Yes, I know what history is.
If you look at what I said, you'll see that I was naming a worthwhile field of study that doesn't cure diseases.
So saying that a field which doesn't cure diseases is a waste of time would be wrong.
So saying that theology is a waste of time purely because it doesn't cure diseases would be wrong.
Now, back to the question: you said that the translation of Dawkins' statement would be "an excellent tool for trolling Christians."
But what if you asserted to a Christian that every statement in theology is either obvious or wrong, and that Christian said "prove it." It would make sense to have an answer prepared.
