A long long time ago, people had FAITH in a Sun god. Or Tree god. Or a coyote shape shifter god.
And a long long time ago, the best scientific minds KNEW the earth was flat. And it was the center of the universe.
Good luck with this debate. Again.
To your first point, religion is (on some level) pure kookery. Was then, is now, will be forever.
To your second point, the beauty of science is that it... uh... evolves. It's NOT dogma; it self-corrects.
To your third point, yes, this is a pointless debate.
Wow! You touched on what many believe about the religion of atheism, it's kookery, science being wrong enough that even non-scientists recognize it and that you have no point in this debate.
