and that wasn't meant for mortal eyes, so they were blinded. Eventually the idea of many human like gods such as zeus, Athena, odin, etc comes out and the myths arise. Then this idea becomes a believe that they are minor gods and there is a bigger god. Then you have Christianity and the whole mess of things. Then people get curious and want to look to the heavens. Telescope is made and it they discover that the moon has a rough surface, the earth is not the center of things, and these ideas are met with resistance. Its no surprise that every emerging belief is met with resistance. The Roman and Greek pagans hated the Christians, Christians hated science. In fact you could say the two go hand in hand that the practice of wanting to discover things has always been there.

we're all dumb

what im saying is that nobody really knows. Do we know if the Big Bang created the universe? No. Do we know if God created the universe? No. We're all dumb.

It is observable that everything in the universe is moving away from each other, at speeds proportional to their distance; everything is moving away from a central location
Also the cosmic microwave background.

everything is moving away from everything else. It's like upsizing an image. There's no way to tell where the center of the universe is without knowing where the edges are, and we don't know where the edges of the universe are because our observable universe isn't big enough.

of course, the way mus worded it kinda makes it seem like he's putting both on equal footing
