Science always wins.
Sadly, some people actually believe the world is less than 10,000 years old. These are creationists.
Wouldn't a worldview of reason and evidence over superstition and dogma be better? We want to make sense of observations that don't rely on religious texts and the myriad interpretations they engender. This video shows how science, once allowed to prosper, bears a fruit of understanding with incredible power to explain and understand our surroundings.
In America, over half of the population is ignorant to an incredible array of evidence supporting evolution and other scientific facts. Denying it is just as ridiculous as denying the holocaust or other well-recorded historical facts. Such denial is a travesty, robbing society of truth. Religion dupes its blind-faith followers into accepting dogma for which there is no evidence. If only such believers would require the same standard of evidence they do for most other parts of their lives.
All we ask is that people look at their faith and ask "does it add up?" Does prayer work as advertised? Do verifiable miracles happen? What really is the evidence for evolution and an old earth? Why does a loving God sentence the vast majority of humanity to eternal hell while being so coy about his very existence? And many other questions. If it doesn't add up, you should be asking yourself why.
We might only be able to be agnostic about God, but we can be atheistis regarding God as described by most modern religions which make quite falsifiable claims.
Use your brain and ask yourself "does it add up?" If you find, under any amount of evidenciary scrutiny, that it does not add up, you must look around: you'll be amazed at what you find.

89AEF it makes no difference if Newton had been a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist or atheist. Scientific ideas are judged by their merit, using techniques developed over hundreds of years that winnow out the nonsense and confirm the useful. Scientific ideas are NOT judged by the religious affiliation, personal beliefs, nationality, morality, or sanitary habits of the person who proposes them.
what makes me laugh about this is that you put God in the background to cover up God, yet most of the inventors and scientists were Christians or Believed in God. Discovering that the Earth revolves around the sun in not a bad thing. They were smart people. Putting God in the background over Evolution doesn't make sense. Isaac Newton was a Christian.
I like how Christianity becoming among the most powerful religions on a roulette wheel since even if it's completely random, any could've possibly been the most powerful religions. If it's not random, it could be other things like attractiveness to the rewards of belief or punishment for nonbelievers. Shun the nonbeliever! SHUUUUUNNNN! sorry I just had to do that.
