And what the hell is a "verifiable predictions about future discoveries", it seems to be the foundational stone of Macroevolution.

Another web page goes into some detail on that. Is Evolution Science? I've already blasted big quotes from it inline elsewhere so you'll excuse me if I don't repeat the practice. Don't want to get like medved.

If someone desires to be an atheist, fine, but do not be hypocritical. Adhere to the naturalist, materialist, nihilist, etc… (or whatever atheist denomination you claim). Collect your empirical data, draw the conclusions for ‘your’ truth, and look out for number one – you. Don’t pretend to be concerned with others unless it serves your own needs.

Why concern yourself with ‘mankind’? Relative morality? What does it really matter after death? Surely no one has commanded this of you – except yourself.

An atheist ‘may’ be blind, but they cannot be morally hypocritical and still be an atheist. They could not be true to their ‘nature’.
