Lol. An adjustment of odds will be necessary.

Suddenly everyone's a prophet. The market's getting getting crowded.
Course, I knew that would happen.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I didnt start it.
Here's the honor roll of (rational) atheists bleating the science versus religion fallacy.
Give yourselves a pat on the back. And feel free to take advantage of all the human ideologies which have no scientific proof to back them and derive in large part from Judeo-Christian ethics and the human culture of religion. (Rule of law. Right to life. Equality. Justice. Good versus evil. Personal freedom/free will.)

Remember, you do not have to partake in the benefits science or technology has provided from the past statement of "one day we will discover the answer".
If you really want to be a true Christian, go live in a cave without any benefits that science has provided.

Yeah, those damn scientists and their insatiable thirst for knowledge and refusal to rest on their laurels. Life would be so much better if everyone was just content with being a simpleton and drooling out "goddidit" as the answer for everything without bothering to figure out how anything works.
If you don't like the answers science gives you, feel free to stop reaping its benefits. We could weed out the gene pool very quickly if the devout would simply try live off prayer and faith.

The difference is that science seeks the answers rather than resorting to the unreasonable and intellectually lazy goddidit.

Please explain what the science versus religion fallacy is, I have never heard of it before.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

He doesn't seem to have any idea what he is talking about, and I suspect he's just flinging poo at the wall in the hopes that some of it sticks. We seem to be in a bit of a lull, the theist arguments this past few days have generally indicated a lack of effort. It's painful to read through.
"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."
-Stephen Jay Gould

It's a false dichotomy. And it's an idiotic trope that atheists use all over the Internet.
Eg. Facebook was invented by an atheist therefore theists are hypocrites if they use it for apologetics.
Eg. Most Academy of Science members are atheists therefore religion is stupid.

Then what was your goal in telling us about things created by theists?
