"I adopted the agnostic atheist label because of some persuasive arguments in favor of that idea but I've always been willing to change my mind if I had good reasons."
Is supernatural magic (aka god) real or not?
Agnostic: "Duh, duh, I don't know, duh."
A real atheist: I'm 100% certain magic is not real therefore magic god fairies are impossible.
Take your pick. Do you want to be a real atheist or do you want to be an idiot?
"the position that atheism when used to describe a lack of belief"
Only a wimpy fake atheist would say "lack of belief".
There are no gods. Period. This is not rocket science.
"I fully agree that agnosticism and other terms fall under the atheism umbrella"
That's bullshit. If someone is not 100% certain there are no gods then they are not atheists. Anyone who uses the word agnosticism is not an atheist. I call them "idiots".
Religious stupidity, religious brainwashing, and religious violence are completely out of control and getting worse. The agnostics are part of the problem and they have my contempt.

What I wrote at the Wall Street Journal about a book that explains the evolution of teeth. I also wrote something about the morons who want to throw out science.
Who is Mr. Ungar? I looked it up:
Peter S. Ungar is an American paleoanthropologist and evolutionary biologist. ... Before arriving at Arkansas, he taught at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the Duke University Medical Center. Ungar is known primarily for his work on the role of diet in human evolution. He has spent thousands of hours observing wild apes and other primates in the rainforest of Latin America and Southeast Asia, studied fossils from tyrannosaurids to Neandertals, and developed new techniques for using advanced surface analysis technologies to tease information about diet from tooth shape and patterns of use wear."
"Teeth and jaws go back over 410 million years in our greater vertebrate family, having first appeared in ancient armored fish."
The history of life is a fantastic story.
In the comments 2 know-nothing bible thumpers want replace 2 centuries of scientific progress with "The Magic Man did it" fantasy which they share with the Islamic State terrorists.

What I didn't write at the Wall Street Journal about Muslim scum. Muslims are subhumans who need to be wiped off this planet.
The last time I was on an airplane, 10 years ago, I had to take off my shoes to prove they were not bombs. All thanks to Islam. Now business people can't get any work done on long international flights, thanks to Islam.
The obvious solution? Eradicate Islam which is obviously good for nothing but terrorism, brainwashing, and extreme stupidity.

What I wrote at the Wall Street Journal. The Christian scum who infest that place will probably cry like babies.
Franklin scribbled a note at the bottom of his prayer speech lamenting, “The Convention except three or four Persons, thought Prayers unnecessary!”
They probably thought it would be a waste of time.
I worked for several corporations. Never once did I see anyone pray. The government should be the same. Just get the job done and don't waste time.
Lots of extreme stupid at that place. An example: "There is no explanation for the origin of life - requires a creator God."
Translation: "Duh, duh, I don't know anything about science therefore the Magic Man did it. Duh."
Nobody questions this bullshit. If I wrote anything about it the science deniers would be harassing me until the end of time.
-------------------------------------------
What I wrote for the fucktard:
Sir, a quote from Neil deGrasse Tyson about the god of the gaps which you invoked for #1 and #3:
"If that's where you're going to put your god in this world then god is an ever receding pocket of scientific ignorance. If you're going to stay religious then god has to be more to you then just where science has yet to travel."
Also sir if your religion completely depends on the resurrection of a decomposing corpse then your religion will some day in the distant future go extinct.
-------------------------------------------
Sir, when you write something like "god did it" you can't say "it's true because I wrote it". Gaps in human understanding are research opportunities. They are not an excuse to give up and say it was a magical event which is a fantasy that doesn't solve the problem. It just creates a new problem. Where did this magical being come from and how did it get unlimited magical powers? This is Easter Bunny stuff. It's childish and ridiculous.
Another problem for your god of the gaps is abiogenesis has been mostly figured out. It's the worst possible place to hide a Magic Man. There's tons of information about it. Just google "wikipedia abiogenesis".
How did the universe begin? Scientists have ideas about it but it's still a research opportunity. Not one scientist working in this branch of science thinks it was a magical event.
I collect quotes. I have hundreds of these things.
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." -- Charles Darwin
"If the history of science teaches us anything, it is that what conquers our ignorance is research, not giving up and attributing our ignorance to the miraculous work of a creator." -- Jerry Coyne, University of Chicago biologist

