This thread was started in News/Activism, and remained there for a number of posts. It was then hijacked to the Religion forum. Do you expect science-oriented folks to just give up the argument when that happens?
Science-oriented folks normally do not seek out the Religion forum, but the manner in which this thread was rudely hijacked there was unusual, and many of us simply followed along.
By the way, it is impolite to make personal attacks, such as calling fellow Freepers "atheists."
Fine… The FR atheists and ACLU Republicans… Oh, I’m sorry I offended you? I can post an atheist creation story if you like…
