The third comic page linked to looks like a visual representation of the Gish Gallop. There's good, scientific counter to each item brought up. By the time even one is explained in a conversation or debate, ten more erroneous pseudo-facts have been brought up.

It gets even better. There are museums and 'theme parks' paid for, or given massive tax breaks by state government, such as in Kentucky, that show things from a young-earth, literal-bible perspective, that further require employees to profess their christianity if they want to be employed.

In one of his books (A Brief History of Time or The Universe in a Nutshell), Dr. Stephen Hawking recounts meeting a pope who had declared that science must not investigate the formation of the universe earlier than a certain arbitrary point, to not thereby look too closely at what god did. Rather too late by the time the declaration was made, and so far, no proof of a cosmic being.
