Why do ignorant people insist we dumb down to their level?

Nonetheless, I have to say that your opening post is very insulting to atheists, whether any of us take you seriously enough to take it personally or not. It's one thing to have some mismatched gears, but another to take the time to type out a post in which you're knowingly insulting everyone in the room. I've never met anyone incapable of understanding when they're saying fuck you, so I don't believe your deficits excuse you from your rudeness.

Honestly the OP wasn't that bad, i got used to vapid insults. His second post here was the one a bit over the top IMHO.

I agree that science is not math.  Also, chocolate is not cheese and a carrot is not a cart horse.

It's nice that things are different.

Science is not math. Science is not English, nor is it French, nor Chinese nor Russian.

But, math is a very good language to use when discussing science because it is formal and so doesn't let as much bad reasoning enter in.

But it is only a language when used in the sciences.

The other day I was supervisor in charge at the plant. I took my math analisys book and scribble notebook there. The other supervisor in charge of the slaughter asked me why I took that book instead of going on the net etc.

Well, that stumbled me a bit indeed. I think it's in my nature. The book has awesome proof questions. Did some during the shift. Night shift mind you.
