Theism. The belief there was always something and then nothing happened for no reason and magically this something made nothing also into something and then magically rearranged into self replicating bits.
Makes perfect sense.
Also, this isn't atheism. This is cosmology, astronomy, chemistry and biology.
Why do you hate science? What has it ever done to you?
Do you understad the concept of categories? Theism is the category with only one required trait.
Deism is in the same category, but has certain requirements- it has to be a noninterventionist God.
It is like saying humanism and atheism are the same- humanism is included in the category atheism.
As for the why questions, the question "Why?" only applies when there is a purpose behind something. When there is, science CAN answer it (see the field of archeology). Where there isn't, science can't answer it. For many phenomena, asking why is pointless- there is NO answer. Why are unicorns hollow?
"Why do you hate science" was a mocking question in the vien of "And why do you hate America, sir?"

As my picture suggests, I was made in the womb. After residing approximately 9 months there, I noticed that my domicile was shrinking, and if I didn't act quick I was going to be without room. So out I went, and for 31 years I resided in South Louisiana with shorts stays in North Carolina, West Virginia, and one extended stay in Delaware.
I did my Undergrad at Louisiana State University in General Studies, which means I can speak about most things generally or about general things in an knowledgeable manner. I am also a founding Memeber of the LSU-Parousians. I completed my MA in theology from the University of Notre Dame by means of the ECHO program.
Because conversation is what makes blogging fun! All emails are possible material for blog post, so if you don't want it published tell me now or forever gasp and cringe. pcatalan (at) alumni (dot) nd (dot) edu

Skinner,
I don't follow your thought. As what you describe as theism is more rightly called deism.
Besides, science cannot logically answer why something is, but it can answer how something acts or reacts.
I don't hate science, and I have no idea how you drew such conclusions from a piece of satire that is aimed at poking fun.
I think the better question is why do people take unserious things too seriously?
