You missed the point, big fella. I merely stated that the claim was accurate, which it is. They laughed it off -- that's why I pointed it out.
But granted, I agree, it is hard to take Eddie seriously when discussing any topic outside of BJJ, as his process to seeking truth is embedded with absurd ideologies and illogical notions.
With that said, where there is government, there is corruption. The lying from high-ranking government officials is ample and unbridled. I dont believe a word that comes out of any of their mouths. Granted, I dont find everything to be a conspiracy either. But more to your point, I am quite certain that Eddie didnt bring up that point to prove an existence of god. He presented this fact to demonstrate irony. Perhaps, I'm wrong, but Eddie isnt affiliated with any of the Abrahamic doctrines, their branches, sects or denominations.

Since the Age of Enlightenment in the West, the transition you're speaking of has lessened significantly. Sure, the first universities in which mathematicians and users of the scientific method operated came from the Middle Eastern Region of the world, but that period was short lived (i.e., adherence to Islam eventually vanquished this effort, and christianity played a role in its falling).
Today, most contemporary intellectuals and scientists never experienced an abandoning of faith, because they were never pinned down by a religious indoctrination. After all, most of the fundimentalist Christian population in the US (evangelicals) consists of the older generation, socioeconomically disadvantaged and/or uneducated. In general, the supporters of fundimentalist religious ideologies are from oppressive social systems. Hence, the lowest earning quintile is often bound to god, because they lack social upward mobility.
