St Augustine said to early Christians :
"Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens,
and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of
the stars and even their sizes and distances,... and this knowledge
he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus
offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk
nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based
in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an
embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in
the Christian and laugh to scorn."
I wish american atheists would find someone to tell them :
"Often a Christian knows something about the basic tenets of his religious faith,... and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for a believer to hear an atheist talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based
in Science. We should do all that we can to avoid such an
embarrassing situation, lest the believer see only ignorance in
the atheist and laugh to scorn."
IMHO, the fact that american atheists still use the obvious strawman that consists of equating Chritianity to YEC is as much a problem as the existence of organizations like AIG or ICR. These atheists appear as much uneducated and dishonest as the common creationist, when they hijack science like their opponents hijack the Bible. None of them appear to research a mutual understanding, but instead try to push their beliefs on others.
