Write your reply.

assistant: One's science and the other is religion.  Theoretically they're not in
conflict with each other.  Unfortunately the Creationist cult seeks to
impose their religious belief that Creationism is scientific and they seek
to equate their occultism with science in the public schools.
This is unfortunate since it degrades science and blasphemies their own
deity constructs.

It's cute the way cultists assume that just because their masters keep

Ancient Babylonian mythologies.  How did it happen that there are _still_
people capable of believing such ignorant nonsense?
Cool.  The cultist wants to pretend that education and science equates to
liberalism -- a political party.
Not only was Hitler a staunch Christian, but he didn't do anything that
Christianity hadn't done long before him; he didn't step outside of the
mold of Christianity one iota.

assistant: I'm sure he would since observation of a pathology is an educational process.
For instance, did you know that
    1) nearly every racist or homophobic bigot in the Westernized
    societies of the world are Christians?  I've been utterly unable
    to find even ___ONE___ atheist hate group.  They're either Christian,
    Muslim, or Jewish with the rest being theistic of some kind.  None
    are atheists groups.
    2) most prison inmates in the United States prison system are
    Christians?  And that there are extremely few atheists in prison?
Observing Christians certainly does lend itself toward discovering the
lows of evil and stink that humanity is capable of achieving.  Islam and
Judism are close second runners to the evil of the Christian cult.
That's a pretty silly claim.  Are you willing to defend it?  Are you sure
you want to demand that anyone who disagrees with RT is automatically
labeled religious?  Well?  You opened your yap, shall I close it for you?

Cultists can't even explain where all that water came from and where all
that water went to.
<laugh>  Amazing.  And gravity didn't exist until Newton discovered it.
Is it any wonder why religion is so pathetically silly these days?
His masters told him this nonsense and they wouldn't lie to him, would
they?  After all, like Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Jones, his masters are all
men of gods.
One of the most pointed things these cultists never address is the evil
of the very gods they created.  Imagine, creating gods that are so evil
as to murder hundreds of millions of innocent people for no known reason
-- and then falling on their faces and _worshipping_ their evil constructs.
Really amazing.

in all of your superior wisdom give us the specific, scientific reason why
homo sapiens has been for so long and for the foreseeable future locked into
multiplicity of languages?  You are asked to move beyond the myth into a

gods and devils and pantheons, just give us the straight truth.