“There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, and science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works.” -- Stephen Hawkings
One more thing sir. The magical resurrection never happened for an obvious reason: It's impossible. Decomposing corpses do not rise from the dead. Zombies are not real. Once again this is Easter Bunny stuff. It's ridiculous not to mention disgusting.

WHAT I WROTE:
Would it kill you to do what I suggested: Google "wikipedia abiogenesis".
Education is a wonderful thing. Education will not bite you. Learning how the world really works is much more interesting then your boring everything-is-magic fantasy world.
What if scientists were like you? There would be zero scientific progress. No research. No discoveries. Just god-did-it.
Science hard. Hurts brain.
God easy. No think.
21st century deists are fucktards. Most 18th century deists would probably be atheists (aka normal) in the 21st century.

The Faith of our Founding Fathers?
by Dean Worbois
No one disputes the faith of our Founding Fathers. To speak of unalienable Rights being endowed by a Creator certainly shows a sensitivity to our spiritual selves. What is surprising is when fundamentalist Christians think the Founding Fathers' faith had anything to do with the Bible.
Without exception, the faith of our Founding Fathers was deist, not theist. It was best expressed earlier in the Declaration of Independence, when they spoke of "the Laws of Nature" and of "Nature's God."
In a sermon of October 1831, Episcopalian minister Bird Wilson said,
Among all of our Presidents, from Washington downward, not one was a professor of religion, at least not of more than Unitarianism.
The Bible? Here is what our Founding Fathers wrote about Bible-based Christianity:
Thomas Jefferson:
I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology. Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the earth.
SIX HISTORIC AMERICANS,
by John E. Remsburg, letter to William Short
Jefferson again: Christianity...(has become) the most perverted system that ever shone on man. ...Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus.
More Jefferson: The clergy converted the simple teachings of Jesus into an engine for enslaving mankind and adulterated by artificial constructions into a contrivance to filch wealth and power to themselves...these clergy, in fact, constitute the real Anti-Christ.
Jefferson's word for the Bible? Dunghill.
John Adams: Where do we find a precept in the Bible for Creeds, Confessions, Doctrines and Oaths, and whole carloads of other trumpery that we find religion encumbered with in these days?
Also Adams: The doctrine of the divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity.
Adams signed the Treaty of Tripoli. Article 11 states:
The Government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.
Here's Thomas Paine:
I would not dare to so dishonor my Creator God by attaching His name to that book (the Bible).
Among the most detestable villains in history, you could not find one worse than Moses. Here is an order, attributed to 'God' to butcher the boys, to massacre the mothers and to debauch and rape the daughters. I would not dare so dishonor my Creator's name by (attaching) it to this filthy book (the Bible).
It is the duty of every true Deist to vindicate the moral justice of God against the evils of the Bible.
Accustom a people to believe that priests and clergy can forgive sins...and you will have sins in abundance.
The Christian church has set up a religion of pomp and revenue in pretended imitation of a person (Jesus) who lived a life of poverty.
Finally let's hear from James Madison:
What influence in fact have Christian ecclesiastical establishments had on civil society? In many instances they have been upholding the thrones of political tyranny. In no instance have they been seen as the guardians of the liberties of the people. Rulers who wished to subvert the public liberty have found in the clergy convenient auxiliaries. A just government, instituted to secure and perpetuate liberty, does not need the clergy.
Madison objected to state-supported chaplains in Congress and to the exemption of churches from taxation. He wrote:
Religion and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.
These founding fathers were a reflection of the American population. Having escaped from the state-established religions of Europe, only 7% of the people in the 13 colonies belonged to a church when the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Do not confuse Christianity with the founding of America, for our founding fathers at best were spiritually confused men, mostly unbelievers, who frequently voiced disdain and contempt for the Word of God. Many of them were occult members, such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. America was indeed founded by Freemasons who had the purpose of achieving a New World Order in mind. This is amazingly and accurately evidenced in the book Legions of Satan by Jonathan Williams, 1781, in which he quotes British General Cornwallis as having said to George Washington (after losing the Revolutionary War to him)...
"a holy war will now begin on America and when it is ended, America will be supposedly the citadel of freedom, but her millions will unknowingly be loyal subjects, your churches will be used to teach the Jews' religion and in less than 200 years, the whole nation of America will be working for divine world government. All religions will be permeated with Judaism, without even being noticed by the masses, and it will all be under the invisible all-seeing eye of the grand architect of freemasonry..."
And so it is today! The New World Order is here, being formed under the pretense of a bogus "War On Terror." Zionism is taught in most of our churches, and never a word of critic is spoken against the blasphemous Jewish religion of Judaism, or the vile Talmud which permits priestly sex with 3-year old girls. One need look no further than a one-dollar bill to find the all-seeing eye of the Grand Architect. Cornwallis was correct! The sad irony of all this is that 99.9% of the American people are woefully ignorant of these truths. Truth is certainly stranger than fiction.
Today, just as hundreds of years ago in 1776, our nation's leaders worship and speak praise of a god who is not the God of the Bible.
"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." —Abraham Lincoln, American president (1809-1865).
"I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absenteed myself from Christian assemblies." —quote by Benjamin Franklin; from the book TOWARD THE MYSTERY by Rev. William Edelen
"The Christian god can easily be pictured as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed monster; cruel, vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites." —Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President, author, scientist, architect, educator, and diplomat

