opinion, not any facts to support their views. I'm a believer ONLY after spending a few years researching the Christian faith and if it holds any water. The Bible is the most historicly correct book ever written, that has been proven and stated by Scienctists. There are so many holes in evolution that the gov't is putting its foot down on what grants are being offered and what funds are to be used. All you people out there trying to dispute the Christian Faith, come up with some facts, not just your opinion. Thank you, A follower of Christ

I don't think there is anything wrong with being both religious and intelligent. However, there are conditions that must be met. Primarily, that what you follow doesn't violate logic and science. If you ever read the biographies of Issac Newton or Albert Einstien, regarded as the major brains of the past centuries, both were men beliving in God.

However, in itsself, the Bible contains many scientific fallicies that I came across when I was examining religions. For brevity I will list just a few:

--Genesis 1 doesn't agree with Genesis 2.
1 says plants were created first then animals and then humans
2 says humans plants then animals

and also we know that plants cannot predate the sun for it wouldn't allow photosynthesis and the development of the plant to occur.

--Genesis 2 also claims that the Earth was made of water and it rests on 4 pillars with a bronze dome and rain issued forth out of a crystal gate. Science tells us otherwise.

--Leviticus 11:6 mentions that hares chew the cud like cows when in actuality they don't. I am a molecular biologist and so when I came across this it was interesting. Hares actually lack the four chambered stomach, large rumen, and regurgitation of food to the mouth to rechew and re-swallow. Inface hares have a simple stomach and a large cecum. The stark contrast is that scientist even classified them according to this difference: hares are NONruminant herbivores, while cows ARE ruminant herbivores. Hare actually take part in coprophagy which is the recycling of feces while cows do not.

If the Bible was the word of God, how is it that God doesn't know his own creation.

--Deut. 14:8 classifies the bats as birds. Bats are scientifically NOT birds. They are considered to be mamals mammals

--Leviticus 11:20-23 describes flying insects such as beetles and grasshoppers and locusts as having four legs when in actuality they have six.

There are many more lengthy and embarassing ones. However, as a scientist myself I found it excruciatingly difficult to follow Christianity especially once I had researched it out.

The religion that I found scientifically sound along with amazing information that was far beyond its time, especially in embryology, was Islam which had the QUran revelaed over 1400 years ago. There is a great site that once helped me out in my quest: http://www.islam-guide.com/

hope this helps.

In other words Sir Isaac Newton & Thomas Jefferson were wrong when they concluded the bible had been forged?

Your assertion that science supports the bible is totally incorrect.

Everything you asserted is completely wrong.

Religious beliefs rely on ignorance & superstition. Offering a dogmatist facts would be similar to offering a monkey the keys to a car.

You are right. Most people who have opinions can not defend them whether they are Christian or atheist. And you are also correct on grants, they are getting tighter. Evolution is slipping. I can't help but wonder what the evolutionary scientist are going to try to pull next. I hope to see "evolution" fall to a myth before I die.

Isn't it amazing that 150 years after Darwin evolution is still a shaky theory? If it were that powerful wouldn't it have seen off the creationists by now?
Creationism is probably stronger now than at any time since the Church began.

Okay, first you sound really judgmental toward other Christians. My faith doesn't need facts! It is what it is! I'm glad that God spoke to you through facts, but I didn't need that. God spoke tome and I didn't need to research for years to know who He is. I know that Jesus rose from the dead and sits on the right hand of the father. Personally all I need is the bible. I know that doesn't work for everyone, but it works for me. Please be kind in all things that you do, because knowledge without love is worthless.

With love, Your sister in Christ!

Irregardless of what science proves or disproves, faith alone is all we need. Facts are in the Bible and the Words God speaks to you, personally.

You, sir, are correct.
Too many just want to throw out cheap shots.
Good argumentation involves proofs, facts, even a quote or 2 is acceptable ....but not unfounded opinion.

and when you say the Bible is historicall accurate does that mean that insects used to have four feet?
Leviticus 11:23 "But all other insects which are four-footed are destable to you."
