My biggest issue with theists

RE: My biggest issue with theists
There is no honest way to reverse engineer scientific findings into the bible (or the kerrang etc). At some point - sooner rather than later - you are forced to press the emergency eject button marked "magic".

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.'

Indeed. I can retrofit anything to anything else, if I'm allowed to use whatever warped reasoning I want to.
Feel free to send me a private message.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's like the time that someone (I forget who) managed to identify Moses as Middlebury, by using the complex and arcane scientific formula of removing the -oses and substituting the -iddlebury.