What I wrote at Reddit about Christian scum.
The Bible god murdered thousands of babies according to the Noah's Ark genocide myth. I have talked to Christians who actually believe this ridiculous nonsense. I asked them how can they worship a god who would murder babies. Their usual reply was it was the parent's fault for not worshiping him. They actually tried to justify genocide. It's OK if god does it.
This is one of the many reasons I have so much contempt for Christians.

The poll shows there are less creationists but there are more idiots who pollute evolution with the Magic Jeebus Man.
Only 19% of Americans agree with the biologists. Evolution is the strongest fact of science and the Magic Man didn't have anything to do with it.
The stupid, it burns.

UPDATE: I deleted what I wrote at Reddit because there was no response.
In 2017 only 19% of Americans agree with the biologists. Evolution is the strongest fact of science and a god's magical powers had absolutely nothing to do with it. Only 19% is disgraceful. It's one of the reasons why America is a laughing stock.
38% of Americans think millions of species were magically created out of nothing. Another 38% of Americans think supernatural magic is a mechanism of evolution, which is ridiculous. These people are polluting science with their religious fantasies.

An airhead biology teacher who knows nothing about biology lies to her students about evolution. This asshole for Jeebus should be fired immediately but the moron students don't complain. This is Idiot Florida where I live.
With no school policy to back him up, he spent less time on the subject than he would have liked. And he bit back his irritation at Teresa Yancey, a biology teacher down the hall who taught a unit she called “Evolution or NOT.”
Animals do adapt to their environments, Ms. Yancey tells her students, but evolution alone can hardly account for the appearance of wholly different life forms. She leaves it up to them to draw their own conclusions. But when pressed, she tells them, “I think God did it.”

