oh gosh this question gives me a headache. All men you listed are idiots through and through. Scientists DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING. that is why they hypothesize based on evidence observed, do experiments over and over and over, and the theory with the closest possible results is the one generally accepted by the public and all intelligent people. They don't claim to know everything and are still the ones labelled ignorant. you know what? macro evolution is a theory. Gravity is a theory. Germ theory is a theory.
Did humans evolve? yes. Does gravity work? yes. Do germs exist? yes. But they are all theories, so why should they work? because theory does not mean a loose guess. It is based on real evidence. The men listed believe in things with blind faith. They are the ignorant ones. They claim to know the answers to the universe based on a book, written over a period of hundreds of years by so many different people, translated and edited hundreds of times. Why should we trust the worlds oldest game of telephone?
Many atheists dont claim creation is stupid. most believe it is simply illogical. But be aware that atheism has nothing, repeat NOTHING to do with science. Also, to your first point, all it takes is a little logic to know how absurd creation is. Those who really understand evolution are those who firmly understand the logic and rightness of it.
Maybe you should read the bible cover to cover, perhaps twice. You will realize how disgusting and crazy it really is. It's not the things the church teaches that is terrible. It's the things they leave out which is the most disturbing.
