There is the argument that goes something like:
Yes the universe existed for 6000 years before I was born, maybe a bit more, but it was working up to something, a climax, me.
But when I'm gone, well there's no point really is there. Elephants may well evolve into inter dimensional portals, but it's pointless because I won't be here.

[Image: think.gif] Huh?

[Image: dunno.gif] Don't get it. What point does that argument make?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
