At one point they would try desperately to make the Bible fit in with what science has proven and claim that years in the Bible were lunar months, getting them to somewhere around 50,000 years - yeah, that's realllllllllllllly going to help your cause, 4.5 BILLION versus 50,000. Fail. So they latched on to this vague hypothesis called INTELLIGENT DESIGN, a cop out, which says the universe and everything in it is so incredible that of course the only conclusion one can make is that a grand all knowing sky wizard, God, made it all.
Donny you're a CHRISTIAN, you BELIEVE in the BIBLE, the Jewish Bible and the New Testament. Defend the BIBLE and all that's written in it, it's the basis of EVERYTHING you believe, it is historical fact to you. Dawkins laughs at the Bible. When Dawkins allows that God may exist, he's not talking about your God, or any other God of any religion man has created.
Your arguments are borrowed and specious. Science hasn't yet proven there is no God, it may never prove it BUT what it has proven is that your God, your religion is fantasy, a fairy tale.

Pick the top 10 worst conspiracy nuts on this forum and you'll notice the logic and line of reasoning is the same. A lot of overt statements or pre-suppositions or claims as the high intelligence of the believer and low intelligence of the non-believer, they're educated, you're not, they educate themselves, you don't... they have an open mind, you don't... they're informed, you're not...they favor intelligent discussion and consequently, your questioning of their beliefs is then framed as "unintelligent", eventually, it degrades and a retreat is made to the final intellectual refuge of "you're just sheep/brainwashed/programmed" etc. and so on and so forth.
All beliefs rely on faith. Science, more often than not, relies on faith. The primary difference between religion and science is that science ultimately seeks the truth vs the staunch and unwavering defense archaic and ancient superstitious beliefs.
As for Donny.. he's a nut. But he was a nut before he found Jesus. Like any junkie or criminal that becomes religious, or health freak or whatever, the "crazy" driving the behaviors never goes away. All that changes is how that "crazy" is expressed. The nutty drug addict that finds jesus, becomes an addict for religion simply supplanting one excessive and unreasonable behavior for another.
