When it comes to science, rightards don't get to have an opinion.

I always liked "You're entitled to your own opinion; you are not entitled
to your own facts."

An opinion is only as good as the evidence that supports it

Les Hellawell
Greeting from:
YORKSHIRE - The White Rose County

"In our more diverse and secular society, the place of religion has
come to be a matter of lively discussion. It is rightly acknowledged
that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue and that the wellbeing
and prosperity of the nation depend on the contribution of individuals
and groups of all faiths and of none. "

- Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
- from a speech to the Synond of the Church of England in 2010

So an opinion without support will sink without trace, unless the
person holding it continues to blow hot air. :P

Except in politics where opinions are far more important than
facts.

And we have evidence galore for the existence of God. It's so strong, there is
no other reality.

True. That's not to say that rightarded Christianics can't openb their
yippers and expose their Republican IQs for all to see, they still have
free speech despite their Christanic efforts to silence free speech,
yet when it comes to matters of science, rightarded opinions are dismissed.

If the insane cultists had evidence for any of their gods and
goddesses, the insane cultists would have provided it long ago.
The fact that they can't speaks volumes about the lunacy of
cult savages.