Questions I answered at Reddit - Debate Evolution
"For creationists, what evidence would cause you to reject creationism?"
I'm not a creationist (thank goodness) but I noticed there is nothing that would convince creationists to throw out magical creationism. Obviously they are unable to throw out Genesis. It's a religious boundary they will never cross.
It's unfortunate for them. They will waste their entire lives not knowing what they are and how they got here.
"Non-creationists, feel free to answer regarding rejecting evolution/accepting some form of creationism."
I know too much about how evolution works and the overwhelming evidence for it. Throwing out evolution equals throwing out all of reality. I couldn't do that even if I wanted to.
Also, I can't imagine anything more ridiculous, childish, and moronic as the magical creation of species.
Zillions of articles about evolution at the New York Times
News about evolution, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times.
New York Times - February 12, 1909 - Now that biologists are celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, and the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of the "Origin of Species," the layman asks again, What did the great Naturalist discover? Why did the publication of the "Origin of Species" create such a storm of conflicting passions among theologians and laymen, the thinking and the unthinking, the scientific and the unscientific?
From the years 2008 & 2009 lots of science articles about evolution.

My war against the Magic Jeebus Man continues. What I wrote at Reddit.
Christianity has a serious problem that can't be fixed.
If Christians deny the established truth of evolution their religion would have to eventually go extinct because science always wins.
If Christians accept evolution as fact then they are admitting the creationist Jesus was completely wrong.
Another idea I have: Christianity is now 2,000 years old. Not bad. Very impressive. The problem is the 1st 1800 years the human race didn't know much about science compared to what we know today. Imagine how much more scientific progress there will be the next one million years. Can Christianity survive all this science? I doubt it. The Christian God will be thrown out just like Zeus was thrown out.
A question I asked at "Reddit - Debate A Christian Retard"
https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateAChristian/comments/6ca1mk/this_question_is_for_the_christians_who_accept/
This question is for the Christians who accept the established truth of evolution.
I think it's fair to say Jesus was a creationist as was everyone who lived 2,000 years ago. Christians who agree evolution is how the world works, aren't you admitting Jesus was completely wrong about creationism?

"It is modern science that teaches us humbleness and humility, not the Bronze Age mythologies and religions that put us on a throne where we don't belong."
It is good for us humans to realize that we are nothing more than a species among other species, living on an average planet in an insignificant solar system somewhere in the outskirts of a random galaxy in an immense universe that harbors at least some 200 billion other galaxies and quintillions of stars with quintillions of planets. While in our sheer arrogance we self-acclaim to be the most important thing on earth - and even of the whole universe, thinking that the earth is the centre of the cosmos, everything else orbiting it, like some fools even today think, being the 'crown of the creation' due to some self-appointed god who created us 'in his own image'.
It is modern science that teaches us humbleness and humility, not the Bronze Age mythologies and religions that put us on a throne where we don't belong.
The Earth is not our own, it is not our back-yard where we can do everything on our whim. The Earth can do without humans. But we humans cannot do without the Earth.

The upside is Muslim scum are being killed.

Figuring out the obvious is not rocket science.
The best reason for throwing out the ridiculous magic-god-fairy fantasy is very simple. It's goes like this: Magic is not real therefore the existence of the Magic Man is impossible.
That's it. Same logic for the Easter Bunny which is no less childish than the god fantasy.

"William Lane Craig"
"William Lane Craig is an American analytic philosopher and Christian apologist."
"Michael Behe"
He's another liar for Jeebus. He disgraces his university.
If you get all your science information from science deniers you're never going to learn anything. Also your Craig is not a scientist. He obviously knows nothing about biology.
I suggest study and at least try to understand what real scientists say about evolution which is the strongest fact of science and the foundation of biology. Please read Why Evolution Is True by Jerry Coyne and read it again until you understand it.

