I was very much eager to see something like this. Because i am such a person or may be the only one who is currently doing his PG in biotechnology, but still believes that earth was formed in 6 days.
You may think that i am a true christian believer , but it is not so, I am a polythiest. I believe that all religions and science is from God, so that he can decieve us.
How??
1. God is all powerful, so only someone like HIM can be a threat to him.
2. Man had that potential. RECALL : when moses went to pharoah, he dropped his stick, which became a snake. But the other magicians also did the same. The only difference is that God’s power overpowered.
If mankind would have gone in the same path, maybe a day would have come when our powers would have overpowerd God’s.
Tell me what is he supposed to do to hide his power (technology) away from us? The answer is simple, somehow make him believe that he is created not in the image of God, but some kind of a monkey.
3. Time is applicable to man, but not God. We cannot change the past, but God can.
RECALL : In the wedding of cannan, jesus converted water into wine. First there was water in the jar,which is the truth. Second, after the conversion there was wine in the jar, which is the truth. Now how much you test, you can never come to know that initialy it was water in the jar. So what will you believe to be the truth?
Think!
If God change the history of earth, then in wat will you believe, the one that was intially created or that has been altered.
[In the whole bible, there is only one place, where is a mention of particular word or a spell (which we are all familiar off) which would have probably change the history of the earth.]
4. I am a polythiest, so i believe that other religions from the same God. Because if, there would have been no concept about good, bad, sin, heaven etc. no body could have understood what the apostles meant by saying Jesus has sacrificed his life to save us from our sins.
If i am wrong please correct me and follow me on bensonabraham86 in TWITTER
THANK YOU!!!

Explain to us why an all powerful, perfect being would have to have a blood sacrifice in order to “forgive” sins? Like he has no choice?
When one of my kids does something wrong, I forgive them because I love them, and I don’t demand that someone die in their place.
I mean, come on, who’s making the rules here after all?

Then why did your imaginary god make imperfect people and sin? Just so he can flood the world to eradicate them, and then later sacrifice his “son” to “save” them? Even though he didn’t actual save them because we’re they’re going to eternal hell unless they kiss his ass. Your imaginary god sounds like a maniacal sadist to me.

Except your dead Jew on a stick is a fairy tale, a myth, a story visited on gullible people to control them through their fears and insecurities.

Someone has to love those child-raping priests that you Christians look up to, right?

“Round them up? Then what would you have done to them?”

Adolph, er, Biff, I’m waiting for your reply. What would you have done to atheists after you rounded them all up?

Round them up? Then what would you have done to them?

“…who have nothing better to do than be offended.”

Translation: Anybody who doesn’t agree with me and my idiotic, backwards religious beliefs that I must force upon everyone else because of my insecurity in those beliefs.

Cur,

Thanks for the article. He missed a few so I added to the list. It is about time someone rounded up all the lunacy of these idle handed atheists who have nothing better to do than be offended.

#11 The article also oozes the envy Schermer feels being someone who wrote about “it” versus actually doing “it”. What is funny is that you would cite Schermer to make a point, I am not quite sure what point it might be, yet he is someone who thinks you and your ilk are on par with illiterate unwashed savages, maybe worse, since the unwashed savages have not had the benefits of living in a rich liberal society.

You, Cur and the ever lamentable Hor are such wankers.

Xenon,

Thanks for the article it is quite funny. Hawkings doesn’t make for much of a God but human beings will fall for any other substitute for God.

I ran across this article. I am trying to support the author with good reason.
