The Atheist’s Bible

To the best of our knowledge at the time of writing, the universe is about 13.7±0.2 thousand million years old, 2 and the Earth is about 4.567±1% thousand million years old.

I thought it was standard practice to go from millions to hundred millions to billion and skip thousand millions. Will this be the first controvery of the atheist bible or will millions of people conform to the old notion that a million millions is a billion.

I think “thousand million” is the British way of saying “billion.” You’re right though, this is just the beginning of the Great Atheism Schism. In less than a century there will be bloody conflict between dozens of factions, bickering and dickering over every letter on every page.

I’m so glad to have been alive at the beginning of this, when people knew the True Meaning of Atheism. My meaning of course, not yours.

globalizati,
No, I haven’t seen that SouthPark episode. I foresee these things because I have the Gift of Prophesy. As any proper prophet should, I have downloaded the Atheist’s Bible PDF file and have deleted a few things and added quite a lot about supporting all sorts of things that I favor, everything from politics to my favorite flavor of ice cream. There’s enough confusing mumbo jumbo added to keep folks coming back to me for clarification, and an address for sending your checks and money orders payable to Richard Wade. All adherents to my True Atheist Bible are urged to kill all the followers of any other version. I will nail my shamelessly plagiarized but True version to the door of the offices of American Atheists and then sit back and wait for the money to roll in.
