Subject: RE: BS: Militant atheism has become a religion
A bit deep if you ask me.

I prefer it on the other thread where you get curious as to whether I commit adultery with a chicken.

The Albert quote by the way is one I have been known to use in my real life. Believing in dinosaurs is however a bit like believing in my ability to scratch my arse. You quote pete as being enlightening. Clapton help us. If that bugger had his way, fairy tales would be taught at the level of science and if that isn't child abuse, I fail to see what is. Perhaps you should have a read of the young age creationist thread before you choose your mates. He and his mates are trying to hold back our understanding. Humans evolve the same as any other fauna or flora, and superstition is playing its last dodo encore.

If you want an adult conversation, I suggest you first do the following;

1. Find out what BS means as a prefix for these threads.

2. Find out what an adult is.

3. Set out an action plan for becoming one.

I don't even pretend to know more about science than pete. However, I have yet to post a thread displaying contempt for how "science" derives its data. Nor have I pounced on an irregularity and tried filling the gap with my imaginary friend. So on balance, I may not know more or less than him but I doubt I am shredding my PhD thesis just yet.

(On the subject of science versus fantasy, that's a thought. A central plank of my thesis is based on a hypothesis that has since been revised. If I had written about theology rather than physics, I would have been able to argue my theory still stood. Hence the contempt rational people have for fantasy dressed as fact.)