Creationists, aka uneducated morons, ask a lot of dumb questions even though they're not interested in the answers. The stupid, it burns.
"the whole creation vs evolution debate"
I see this a lot and it's totally wrong. There is no debate. Evolution is the strongest fact of science. Magical creationism is the most childish idiotic fantasy ever invented and of course it has not one shred of evidence.
So please stop pretending there is some debate because that's not true.
"Has anyone ever actually observed abiogenesis?"
That's like asking did anyone live 4 Billion years ago. We know it was a natural process and we have ideas for how it happened. Also this is a different branch of science and it has nothing to do with evolution.
You used the ridiculous word "evolutionists". Biologists are called "biologists", not "evolutionists".
"expected range that things will evolve?"
That would be predicting the future. All we know is evolution by natural selection will continue forever.
"ideology" I never heard a biologist call it that. Evolution is a scientific fact. Period.
"skeptical of evolution"
Obviously you need to educate yourself. Being skeptical of evolution is equal to being a flat-earther.
Google evolution evidence. Spend 50 years studying it. It would take you that long to study all the evidence. You science deniers have no idea how much science you have to throw out to believe in your moronic magical creationism.

Christian assholes are terrorists and child abusers.
Teaching the ridiculous heaven/hell nonsense and calling it a fact is child abuse. There is no excuse for it. Christianity would go extinct without it and that's why they abuse children with this disgusting garbage.
I'm an atheist because I grew up, educated myself, and faced facts. I accepted reality. Therefore according to Christian extremists I deserve eternal torture. You Christians are terrorists.
What you Christians need to do is learn how to think. If you could do that then you would realize how insane your fantasies are.
This link has both normal people (aka atheists) and totally insane Christian morons.

Question: We know Genesis is nonsense. So why pretend anything else in the bible is real (for example the numerous magical miracles which are ridiculous)?
I suggest a lot of it is wishful thinking, especially the magical heaven fantasy which is totally impossible.

This is good stuff and obviously it's true: Feurbach "Religion as projection."
Ludwig Feuerbach was a 19th century German philosopher and anthropologist. A student of Hegel, his ideas would greatly infuence the thought of Karl Marx. Feuerbach was also a committed atheist and materialist whose work often focused on attacking the Christian faith. In his Das Wesen des Christentums (The Essence of Christianity), written in 1821, Feuerbach explains the human belief in a supreme being in the following way: “In the consciousness of the in nite, the conscious subject has for his object the infinity of his own nature.” For Feuerbach, God is nothing more than the outward projection of the human being’s own in nite nature. Thus man creates God, not the other way around.
“Reality is real and it doesn’t care what you believe.”
My new favorite quote: “Reality is real and it doesn’t care what you believe.”
President Trump is a big fan of Liberty University where students are required to study magical creationism. The stupid, the burning out of control stupid.
Center for Creation Studies
Liberty University's Center for Creation Studies is a dynamic, teaching-based academic center. Our purpose is to research, promote, and communicate a robust young-Earth creationist view of Earth history. Beginning with sound Biblical interpretation, we seek to understand how science can inform us about God's magnificent creation.
The Center's activities are wide-ranging, both within and without the campus of Liberty University. In addition to our two courses (CRST 290 and CRST 390) which serve LU students, we regularly sponsor prominent speakers representing young-Earth creationism and Intelligent Design to the LU community, provide in-service lectures to LU faculty, and produce informative museum displays on young-earth creation. Our faculty are also regularly requested for speaking engagements both locally and far beyond, with invites from schools, organizations, and churches from California to Canada.
Purpose
The purpose of the Center for Creation Studies is to promote the development of a consistent biblical view of origins in our students. The center seeks to equip students to defend their faith in the creation account in Genesis using science, reason and the Scriptures.
Courses
History of Life: CRST 290
The primary educational activity of the Center for Creation Studies is the presentation of CRST 290, History of Life. This course is required of all Liberty students and is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the creation-evolution controversy. This study draws upon knowledge from religion, science, philosophy and history.
Origins: CRST 390
A more in-depth, discussion-based class, CRST 390, is also available for students with a science background or strong interest in the study of origins. CRST 390 is an in-depth study of the biblical and scientific views of the origin of the universe, life and man. Evidence and arguments for creation and evolution will be discussed.

