Given what we know about the origins of the Universe and life on Earth today vs. what they knew then, I think it is reasonable to suppose that these extremely intelligent and forward-thinking men might come to a more "progressive" view and not see a need for god at all. That's just my opinion of course, but I don't think you're comparing apples to apples, so to speak.
Regardless, I don't believe in god, but my problem is with organized religion. People are of course free to believe whatever they like, however silly those beliefs might be.
Right...Joe's anti-catholic because Hitler was raised Catholic. Flawless logic as usual.
Incidentally, my father would SO have kicked your fathers's a$$ at the soap kitchen!
Funny how that works, huh?
