Actually 7 pages is preferable, if they prove the point. 1000 pages won't rescue a thesis that cannot fly.

For that matter, it's common to parrot "science" and "atheism" as a quasi-political opinion without even understanding science or atheism, much less any history or philosophical backgrounds underpinning their development. I've see that on AF, although I've seen it worse elsewhere. I can understand why thinking atheists get tired of endlessly repeating themselves to amuse the blockheads on the religious side, and are tempted to address their interlocutors as "retards." The religion side hardly comes short birds of paradise. But these exchanges are pretty sterile drama.
I feel a part of intellectual honesty is the practice of welcoming those who offer criticisms of your own ideas. Unfortunately, ego prefers sarcasm.
Then again, the OP looks pretty lame to me. (

Granted, if you mean "empirical truth." Is this the only kind of truth? Oddly, science relies a great deal on a non-empirical form of truth called "mathematics."
