You are forgetting your own sarcasm....you suggested that those backward religious folks see diseases being caused by their immorality and not by a microbiologic world.
And I said that those folks have no problem believing in that which is verifiable. But when what they're asked to believe in contradicts a basic premise of faith, then they will believe God over believing some egghead with letters after his name.
Would you mind telling me how plate tectonics contradicts us po lil ignorant folk's faith in God?
I fail to see how plate tectonics says spit about anyone's faith in God, or lack thereof.
