Was it creationists who invented the atomic bomb? Do evolutionists murder and commit crimes? Evolutionists aren't innocent in such things.
I will admit that religion has a vast history of abuses. There are real dangers in religious fanaticism. That doesn't mean that all creationists are fanatics-- any more than an evolutionist committing a crime means that all evolutionists are criminals.
Guys, do you see how hollow these arguments you present prove to be? They just do not stand up to close, rational examination.

I didn't say crimes are only committed by creationists (or religious people in general)
You said, "Or should I start making claims regarding evolutionary fanatics?" And I was merely pointing out that religious fanatics are capable of evil also. I consider it to be a worse type as well because of the rightousness of the committer.
I wasn't presenting an argument I was merely pointing out a hole in yours. You can't level a claim of evolutionist fanatics and not accept the religious fanatics. And ive we cancel out the atom bomb with the crusades, that still leaves some pretty scary crimes committed in gods name.
I could ask you the same thing about hollow arguments but you ignore the question or dismiss it completely, so I won't
Let's take a hypothetical. In a world or country ran by creationists, or let's just say christians. Do you think Muslims, jews, budhists, hindus, atheists, agnostics, etc would be welcome? Would they be able to hold government office? WOuld there be a government or would it just be a high preist?

That doesn't mean, however, that the Bible itself is wrong, nor that there is no God. It just means that man has abused religion-- just as he's abused science.

It certainly doesn't make the bible right and certainly doesn't prove god exists. I do agree that both have been abused.
