The absolute worst person in the World a Muslim, or Christian, or Hindu religious leader wants out there is someone out there asking that people use critical thinking skills, reason, and scientific evidence as they go through life. It totally threatens their careers.
You must be another one of those theists that would sooner choke to death than admit you are ever wrong about anything...I see quite a few of them here, even quibbling over meaningless minutia.
It was the scientist that was wrong, the one who is supposed to have all the answers.

Scientists are supposed to SEARCH for answers. Not have all the answers. Anyone who tells you he has all the answers is full of sh*t. Like your local religious leader, perhaps...
But in point of fact it doesn't depend on where you live after all, now that I've done the math. By flipping a coin, you are going to be wrong 50% of the time.
In contrast, here is a graph showing the actual success that meteorologists have predicting rainfall from one to seven days ahead of time.
Darn. You were wrong. You are much, much, much worse predicting rainfall based on a coin toss than meteorologists are using science.
Test over.
You lose.
Does a 30% chance imply to you that it will, or that it won't? What it does is hedges their bets, so that they are ALWAYS right. They will never say, it WILL rain today. They will say that there's a chance.
Well, there's a chance I might get hit by a car on my way to work too, so if it ever winds up happening, you'll know that I predicted the occurrence beforehand.
Meanwhile, every day that it doesn't happen, you'll have to remember that I only said that there was a chance, not that it was definite.

Science isn't supposed to have all the answers all the time. Science searches for answers. Science has the answers most of the time, unlike religion which has answers none of the time.
If you were to disprove my religion I'd abandon it in a heartbeat. If you could show me Christ never rose from the grave, I'd give it up immediately.
There are gigabytes of threads and posts here on evolution in which you have been provided ample evidence, yet you reject it wholesale in a breathtaking display of intellectual dishonesty.
I never said anything about disproving your religion.
