Any thinking, rational person of today has to admit that in the year 2005, God is an absurb hypothesis.

This is not true. Thinking, rational people often get wrong answers to tricky questions, and there are still plenty of tricky questions concerning theism.

I'd like to recommend the silly focus on the "intelligence" of a person as a measure of his/her theories be herewith discarded. This is simply the logical fallacy of an appeal to authority (and a not very good one, at that!).

Any theories, arguments, etc. should be evaluated on their own merits, and the so-called "intelligence", "rationality", reputation and/or any other characteristics of their proponents should be regarded as irrelevant.

Thank you.
