An inability to think laterally rather than literally. In fact funnily enough now that I think about it, all 4 of the people I personally know who figured out the horse-fly problem were deeply devout. Those who kept petulently shouting "It's impossible! There's no solution!" thought of themselves as 'rational athiests'. Their rigid adherence to a narrow way of thinking limits their available store of information.

If the general picture of an expanding universe and a Big Bang is correct, we must then confront still more difficult questions. What were conditions like at the time of the Big Bang? What happened before that? Was there a tiny universe, devoid of all matter, and then the matter suddenly created from nothing? How does that happen? In many cultures it is customary to answer that God created the universe out of nothing. But this is mere temporizing. If we wish courageously to pursue the question, we must, of course ask next where God comes from. And if we decide this to be unanswerable, why not save a step and decide that the origin of the universe is an unanswerable question? Or, if we say that God has always existed, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always existed?
— Carl Sagan
tl;dr adding god in doesn't explain anything, it just adds an extra step in the big bang explanation.

Fuck off, mate, I reckon that Christianity is a load of shite made up by the jews. My mate Baz down the pub found out about Zionism and how Jews want to exterminate white people. And what was Jesus? A bloody kike.
