.....so stupid..... All of you. You so-called "atheists" are so quick to believe what these "scientists" are saying, you look like much bigger idiots than these hypocrite christians.
Why do you put atheists and scientists in quotes? Atheism is the lack of belief in a god or gods, it has nothing to do with science at all. You can be an atheist and believe all kinds of pseudoscience or fantasy. It appears that you are the one looking stupid since you are not able to make that distinction.
Additionally, no one says they are quick to believe what scientists say, however, the answers that science has come up with have a historical trail that anyone that wants to can examine for themselves. I think most people agree that blindly following scientists is just as wrong as blindly following a pastor. Unfortunately for your argument, some of us are actually educated and are scientists ourselves. Some of us actually understand the scientific method and are not merely following an authority as you seem to think.
Also, what in your mind gives these people such huge credibility? Do you really believe there are people intelligent enough to understand how life was created? If so, why hasnt that person (scientists) done something with his almighty knowledge. I mean, if you've figured out creation, economics shouldnt be that tough, right? I'm just sayin, both sides of this argument have no validity. Period.
Science has credibility. It has been shown to be correct many times over. Technology produced from the results of science actually works. This is self-confirmation. If the science was wrong, the technology wouldn't work.
No one said we know how life was created. You just created a straw man to attack all science. YOUR argument has no validity because you don't appear to understand logic and fallacious reasoning, let alone science.
How can you compare economics to study of the natural world? No one has ever claimed that economies, that are created by people, follow similar laws to nature. You are making very little sense and it is quite obvious you have little knowledge of the subjects that you are criticizing.
Ask stephen hawking how lifes going, he wont say much. But the much younger theoretical physicist beside him knows it all now, huh. What happens when another theory pops up? Cant wait, can ya? Ask my two year old where life comes from, he'll tell ya somethin good for sure.
WTF are you talking about now?
A main argument for atheism is the lack of free will a person has when following a god, but tht argument is crap now because all i see are people slurpin science jizz.
I have never heard that as an argument for atheism. Would you care to link to someone that makes this argument? It sounds like you are just pulling claims out of your ass now.
Last thing, looking at the bible as a fable is not a bad thing. It's the oldest known book on the planet, therefore it has many lessons in it which all people should know. One good one being, control your emotions. Buncha bitches.
Really?

Instructions of Shuruppak -- Dating back to circa 3000 BCE
Epic of Etana -- Legendary king of Kish Etana is the subject of an epic dating back to around 2600 BCE
Pyramid Texts -- Considered by most historians, archaeologists, and theologians to be amongst the oldest religious documents in the world, the Pyramid Texts compile together inscriptions found on ancient Egyptian tombs for 10 members of the royal family. The writings accompanying these kings and queens span nearly 250 years, with the earliest discovered in the pyramid of Fifth Dynasty ruler Unas (also referred to as Unis) and dating to somewhere between 2400 and 2300 BCE.
Code of Urukagina -- Widely thought of as the very first political treatise ever committed to writing, what makes the Code of Urukagina unique to the other texts on this list is the fact that nobody has yet to actually unearth it. However, that it exists (or existed at one point) is undisputed. Clay tablets discovered during Urukaginas reign over Legash between 2380 and 2360 BCE make a number of references to the work.
Palermo Stone - Dating back to the 25th Century BCE
The Wisdom of Ptah-Hotep -- The actual date of the papyrus scrolls that comprise The Wisdom of Ptah-Hotep (occasionally referred to as The Maxims of Ptah-Hotep or The Instructions of Ptah-Hotep) is disputed, with some claiming 2400 BCE and others around 2600 BCE if not older.
En-hedu-anas Hymns -- Frequently considered the very first explicitly named author in recorded history, Sumerian En-hedu-ana (also known as Enheduana or Enheduanna) worked as a high priestess in the service of Nanna, the moon god. The high priestess lived from 2285 to 2250 BCE
The Epic of Gilgamesh -- As with other ancient texts, historians and literary critics cannot pinpoint the exact date when The Epic of Gilgamesh was written, though it was likely around 2000 BCE. Many of the stories most especially the one involving a massive divine flood intending to eliminate all life on Earth as a means of renewal
likely inspired those found in the Bible and later texts.
The Code of Ur-Nammu -- Written and between 2100 and 2050 BCE, The Code of Ur-Nammu discusses the legal philosophies of the titular Sumerian king.
Coffin Texts -- As with the ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts involve a series of spells and incantations found on sarcophagi throughout the country. Dating back to the Middle Kingdom which spanned between 2200 and 1800 BCE
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedas
The Vedas are among the oldest sacred texts. The Samhitas date to roughly 15001000 BCE, and the "circum-Vedic" texts, as well as the redaction of the Samhitas, date to c. 1000-500 BCE, resulting in a Vedic period, spanning the mid 2nd to mid 1st millennium BCE, or the Late Bronze Age and the Iron Age
The bible the oldest book on the planet? Not by a longshot!