Christians are Christians because they are just plain fucking stupid.
"you must believe and not doubt"
This is what makes science incompatible with religions. Scientific progress is made possible by doubt, and the word "believe" does not belong in science. Evidence is required for everything.
Religions require zero evidence. That's why they use the word "faith", which is believing in things like the magical resurrection even though it's impossible.
Atheism is the acceptance of reality. Theism is the acceptance of fantasy. Take your pick.
The comment I did not write at the Wall Street Journal to avoid never ending harassment from Catholic assholes.
"The pope has hinted at skepticism over one claim the church has been reviewing for years, of ongoing daily visions in Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina, which have spawned a local pilgrimage industry."
Mr. Pope knows the Medjugorje fantasy is ridiculous but his job requires him to not say that.
It's a business. The hotels and restaurants make people wealthy where before there was only poverty.

The magical resurrection of the Magic Jeebus Man never happened. Period. This shouldn't even be a subject but the existence of the Christian death cult completely depends on this disgusting fantasy.
"I often see people debating the differences in the empty tomb narratives in the gospels, but, to me, the differences in the resurrection appearances after the empty tomb is discovered are just as striking."
I don't care about this. All I need to know about the magical resurrection is it's impossible therefore it never happened.
Reality is a wonderful thing because it's interesting and because it's real. Magical miracles are boring and they are not real. Take your pick.
A copy and paste job. Evidence for evolution.
- Genetics. The first modern synthesis was the successful integration of Gregor Mendel's work on heritability with Darwin's ideas. There still wasn't a physical mechanism, but we at least knew how genetics worked at a high level. Other early work in genetics addressed many of the finer points and nuances of the relationship between inheritance, genetic variability, and selection, providing mathematical formula that describe evolutionary changes at a individual or population level.
- Biochemistry and molecular biology. The physical basis of traits, heritability, and genetic variability was found later, with the discovery of DNA and its role in the process of life and reproduction. As more work was done on this front, we were able to give an increasingly detailed picture of evolution at a molecular level, including the source of genetic variability via mutations/errors in DNA and the relation between phenotypic and genetic traits.
The other main aspect of the modern evolutionary biology is the reconciliation of the theory of evolution with the huge amounts of diverse data that other fields had produced, as well as the integration of new supporting evidence.
- Paleontology. Fossilized remains showed significant changes through time, and there was a legitimate concern that the gradual process of natural selection could account for these changes. The original distinction between micro- and macro-evolution was made by scientists, but eventually discarded as further investigation and experimentation into mutation rates and selection pressures showed that that such a distinction was unnecessary.
- Embryology and developmental biology. The similarity in the development of embryos among very different species was originally a mystery. Evolution proposed common descent as an explanation, and understanding the molecular basis for evolution shed significant light on the developmental process and its evolution.
- Taxonomy and phylogeny. Humans have always attempted to classify and categorize the world around them, and life was not exempt from this. Existing systems of classification were obviously not based on shared evolutionary history, resulting in discrepencies among themselves and with new systems inspired by evolutionary theory that had to be resolved. In the process, the important field of phylogeny was developed to better understand the family tree of all life.
As science progressed, newer developments expanded the original modern synthesis. Some interesting recent ones are:
- Epigenetics. It turns out that environmental effects on an organism's genome can sometimes induce changes that persist in future generations. In other words,
- Higher-order evolution. Initially, we had only considered that the phenotypic traits were under selection and as a result have focused on inferring the parameters of this process. But we have become increasingly aware that these parameters themselves can experience selective pressures. That is, the ability to evolve is itself a trait that undergoes adaptation.
- Neutral theory. This theory suggests that much of the genetic diversity of life is not generated directly by selective pressures, but through the accumulation and persistence of "neutral" changes that don't affect the survivability of the organisms.

