but don't let it become a fallacious reason for rejecting theism. We do
NOT want our theological views to be recognized as science. They are not
science. We also don't accept (pseudo)scientists telling us that our
theology is invalid because of scientific findings that have no real
bearing on it. Devout, evangelical atheists don't like to hear that. It
undercuts their evangelism.
Are Dawkins and Dennett "devout, evangelical atheists"?
Ordinary, practical atheists don't give a damn.
