Atheism is unreasonable

[His_Majesty]

You actually got it backwards: Wells was an uneducated man who disbelieved in evolution first, and then got his degree so that he could argue from authority to maintain the presupposition he first formed when he was an uneducated person.

I guess Einstein "was" an uneducated man too, as some point in his life.

There's a level of obsession in the kind of person who'll pick a degree and study for years specifically to "destroy evolution" on behalf of his religious beliefs that leaves me with no trouble believing he came into this with a presupposition.

Whats wrong with that?

I answered it, but then, I know you don't read anything that people write here.

I am talking to 7-10 different people at the same time...so forgive me for human error.

Incidentally, was your intent just to argue from the genetic fallacy, rather than to address Shermer's arguments, whatever they are?

What?

Why should I care what you believe? What traction does "kind" have in the scientific vernacular?

The same traction it would have if you went into a pet store and asked for a dog and you were brought out a hamster. You wouldn't have any problem deciphering the difference in "kind" then, would you?

I mean, still no definition even, so it can't be that useful of a word...
Are Hyenas dogs too? Foxes? Raccoons?

I doubt hyenas are of the dog kind...I don't know about foxes, and raccoons are certainly not.
