Bevets' Law

As any discussion thread involving science grows longer, the probability of a religious flamewar approaches 1. See "Godwin's Law" in which a similar principle involves political threads ending with somebody invoking Hitler or the Nazi party.

From the website Fark.com, in which a user named Bevets was a common contributor on the side of religion in religious threads, or in science threads in which religion was invoked.

"Say what you will about the probability of quantum mechanics being unprovable, but you don't see atheists picketing in front of Bible manufacturing facilities because they don't agree with what's in that book."

"You just invoked Bevets' Law"
