Funny thread, I have to admit.
I am a complete atheist. I agree with LF and others that it is all just fairy tails.
Have you ever been cornered by a hard core evangelical giving you the "get right with God or burn in hell" business? It's annoying as hell, and all you want is to be someplace else. I think many (not all) true believers are actually insane.
Hard core atheists are just as annoying though. I get it. You think religion is ridiculous. So do I. You are not making any converts by being an annoying asshole, though.
Here is a paradox for you: Some very smart people are religious, even some very smart scientists. I don't understand how a person trained in science can accept the "6,000 year old Earth concept" and at the same time use and trust carbon-dating. I have met such people.
Bottom line for me is to leave religious people alone to practice their beliefs and to keep my skepticism to myself. I don't sit around with my atheist friends making fun of the "rubes". That is juvenile, ala Paddy, and low class.
Nitro, evolution is actually a very coherent explanation of how we came to be, and it does not rely on self-sufficient babies. There is still lots to learn about evolution but that is really just filling in the details. The only significant mystery left unanswered is how "life" arose from "non-life".
