I don't follow the religious posts...but didn't David dare people to find someone who was like super smart who believed in God or something?

I didn't see David's post but if he made that challenge, and he probably did, it just shows how narrow his knowledge of the world is.
Don't get me wrong, I am an atheist and I think religion is more or less stupid.
But I know enough about the world to know that their are plenty of brilliant people who believe in God, and things even more dubious than that.
Just off the top of my head that Aum Shindiko (sp?) cult in Japan had lots of biochemists and engineers as members.
Between the force of tradition, deep psychological needs, and the general human tendency to irrationality, you can find brilliant people who believe in almost anything.
