Ignorant Atheists?

[Brick-top]

I've heard from several people in debates that Atheists are logical, open minded, reasonable etc.

I was in a debate with an Atheist over the population of Theists in the Scientific community. He thought roughly 90% of Scientists were Atheistic.

I showed him this:

This link shows that 70% of Scientists believed in God. I thought the conversation would be over but he kept making excuses like it was a bias study or they lied and he was practically denying it as if it wasn't there.

Then he made claims saying that all believers are creationists and they think that the Earth is 6000 years old and we're all made in the way we are in the present.

I showed him this:
http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CA/CA111.html

That link says 0.15% of relevant Scientists are creationists. He kept making more excuses about this too.



I found it astonishing how this person could claim to be logical and then seem to be as closed minded and bigoted as the fanatical creationists he opposes.
