This post is not about Atheism per se, but more about how we will sometimes, many times, engage in some truly insane thinking.
There was a secret government operation known as A119 which was a plan to blow up a nuclear device on the Moon to impress/scare the Russians.

The news media is covering this as our plan to "blow up the moon" but I seriously doubt that 1950s nucelar devices could have done this. In fact the bomb they planned on using was about a tenth of the size of the one dropped on Hiroshima. Though this is how we get Space:1999.
Who was one of the people that pointed out that this plan was, well, insane? Carl Sagan.
Listen to the Scientists people. They don't always know better, but at least they know WHY they know what they know.
