The Bible as a whole was not written by Jews. You said the Bible was written by Jews, but the part that actually makes the Bible the Bible was written by Christians. Yes, Genesis is taken from the Jewish Torah. That much is true. However, when we started down this tangent you did not say Genesis, you said the Bible. And in the end it doesn't matter who it was written by. You claim we are Anti-Semitic for supporting evolution, yet Anti-Semitism refers to hatred toward the Semites, a type of people. At no point did we attack the Jewish people. We simply mentioned that creation as described in Genesis is not what science supports as all animals, including Man required millions of years to get to where they are today. Note: This does not mean that evolution says anything about how life started. However, its explanation for how life progressed does not support the events related in Genesis.

As I stated before the link you posted doesn't work. Also, of course science changes daily. If we knew everything there wouldn't be a point in science. However, as we learn more about our universe theories have to be updated because new data has been discovered. Usually this does not discount a theory completely and in many cases strengthens it. So, I fail to see how science constantly changing is a bad thing.

More fantastic evidence that you simply don't understand the scientific method, and yet choose to decry science. Fantastic. And we wonder what's wrong with Texas? If you are indicative of the majority of Texans, I think we've found the reason.

If we step back from religion and look at it from the perspective of non-believers, we see it as unnecessary. Religion doesn't bring anything to anyone that simply being well-balanced can't. If it did, atheists would constantly be screwed-up people when compared to the religious. That is clearly not the case.
We also then have religious extremists, who are taught to be extreme through misinterpreting or perverting religion.
It makes a lot of sense to forego this unnecessary mindset that is intrinsically susceptible to perversion, which leads to extremism. It's simply not needed. Humans don't need that mumbo-jumbo crap any more. We're not living in the deserts, and we have a legal system. That's all the bible provided, and we don't need it any more. The same goes for any religion that seeks to control its adherents.
It's bollocks.
