I, for one, have faith in **Atarii**.
No, he’s taken our advice to heart and is still locked in his study-mobile cracking away at it.
Lo! Soon he will emerge, a changed man. Verily I say unto thee, none of you shall have past away before he emerges.
Any day now…

It never fails to amuse me that Biblical Creationists use “Ah hah, you’ve got a religion!” as a counter argument. Never mind that Evolution is based on proof and not belief, their go-to argument is “Your argument is religious, therefore we should ignore it.”
It’s irony, on a certain level…

I always consider that “you are a religionist!” or the “you folloy the religion of science” as equal as a godwin.
They really lose the diacussion right away, or it is a way for the oponents of science to say that they ran out of good points.

I don’t like being called irrational just because you can’t evenly divide my circumference by my diameter.
