IQs of Liberals and Atheists

IMO science, unlike religion, is not something to be "believed". Beliefs are reserved for that which cannot be proved to exist. Science is the systematic study of the natural world though observation and experimentation. It's just a practical and intellectual activity trying to increase and organize knowledge. While it does not always get it right, beliefs are not required.

Actually, science is just what humans can observe. What if all of human sense and perception is wrong? What if reality isn't real? What if this is all an illusion that we haven't evolved to perceive beyond?

You put your faith in science. That what you observe is real, even though nothing can prove that this is any more or less real than any other idea.

I have no belief in any deity, god, sky daddy, or whatever one wishes to call them. Religion is a relic of a time when humans had little understanding of the forces at work in the physical world and personally I can't fathom why modern people feel the need to believe in myths from time when we thought our planet was the centre of the universe and monsters lived in the seas. Monothesim is no less ridiculous than paganism.

Because you are missing the main point of every religion. You see the traditions and dogma and rituals and you ignore the meaning that they all have.

Also, people were just as smart back in the day, they just didn't have the tools to understand certain realities. Don't disregard and dismiss ancient knowledge and wisdom. It's just as closed minded as any super religious person.

Dude, you are wrong on point one of your premise.

Did Fundies exclude any science post Darwin? That would make metaphysical fantasy more easy of course.
