For me, there is no overarching atheist community, and therefore I don't worry about what happens at any other web-based site or social group. I manage my own personal community, and if you're an asshole you won't ruin my community because I won't let you in. *makes gang gesture, pours a 40 out on the ground*
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
