You can throw all the science you want at them and it doesn't matter - they just keep repeating things as if they were true. It drives me nuts even though I am tolerant of anybody's beliefs but it just makes no sense to me, it's like having a mentally ill friend with anorexia who keeps saying they're fat when they look like a skeleton. 2 to 3 thousand years ago to primitive men in the Bronze Age I understand how they believed in this insane fantasy world.

I'm only an agnostic because I believe in science so much and I know that in another 2000 years science will discover so much more than we know now - so i keep an open mind, something God like could exist.
