Not so much of atheism, but a nice little debate on an Amazon forum:

Elliott B. says:
Lawrence A. D. - "I do not fault people for not being open to scientific discovery but I dislike those who are so firm in their mindset that new facts cannot possibly be true."

Science has been ready to respond to new facts in the past. Michelson-Morley is probably the classic example. The thing is, it demands extraordinary levels of support for new facts that contradict a large body of existing knowledge. This is quite reasonable, as one of the things that science very effectively eliminates for is INDIVIDUAL delusion. Collective delusion takes a little longer, but if one "new" fact is breaking formation the very first suspicion must be individual error and/or deception. Even collective delusion is entrained by the requirement for replication - you can be deluded about the cause but the outcomes must be measurably replicable.

So a bit of inertia is not a bad thing in science.

Meh, it's just another belief system.

Woa! The earth was only 1000 years old when the flood hit!

o_O asked about pre-Noachide floods.

The Biblical flood comes from Shuruppak, in Iraq, where the son of the King evacuated the inhabitants to a nearby mountain after a 7 day flood, about 2,900 BCE.

On another forum.

Fundies invading Amazon froum:

Mr. Petersen--"I ask you, since evolutionary dogma has taken over every single facet of science, from primary, secondary, and college-level textbooks/schools/universities, why has science slipped so far in the last fifty years?"

>>JGC: Dude, science hasn't slipped. Public understanding of science has slipped, as you so cogently exemplify.

This review is from: Rocks and Minerals (Eyewitness Handbooks) (Hardcover)
This book contains a little bit of propaganda in support of
Darwinism/macro-evolution and the Big Bomb which ruins the whole book.
A mentally ill evolutionist narcissist would rate a creationist book
one star for promoting creationism in a single sentence, and yet this
book has five evolutionist claims, all without evidence, without even
a single reference to evidence that Earth is millions of years old
(how convenient for these propaganda weasels).

This is typical hypocritical propaganda that relies on pretty pictures
and "professional talk" to bolster its evolution-related anti-Bible
propaganda, so my one star is deserved.

Perhaps science has shown that the universe did not need to be
designed. But science really can not defy the laws of probability. //

DON J: I assure you that the "laws of probability" have nothing to say
about the origins of the universe. In fact, as a person who made his
living as a mathematical statistician for a number of years, I'm not
aware of any "laws" of probability. I am aware that there is an
axiomatic mathematical system that defines how one combines
probability statements - but I don't see how these would apply to the
probability of the universe.
