If you use your religion as a flimsy excuse to defy established scientific facts due to cognitive dissonance rooted in your own ignorance, you're intellectually dishonest and will be challenged at every turn by intellectual honesty. Moreover, you're not doing your belief god any favors by pitting it against something that can be proven.

That's a lot more diplomatic, but consider that just about everything I write regarding religion is very restrained and toned-down. My personal beliefs are very contrary and hostile to religion, but I don't say anything unless I can back it up with evidence.
