Hey, can you please not post like this to HN? This is way, way beyond what's allowed here, no matter how bad someone's comment is or you feel it is.
Also, your account unfortunately has a history of posting unsubstantive and flamebait comments. We ban accounts that do that—we have to, because they destroy the curious conversation that HN is supposed to be for. I don't want to ban you, so if you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd appreciate it.

He has a really impressive public track record of technical achievements and reaching goals he boasted publicly about. And more than demonstrated his technical abilities and moral stance over the years.
> I read this often and maintain the attitude that scripture, science, art are all branches of the same Tree.
Have you considered that having a tree where one of the branches lets you believe things based on little, bad, or no evidence, and those beliefs are then unable to be challenged, which leads to you being able to make laws based on those beliefs, is not a great idea? I sure wouldn't eat an apple from that tree!
