WT, anything to support your silly assertions or are you relying only on empty rhetoric?
Surprisingly, RAZD is able to string together words such as "absolute minimum", "inferred minimum" and "scientific minimum" with comprehensible meaning rather than the terms which your hero Scott made up.
As usual, WT has conflated cause and effect. The inconsistency of biblical literalism with scientifically testable and observable data caused people to abandon biblical literalism as an accurate description of the past, not people looking for a reason to disbelieve the bible looking for a rationale. Atheism and alternative religions to bible worshipping have existed for far longer than bible worship.
