I love that Angelina Jolie analogy; it must be absolutely devastating to a religious nutter.

So he has a problem with how a part of early civilization was recorded? What happened 2000 years ago, look around is someone is sacrificing a beast to the gods?
Another hit of coke should maintain that fat head of his. Cause you would have to be stoned to be that shallow. Science isn't harmless as a matter of fact most weapons are descovered through scientific study. Anyway he's probably a closet believer anyway, lots of them around.

@whatduh
he's not having a problem with how early civilization was recorded. he's having issues with how the customs and morals of that society is applied to todays.
and as for scientific discovery and who to blame for the misuse of it.
Do we blame whoever first invented the knife when a stabbing occurs?
Do we blame whoever made the first gun for driveby's in the hood?
Do we blame Alfred Nobel when a terrorist blows up an IED with dynamite?
Do we blame Marie Curie for the atomic bombing of Hir More..

@Kasmackba and your the judge of all things logical and reasonable?
Any idiot can stab ya, it takes a scientist to evaporate a city full of people.
You think all scientist are angels, Dr Josef Mengele was a scientists for an example. They are not angels, they are men and they bleed. They are not benevolent but selfish, the price of acedemia is paid back in profits not the love of their fellow man. Has science cleaned the polluted air or the water or the land? Or has it made all the short cuts More..

You seem like a fairly reasonable, almost rational person, interested in assigning blame where it belongs.
It does then come as a complete surprise that you would point at the wrong people.
"Any idiot can stab ya, it takes a scientist to evaporate a city full of people."
No it doesn't. As history clearly shows it takes politicians and military to start wars.
The fact that evaporating whole cities is technically speaking rather cumbersome doesn't make a difference.
It's still More..

@ImSmarterThanYou What an incredibly stupid remark. I might point out that since being an atheist is the ABSENCE of a belief in god, thus there are no "straws" to which an atheist clings. It is the height of ignorance to suggest otherwise.

Umm you're incredibly stupid because you fail to realize what science really is, you don't even know what science is you uneducated buffoon. If you did you wouldn't say such stupid things and yes you are grasping to straws because you believe science is the answer when science is nothing more than observing what already exists in reality and deducting it into human reasoning. So there's your straw you're grasping other scientists knowledge of what already exists then basing your own p More..
