There are plenty of people who work in scientific fields that are also theists. I can't imagine how they rationalize it, but they do and are thus able to do their jobs just as well as any other. This guy obviously isn't one of them.

If you came from a rib, how come there's still ribs?

"There's no dates stamped on these."

YES BECAUSE CARBON DATING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DATES.

Sigh. Sometimes I have to tell myself that it isn't their fault, that they're stuck in delusions and they need coercion to break out of their own religious shell. But other times, you just gotta yell at something stupid that you see.

I'm getting close to where you are Johan.  Voting for president is almost nonsensical since we don't really vote for the president.  I think the only time the vote really can count is on the local level.  And even then, it is problematical.
How many times has the Electoral College gone against the popular vote?
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Three times. But one time is too many IMO. Especially when we're talking about a system which came about as a compromise to prevent southern slave owners from having an unfair advantage in popular votes. IOW there is absolutely no valid reason in this day and age to elect a president via small number of elected or hand selected schmucks who are often not bound in any legal way to cast their vote according to anything other than their own personal whim.

So far there have been 157 'faithless voters'.  None have swayed an election.  But the possibility exists.  In 21 states the delegates do not have to vote for anybody in particular--not legally.  They have to vote but for anybody they want.  I think this system really stinks.

In some states they don't even have to vote, they can abstain.

Yep--you are right.

Well, basically that's what you get from deifying the Constitution the Founding Fathers and Framers and what have you. I mean, ok, they were great, they changed history but being stuck with a 18th century constitutional make up in the 21st, couldn't have been what they wanted. They were reformers in their days, weren't they?
