"Nobody's arguing that because it is largely inconsequential navel gazing and has far more to do with literature than science."

"You're off-topic because you're taking the definition of "religion" that Carroll uses, which is to say organized, funded, human, fallible and very much materialistically authoritative, and throwing all that out the window in favor of arguing some kind of ideal definition of philosophy."

"The direct corollary of that argument is that the supernatural only exists where we have yet to measure."

"How do you know which aspects of reality are amenable to scientific inquiry"

"If you posit the existence of the supernatural then how could you possibly, by natural means, ascertain that you are, in fact, ignoring it?"

"Problem is, if the supernatural is in any way factual there is absolutely no way to prove that the results you're getting will be consistent across the entirety of the natural world..."

No big deal.

"Because science is irreconcilable with the supernatural worldview..."

"I have nothing else to say—not in general—just only to you."

Seeing as public education is already irredeemably warped, I think the attempts by misguided Intelligent Design folks, for example, to mold education for their purposes will be just the final nail in the coffin of a system that is already rotten to the core.

"So in my view, we have a responsibility to get the word out—to not be wishy-washy on the question of religion as a way of knowing, but to be clear and direct and loud about how reality really works."

First, define "nothing."

"So as of today; as of right now, you have no observable, provable, data, evidence, or anything that proves out right your theory of evoltuion to be true?"

Also, for copious examples of atheists clinging to their own myths that are demonstrably wrong, I recommend this book:

"I have yet to find that particular brand of insanity outside of religious fanaticism."

"Sometimes scientists lie."

"Religion turns people's brains into mush and renders their logic nonexistent."

Oh God, I was right. You really don't know what a theory is. Go here for a crash course:

"Nature herself behaves in a surprising and counter-intuitive way."

Your spittle-soaked rants really are quite hilarious. I tell you that the Big Bang is simply a logical inference that is not necessarily true, and still that's not good enough for you. You have such a thick, impenetrable skull, that you simply can't absorb anything that doesn't conform to what you've already made up…
