Later - quite recently in a relative manner of speaking - science said the planet Earth was flat.Yes but science progresses scientifically. Science is science. Religion isn't science and it doesn't progress scientifically. Intelligent design is pseudoscience. Its the whole 'God of the gaps' thing. Its rather silly really, just doesn't seem that way to some people. Doesn't even seem that way to some atheists. Atheists who still would like a belief in God and think the idea isn't silly but a good thing, they just don't believe it, they may think in truth its silly, but in goodness, not.. Atheists who believe in belief, for example. But obviously I am not one of those atheists
And this is the ignorance of religion I'm afraid.
Well thats what I think anyway.
