can any rational,educated man be christian? even a fool knows that the universe was not created 5000 years ago

Answer 1

Beware of overly broad generalizations.

Statistics do indicate that the more education you have, the less likely you are to hold any belief in a deity. But there are many competent scientists (including doctors) who are firm believers; and seeing that some of those doctors may be working on me someday, I sincerely hope they're not fools.

Answer 2

Yes, because no matter how educated and rational you may be, the thought that a superior being is constantly watchingand judging you will scare the crap out of anyone. Therefore, a perfectly logical person will be too frightened to use their reasoning which shows how unlikely and ridiculous the theory of "God" is and just believe it because they have been told to believe it since they were young. They don't realize it now, they think it was "instilled" in them by God, but it's just their environment and they won't change. They are going to read this and think that I am being ridiculous and they truly believe everything in the theory is real and true. They think, YES an alien who happens to be three people at once (is he a three-headed trinity?) is watching EVERYONE ALWAYS as they have sex and get dressed etc, and then is going to JUDGE them on how they did here. And your dead relatives are watching over you too. You think you're sitting there alone at your computer? Nope, thousands of ancestors are staring at you. Oops you scratched your crotch, they're laughing now hahaha!!! NO PRIVACY. Yet it's not okay for the President to illegally spy on us, but God and dead people do it without warrants!! It's kinda ridiculous and if people could objectively analyze it, they would realize it too. But they are too brainwashed and afraid of Hell. Which is fine. I don't blame them. I respect them and understand them. And I tolerate their beliefs. And if everyone tolerated everyone else's beliefs about something which we CANNOT KNOW the answer to (death and God), then the world would be a great place!!

Answer 3

I'm a rational and educated scientist, and I'm a Christian. Because, you see, even a fool knows that all Christians do not interpret every verse of the Bible literally, and we never have. Furthermore, the Bible never has anything to say about how old the earth is.

Answer 4

LOL - Its ALMOST 6000 years old. You said even a fool knows that the earth was not created 5000 years ago. Its a good thing I do not take the word of a fool.

..., and I'm looking at you.

Answer 5

in basic terms an extremely few have self assurance THAT. maximum human beings say that the 1st 6 'days' of introduction have been in fact 'cases' or 'a while' of introduction. Hebrew is kinda iffy that way. So we don't have a topic with a 12 billion year previous universe. Why do you have a topic with the thought the super Bang grew to become into initiated by ability of an smart Entity super sufficient to understand all approximately you, and loving sufficient to settle for you besides?

Answer 6

At different points in history rational educated man believed the earth was flat, bleeding patients who had already lost blood was good for them, the earth was the center of the universe, Jews own all the banks and run Hollywood (unfortunately that last phrase - as stupid as it is - is still believed).

Answer 7

who said that God created the earth 5000 years ago? when genisis was written, it wasn't written 5000 years ago, it may have been written 10000 years ago or even more! God never told us when he made the world exactly, and scientists r really wrong when saying that the earth was made 65 million years ago.... c'mon, no human is that smart to know exactly when the dino's died. that was an estimate, an estimate that is way off.

Answer 8

People are only as smart as the sources of their knowedge... I guarantee that there are many scientific "facts" that do not hold up 100%, that 100 years from now well look back at how stupid we were for believing them.

But to answer your question, no, its not possible. the bible is all hearsay, or fables in my opinion. sure some of the names probably existed, but science has much more evidence of the world

Answer 9

Absolutely. And you are correct, the Earth was not created 5000years ago. Did you realize that no where in the Bible does it say it was.
