FUCKERS!

I think most folk who identify themselves as atheists today are "agnostic atheists", Atheism and agnosticism have become interchangeable words.

They are used interchangeably, but mistakenly so. Agnosticism is, fundamentally, "I don't know". Both viewpoints have validities and shortcomings. Atheism is "Definitely not", with little tolerance for compromise.

It's kind of silly to deny individual deities while allowing others credence, isn't it? I mean, I can't think of any creation myth that is even remotely scientific in nature. If anything, the Abrahamic faiths did a better job here than most: They left the details vague enough that debate still exists (whereas no one offers a serious argument favoring the idea of the world being hatched from a bird's egg or fell from a tree like some cosmic fruit, &tc.). They boned themselves by trying to be specific with the dates, but you can look at much of Genesis and, with some loose interpreting, liken it to an approximation of the Big Bang and subsequent events as they relate to our planet. God obviously didn't create Adam from dust as Genesis implies, but theories of abiogenesis have roots just as humble, don't they?
