Unfortunately, there are a significant number of posters on this thread that do not believe in any science that contradicts their religious beliefs. There are numerous posters on this thread that believe that the earth is only a few thousand years old, all life on earth was created in its present form simultaneously, and any science that contradicts either belief is, by definition, atheist.
The initial error is their a priori assumption that science contradicts religion. A bad assumption and not at all a priori.
