That's like saying you can only ever go once to the moon but you won't bother because you can't go again. Why not take advantage of this one existence and make something of it? Why pass just because there's only one limited life?
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.
