What has theology ever said that is the smallest use to anybody? When has theology ever said anything that is demonstrably true and is not obvious? I have listened to theologians, read them, debated against them. I have never heard any of them say anything of the smallest use, anything that was not either platitudinously obvious or downright false. If all the achievements of science were wiped out tomorrow there will be no doctors but witch doctor’s, no transport faster than horses, no computers, no printed books, no agriculture beyond subsistence peasant farming. If all the achievements of theologians were wiped out tomorrow with anyone noticed smallest difference? Even the bad achievements of science work: the bombs, and sonar guided whaling vessels! Achievement of theologians don’t do anything, don’t affect anything, don’t mean anything. What makes anyone think that theology is the subject at all? - Richard Dawkins
