No.

Then they might avail themselves of medicines developed from a modern understanding of life, DNA, resistance, etc. and live longer and continue to annoy us with their fucking religion.

Almost all religions have tales of faith healing all ills and wounds, they should just sit around and believe away all their problems.

Facts aren't a matter of choice: you either accept them or become irrelevant. For a good century, large swathes of religion have opted for the latter, and I'm hardly going to give them a pat on the back for being reasonable now.

Reality is what reality is, whether it makes you happy or not is irrelevant. Religion has pretended that it got to call the shots and force people who had the facts, if those facts disagreed with church doctrine, to recant those facts, as though that changed reality. Today, we know that reality is what reality is and what people believe about reality has no bearing on reality itself. It's time the religious grew the hell up and figured that out.

Evolution doesn't care if you accept it. It keeps happening. You just look like an idiot

Mr. Religion: Do you expect me to talk the talk concerning evolution?

Sciencefinger: No, Mr. Religion, I expect you to die!

Cue laser cannon of enlightenment

No, there is a debate about when oxygen became present on earth, there's now some evidence that oxygen has always been present in earth's atmosphere.
Will be interesting to see what happens, could be a big change a comin'.

What evidence is that?

Of course it bloody well is. And if they don't, fuck 'em, the very process that they reject - evolution - will ensure they die off within a few generations.
Much like what is already happening.

This.

There is still plenty of room for us to talk about the possible existence of God but evolution, a 4.5 billion year old Earth and 13.7 billion year old universe are hard fact. Denying them puts one in the same category as a flat-earther. One forfeits all right to be taken seriously by going there.
