Reliability of the creation account

Oh, indeed. History is full of examples of religion sabotaging scientific advancement. It's sad to think what we may have lost, and not even known about, to executions of people who dared to think.

If religion had its way, it would drag us back to the dark ages. It hates things like the Internet, because it makes it so much harder to insulate people against other points of view and information.

It is very telling that the standard of religious arguments have not improved in the last 2000 years. They still sound like a child defending their imaginary friend. Really. They are childish arguments, at best coated in deception, word play and red herrings. They just don't see what they sound like, and that they wouldn't use this standard of argument for another topic.
