The ones that advocate the total abolishment of theism of any kind? The ones who consider any display of religion a personal affront? Who blame religion for every ill of mankind? The ones who are mad, and aren't going to take it any more? LOL... I run into them all over the place... :) @WistfulD: You haven’t run into any of the hard core Atheist types?

A few very insistent ones on forums like this one, a few rebellious 18 year olds just out from under mommy and daddy's roof for the first time. One or two showing up in any discussion of church-state separation cases, but really, that's about it. @Phyreblade: You know, I keep hearing about these massing hordes of militant athiests, and I just haven’t run into them.

It went something like "Legs that walk have knees that will bow" and showed a Darwin fish kneeling before the Jesus one. Stuff of legends. I’ve seen an even sillier one.

I've personally never believed there should be any inherent problem with believing in both simultaneously, but I've encountered so many flawed, illogical and simply superfluous arguments against it by folks from both sides of that topic, I don't believe the argument really has anything to do with the issue itself any more... @<a href="#comment-192528" rel="nofollow">endotoxin</a>: Actually I think that's part of it. There are so many *militant* atheists these days. First they say theists are dumb and believe in fairy tales, and now they seem to have declared the aheist equivalent of a Jihad on theism... None of them make any sense to me any more... @ColombianMonkey: You know that’s what I thought along time ago… But I know better now… Some of the stuff I’ve seen some atheists saying is as broad and senseless as a religious extremists rant…

Just that there'd be one. Also, I know a lot of Athiests with axes to grind. (I'm one of 'em.) Not that I'd start a war necessarily... @ColombianMonkey: I would like to point out that I didn’t specify WHO was the a$$hole. Just that there’d be one.

A few years ago about 10,500 clergy signed a bill calling for the church to recognize evolutionary science as factual. science. http://atheism.about.com/b/2006/02/12/strong-support-for-evolution-among-american-clergy.htm For the most part the whole Anti-darwinian movement is largely a 20th/21st century thing. the 1920's was when it began gaining momentum from Evangelical nut-jobs and small town tyrants. For a good article on the Anti-Darwinian movement and the growing number of Christians who accept evolution as scientific fact and theological plausibility i recommend this. http://www.thirdway.org.uk/334 @Phyreblade:
