The two are located at the two extreme yet one extreme think that he is correct while the other is wrong.  

Not worth talk about it.  

For once I agree with you.  Our dogmas and theirs are next to nothing compared to those of spiritual seeker types.  Those fawning bastards give me the creeps.  They always speak too low and most of what they say just drips with innuendo, but I know you already thought of that, didn't you sport?  A lot like this guy.  (Not your teacher, was he?)

Granddad.  

Is getting quite late.  
Please put that bottle away and go to sleep.

Look after your physical and mental health please.

It would perhaps make sense to say fundamental anti-theists, although not a lot. Or fundamental sceptics, maybe. Fundy atheism is just nonsense.

I've long ago giving up arguing with YECs and other know-nothing fundies like roadrunner and now just point and laugh at them.

Oh, by the way I bet rr would still be tilting full creatard only for the embarrassment is too much even for him.

Based on what he's written here and elsewhere, I don't think RR is a fundie or a YEC. I've never asked him, though...

Yo! that could totally be Rik's guru. That perfect blend of smug superiority and actual cluelessness.

The Chinese invented pottery before God created the world. Wow, those Chinese sure are smart. Creating pottery before the world even existed. The proto-hipster for sure.

I've been somewhat amused by Genesis 1:16 after I actually started studying science.
"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." 

Well yeah, and first, this is described as the 4th day.  
   So, 1) how are there days before the creation of the sun? 
   2)  On the 3rd day, God supposedly created plants.  Plants.  Without stable gravity, (no sun, no moon, apparently no other planets) without sun.  

And stars . . . there are other biblical references about the stars singing for joy, so they didn't know what stars were.

But my big number 1 amusement is that our solar system isn't very old.  When our system and our sun formed, there were billions of galaxies already.
There were plenty of stars in the sky.  And nope, some deity didn't gouge a hole in one of the Milky Way's arms so it could play at creating a planet,
then a Sun, and its moon, and hey! there are stars there . . . and then conveniently ignore the actual creation of life and around 175 million years of
dinosaur rule, then come back, create a garden, tweak some animals and screw up a couple of perfectly good apes . . .

All the time I used to talk to him, RR was incredibly vague and didn't seem to want to commit to anything.

fun·da·men·tal·ism

/ˌfəndəˈmen(t)lˌizəm/

noun
noun: fundamentalism

a form of a religion, especially Islam or Protestant Christianity, that upholds belief in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture.

•strict adherence to the basic principles of any subject or discipline.

I assume that RR is referring to the second meaning when it comes to atheists and the first meaning when it comes to religious fundamentalists, which is a classic equivocation on the face of it. I do wonder what the basic principles of atheism are, though. Don't believe in any deities and...what?

YEC ?

I thought we had to debunk it being turtles all the way down ??

Nothing stupider on the face of the earth than a fucking dumbass creatard.
