This is why I don't like debating religion

I'm not trying to get you to join my position at all. That's not possible by argument. I'm trying to make the point that one does not have to be stupid to believe in God. Also making the point that Science is not infallable, much of what is theorized is not proven (or provable) fact, and many of the conclusions reached are the result of the individual's own interpretation of the world around them. We're all trying to make sense of life, I just have a different view than you.

In my opinion, it's mostly a psychological thing. You can see leading scientists profess to a faith that involves scientific absurdities but still do perfectly fine science in their work. So I wouldn't say that religious people are stupid. However, there are powerful psychological factors affecting what people belive, like how a kid is raised, community factors, etc. So while I wouldn't call religious people stupid, I won't hesitate to call the belief, or the doctrine itself illogical and/or, stupid.
Feel free to disagree of course.

Of course I disagree! :P I wouldn't believe what I did if I thought it was stupid. We'll never come to agreement arguing on a video game forum, so we obviously will have to agree to disagree. No hard feelings to anybody here. Definitely have appreciated the stimulating conversation! I'd love to stick around but we have friends coming over soon and my wife is giving me dirty looks, so I'd better get off (wait, that doesn't sound right), SIGN off.
