I would assume that an Atheist could be as stupid as a Theist. I would imagine that even an Atheist could be dumb enough to doubt Evolution. It's a little harder for the Atheist but that simply makes it a bigger challenge. The Theist has a slight advantage cause they could use Goddit but the Atheist could also believe that things just happened without evolution or Goddit.
​
The bottom line is anybody who is not in someway mentally handicapped or wilfully ignorant must accept evolution based on the overwhelming preponderance of evidence.

Re: Poisoning the well...
Thanks for supporting my point. In spades.
​
Please point out where I mentioned the Theory of Evolution in the part that you quoted or in the message itself.
​
Of course the TOE will change as we learn more. But you really need to be wilfully ignorant to not accept the fact that Evolution happened and is happening.
​
The point of my post is that it is as possible for an Atheist to be as wilfully ignorant as the Theist.
