Reliability of the creation account

[dyresand]

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. Well, I hope not.

If I remember right, the Romans made a law that pi=4.

speaking of which a theist tried to threaten me because i didn't believe. he is like your luck i'm not the president i will all the atheists and i would specifically kill you and the dark ages were a god send to show people god exists. well my reply to him was you are crazy enough to say that the dark ages were a god send when it was the polar opposite to many people died for just think and the fact that you are saying you will kill all us atheists because we don't believe in a god that's lunacy and well your going to loose allies and not to mention that is barbaric and going against human rights and also just plain fucking wrong.
