    Then why are so many atheist males, well for lack of a better word - just plan nerds (my apologies to any nerves I struck) - because the easier a member of a species is able to reproduce, the nigher on the evolutionary chain they are, by scientific definition.

    So this means that an atheist who never or rarely gets any sex, is evolutionarily lower than a theistic man who has no trouble meeting women. Ironic no?

    or maybe it means some religious folks throughout history killed the infidels that would not convert to their religion...

    during the last 100 yrs or so though we have evolved as a species, some though are still stuck back in biblical times

    I could be a flat-earther, and if I am able to get more women than you, I'm still on higher on the evolutionary-hierarchy than atheists are. :lol:

    Atheism is growing.

    Hypothesis disproved.

    More people are converting to atheism, but the ability to reproduce (the better they are with women) is what determines ones place on the evolutionary hierarchy.

    Ironic? I guess you could call it that if you want to.

    It's like companies who sell products that break just so they can sell another unit. "Better" products don't indicate more successful company.

    Besides, I've seen no statistic about the amount of sex people from different religions have. And even if I did believe that atheists are nerds to a larger extent as young adults, nerds often grow up to be successful and for all I know end up married and raise a family.

    One's skill at attracting as many potential mates as possible determines their level on the evolutionary heirarchy.

    Some pimply dude who wears Flying Spaghetti Monster T-shirts and spends all day bashing Christians isn't that high on the evolution chain, just sayin'.

    like the quote on "Idiocracy", no one ever said evolution favors intelligence with no natural predators to thin the heard

    octomoms and dead beat dads could someday rule the world, because they out reproduce us all...

    You're kidding of course. By this logic rabbits would be much higher than humans, mice higher than rabits, fish higher than mice etc. And insects, wow can they reproduce! Hmmmmm, it seems to me you've got it backwards (I'm not surprised).

    Actually your premise is kind of silly. There is no "evolutionary hierachy". Every creature that exists today is just as "evolved" as any other creature. Evolution is an ever branching tree where everything today is at the tip of the branches.

    It only applies within the context of each species - if rabbit A is better at mating than rabbit B, then rabbit A is higher on the evolutionary chain.

    Do you have any scientific source to back up this bull(*)(*)(*)(*) you are spewing?

    Where does the theory of evolution say anything about stuff being higher or lower on the evolutionary "chain" based on its breeding?

    Ah, you seem to be a victim of the common misconception that atheism is a full time activity. Most atheists I know don't spend any time at all bashing Christians and don't even know what the Spaghetti Monster is. The problem is that if they don't, you don't identify the as atheists. I know plenty of atheists who are socially adept, the most socially "skilled" people I know are atheists.

    I think your idea comes from the fact that a person has to be socially inept to go around telling people like you that he's an atheist, at least in any situation in which you could identify him as pimply.

    This is odd because I really don't have issues in that department. I know of several women who would be willing to go upstairs, however they are just looking for a sex buddy.

    Buuuutttttt not my cup of tea. I tend to leave them in a town an hour away when I have spend over $100 on dinner, the show, and fuel only to be told "Um.... we aren't dating. I just want a (*)(*)(*)(*) buddy". LOL BUWHAHAHAHAHA.....lol Dating or nothing in my book.

    Anyway... yeah. I know secular guys who have problems with women, I know theistic guys that have problems with women, I know secular guys that don't have problems with women, and I know theistic guys who don't have problems with women. So I see the argument as being moot.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to prove, but I do know you're going about it poorly.

    The idea that nerds don't have sex died 10 years ago. The premise of the OP sounds like something I've heard a dozen times from guys who peaked in high school.

    This is such a sad OP. The last desperate act of a boy who has no valid criticisms or arguments against a superior position. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

    The sentence "during the last 100 yrs [...] we have evolved as a species" is indeed an interesting stone-egg.
