Before the Big Bang

I disagree. Humans also invented yardsticks but that doesn't mean that height, width, and depth are illusions or inventions. Like time, they're very real properties of space. (Actually, spacetime.)

Uh, yes. Obviously. So what? A second is only as long as we say it is.But it doesn't matter if I measure the distance between New York and London in miles, or you do it in kilometers. We're both measuring the same thing; the amount of space between New York and London exists, and is very real.

So, why aren't they?Why the higher rate of divorces among believers? Why are atheists so under-represented in prisons?

Honestly? If elements of your faith would butt out of science, you wouldn't see this happening. But as long as a major movement within your faith demands that its fairy tales be advanced on the same scientific footing as genuine research, you're going to see the backlash.Clean house before you accuse us of "ganging up on your faith." Quite frankly, your faith is the one that started it. Which was what I was talking about. Why do the people who believe in God have worse real actions in spite of their supposed better real beliefs?

The plural of "anecdote" is not "data". I'm telling you what their actions say. Their actions say that those who believe in God are less likely to act responsibly.