What I wrote about religious scum at Reddit-Debate An Atheist.
"There is no coexistence of science and supernatural truth claims - people who pretend there is are mistaken or intellectually dishonest."
Yes. Well done. For example the magical resurrection of the Magic Jeebus Man requires throwing out biology. Science and religion are incompatible.
Christians who accept the established truth of evolution always stick their dead Jeebus in there to invent or use or guide evolution, as if supernatural magic is a mechanism of evolution. This is not accepting science, it's polluting science with bullsh!t.
Also these Christians who pretend they accept evolution are admitting their Jeebus was an uneducated moron because he most certainly was a know-nothing creationist.
The god-soaked always brainwash their children to infect them with the god disease. This is child abuse. The child abusers deserve contempt.
Then of course there is the 2,000 year history of religious violence. To defend these never ending atrocities the god-soaked invoke dead 20th century dictators as if that somehow justifies killing for the Magic Man.
Also there is the breathtaking stupidity. Anyone who believes in magical miracles is insane or just plain stupid. Take your pick.

What I wrote at a Wall Street Journal article: "Evolution theory faces pushback".
The stupid, it burns. The never ending Christian war against science education:
"In Oklahoma, a bill that passed the Senate in March and is being considered in the House would allow teachers to help students critique 'the scientific weaknesses of existing scientific theories.' Critics of the bill say it is an effort by creationists to undermine evolution."
A quote from a famous paleontologist:
"Creation science has not entered the curriculum for a reason so simple and so basic that we often forget to mention it: because it is false, and because good teachers understand exactly why it is false. What could be more destructive of that most fragile yet most precious commodity in our entire intellectual heritage -- good teaching -- than a bill forcing honorable teachers to sully their sacred trust by granting equal treatment to a doctrine not only known to be false, but calculated to undermine any general understanding of science as an enterprise?"

"To think that there are people who still believe in creationism is just mindboggling."
There are millions of these idiots in Idiot America. America's idiots should know the Islamic State terrorists are on their side.
What I wrote at Reddit - Debate A Christian.
Some obvious facts:
The magical resurrection of the Magic Jeebus Man never happened because it's impossible not to mention disgusting and ridiculous.
The Bible was not written by or inspired by a magical being (aka Mr. God) because magical beings are not real and because it's ridiculous to pretend a magical master of the entire universe would be in the book writing business on this planet in a universe of countless trillions of solar systems.
Christianity and all the other insane religious cults need to be thrown in the garbage.
One more thing: We know the magical creation fantasy in Genesis is nonsense therefore the rest of the disgusting bible is wrong.
"If anything is absolutely, rock-bottom true, it’s that life evolved, beginning about 4 billion years ago, and that the creation myth of Genesis is completely wrong."

At Reddit there is something called "Debate Evolution" even though there is no debate. Evolution is fact. Magical creationism is bullshit. Period. This is what I wrote there:
I stopped reading when I saw the word "teleological".
Teleology: the philosophical attempt to describe things in terms of their apparent purpose, directive principle, or goal.
Science is all about evidence, not philosophy.
I just noticed this: "intelligently designed thing".
Next time be honest. Instead of using code words like "design" to write about your childish fantasies, call it what it really is: "The Magic Man Did It."
A head's up for normal people (not know-nothing bible-thumping science deniers):
The 1st chapter of the book published in 1961 called "The Blood of the Lamb" by Peter de Vries is all about the evidence for evolution from embryology.
It is difficult for me to imagine the stupidity required to throw out two centuries of scientific progress and replace it with the most moronic fantasy ever invented, "Magical Intelligent Design Creation Out Of Nothing".
Update: One more thing. "Imperfect designs are also the products of designers, so a design’s imperfections cannot rule it out as a created thing."
You are comparing something manufactured by humans to something that requires a god fairy's magic wand. Humans don't use magic. Therefore your comparison is ridiculous, not to mention childish and idiotic.
There is no debate about the established truth of evolution which is the strongest fact of science. What you need to do is grow up, educate yourself, and face facts.
