The poster isn't attacking atheism-it is attacking:

cosmology
astrophysics
astronomy
geology
chemistry
biology
paleontology

Samuel,

With the exception of cosmology, which has a philosophical component woven in, and palaeontology, which betrays true study because of the presuppositions it begins with, the list you have provided deals with scientific study. It deals with science. Since evolution is not true science the poster in no way attacks true science. True science is defined by that which is testable, reproducible and provable. Evolution is a philosophical world-view build on conjecture and imagination. The idea that life’s complex chemical building blocks (organic molecules), such as amino acids, are simply the result of random chance devoid of any intelligent influence, is not only ridiculous in the highest degree, it is quite simply impossible. Every creature on the planet has a unique genetic code, complex information for the purpose of reproduction, preservation and repair. Honest observational scientific study will lead a clear-thinking and rational person to the logical conclusion that complex design requires the services of a designer. To set your mind against such logic is to set yourself up to being nothing more than a fool.
