No, I accused one person of trolling not everyone. I care too little about your feelings, to say things purely for the sake of eliciting an emotional reaction out of you.

Don't know any personally, but then again I don't know many atheists. 8% of self identifying atheists indicate that they also believe in God, so anything is possible.
The point is believing the earth is 6000 years old, or Adam and Eve were real people, Moses departing a Red Sea, aren't beliefs that negate atheism, defined as broadly as many here do.

Do I? That would come as a surprise to the theists in religious discussions groups I'm in.

I don't know how he accounts for it in his atheistic view of reality, so I'll continue to challenge that by questioning his beliefs.Pay attention. It is not a matter of belief. Somehow you cling to the stupid notion that evolution is a matter of religious faith. It isn't.
Err? What does evolution have to do with a Platonic conception of the Good? You probably should avoid speaking for Vulcan.
And secondly, I accept the theory of evolution, so not sure where you got the idea that I said it needs to be accepted on religious faith?
