Is this because sheep cannot be independent thinkers? Is god afraid of ppl being smart? (I mean he really didn't want Adam and Eve to know good and evil did he?) Is science such a threat that they need to demonize it the way they did to the pagans...who are their predecessors? The tower of babel was a threat to the almighty? Whew! What do you think?

Dr. Zoom Zoom - you are right about one thing...and only one thing. I can't stand xtians. Your answers proves my point that xitanity is just an ancient pagan religion in new clothes. Pandora's box=Eve and the apple. No difference in the dogma. I do not discriminate against ppl for any other reason than the choices they make and the affect it has on the world. But you needed to "demonize" me and call me a racist? WTF? You are just like the rest of your kind. Ignorant, parroting name callers. You can put your boots in the oven....that won't make them biscuits.

Science, logic, reason, and critical thought have long been regarded (by religious people) as the enemies of religion. Considering that those are the tools of highly intelligent people, it should not come as a huge shock to learn that intelligence (or lack of it) has some connection to religious belief. In fact, there are about 40 studies, conducted over the past 80 years or so, that reveal a statistically significant NEGATIVE CORRELATION between intelligence and religiosity. In plainer language, that means that they found that the more intelligent a person is, the LESS likely that person is to be religious... or, conversely, the LESS intelligent a person is, the MORE likely that person is to be religious.
If you think about it, those findings make a lot of sense. Intelligence tests mainly provide an indication of reasoning ability and problem solving ability... logic, reason and critical thought. These are the very qualities that see through religion, and recognize it for what it is; i.e., religion cannot survive the glaring light of reason and critical thought. This was well understood by important figures in religious history. This is why the early church destroyed all the 'tainted' (non-canonical) writings, which were in conflict with dogma... Greek philosophy, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, engineering... all the good stuff. By this means, Christianity dragged humanity directly into the Dark Ages.
Just to illustrate the point, let's see what Martin Luther, the 'father' of protestantism, had to say about 'reason' and secular knowledge:
"Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God." ~ Martin Luther
"Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but -- more frequently than not -- struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God." ~ Martin Luther
"There is on earth among all dangers no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroit reason... Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed." ~ Martin Luther
"Reason should be destroyed in all Christians." ~ Martin Luther
Christianity is essentially a criminal business enterprise... in fact, it is the world's longest running and most successful Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) scam. The product they are selling is the illusion of 'salvation'... and the 'pay plan' doesn't kick in until after you're dead. Meanwhile the VICTIMS (having been deceived into believing that it is their God-given duty) are out there busily recruiting MORE victims. What a racket! FORTUNATELY, it only works on those who are gullible enough, and sufficiently lacking in critical thinking skills, to fall for it, and buy in to the prepackaged delusion. UNfortunately, THAT accounts for about 75% of the population of the USA. (There are a lot more people who DON'T know how to think properly than there are people who DO know how to think properly.) That is why there are a lot more religious people in the USA than there are 'Free-thinkers'... including Atheists. Also, Christians are generally too dense to realize that proselytizing (spreading the 'good news') is a key element of the Christian MLM MARKETING PLAN, which was instituted after Christianity lost the political power that had previously allowed them to simply torture and kill anybody who did not comply. Now, they obliviously try to just pester and annoy people to death, through persistent obnoxiousness. If you stop to think about it, you will realize that Christians are very much like the Borg, on Star Trek Next Generation: "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." I would not be surprised to learn that thoughts of Christianity provided the 'creative spark' for the Borg concept.

I think you really hate "xtians", and "sock puppet" accounts aren't unheard of on Yahoo Answers. The reason you spell it like that is out of hate. Do you call black people the "N" word too?
No Christians don't hate science or learning. Have you never read "How The Irish Save Civilization"??? Christians saved civilization from being totally destroyed by Pagans.
And what about the story of Pandora's Box? It's very similar to the story of Adam and Eve. Why did Zues give Pandora the box? Surely he must have known she would open it? Was fire such a threat to Zues that he punished Prometheus?
Christians did not demonize Pagans. Perhaps you may have heard of how Christians were thrown to the lions? Or how Nero lit them on fire at his diner parties? And the Jews are the predecessors of those evil "xtians" you can't stand, not the Pagans.
I used to hate the "evil xtians" too, but eventually I realized how they weren't the epitome of everything evil and that all that hate was just burning me up. I hope you realize it someday too. Here's some of my past answers on similar questions. May God bless you.

Some would say that science, thinking, and knowledge are all evil and satanic. The bible certainly makes that point very clear in genesis!
According to the creation myth in Genesis, Adam and Eve's "sin" was gaining knowledge. So, all humanity must suffer because Adam and Eve didn't want to have the same intellect as animals. I think the real sinner is God. But perhaps that's why he wanted humanity to remain ignorant? Independently thinking people are difficult, if not impossible, to control.

There is a "Cult of Science", you know...
It's actually like any other cult or religion...
It's all PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody has the wright to call another person stupid!
But, remember, all dogmas are wrong, and we're all slaves!
And, there is not such a thing as atheist...
If someone claims to be one,
just ask him-what the heck is life, and how it started???!!!
Once again, all religions (including science)
are forms of propaganda!
People, be spiritual inside,
you don't have to show that to others!!!

Science and Religion always make poor bedfellows. Remember, "religious" science once proclaimed heresy on anyone who tried to disprove the "truth" that the earth was flat...

No, science is not evil. People have to be taught to think for themselves, begining in childhood. It's easier to follow the herd, than to stand up for what you believe in when your beliefs go against popular opinion.

In Islam science is seen as the study of God's artwork. Knowledge of any kind that is for the benefit of mankind is also considered to be good for a Muslim.
How can a person love God and not love to study what he made?
