So much wrong with that comment:

1. Believing that the earth is older than 6,000 years old hardly makes one an atheist. I would venture to guess that the majority of Christians are not young earth creationists.

2. Trying to scientifically figure out what has happened on earth in the past is hardly tantamount to “hating God”. Why would God give us the intelligence to persue scientific questions and the curiosity to do so if He didn’t want and expect us to use them? The Bible is not a science text. It may be inerrant, but it tells us what we need to know to get along with each other and create a civilized society. I don’t believe it gives a full and complete account of all possible scientific questions. That’s not its purpose. Besides, God helps those who help themselves, right? Isn’t it better for us to find out these answers ourselves rather than rely solely on God to spoon feed us?

3. The essential message of Jesus was that we are all sinners and can all be forgiven because of His sacrifice. Even those who doubt can be redeemed. This commenter is way out of line to presume to know what will happen to anyone who doubts Jesus. Perhaps Jesus will work to overcome their doubt. Perhaps they will be forgiven. This commenter sounds VERY judgemental for a purported Christian.

I agree that the commentor was mocking what he considered creationists to be.
