Religious Person: The lord sure made those mountains pretty!
Atheist: No, actually glaciers made them. [northern Illinois]
RP: Well, god made the glaciers.
A: No, extreme amounts of compacted snow did.
RP: Well, god caused the snow.
A: Not really, snow is cause by the drop in atmospheric temperature.
RP: And god made the temperature drop!
A: No really. The Earth's unusual, elliptical orbit caused the earth to move farther from the sun, causing the temperature drop.
RP: Well, you know, god moved the earth!
A: Actually not. The Earth moves in relationship to the sun's gravitational effect as it moves through space.
etc., etc., etc.....
Notice the religious person changed their story 4 times and the atheist did not change the story even once. Who will YOU trust?
Me? I'll take the science any day.
(This is an abriviated conversation that I heard with my own ears!)
