Why don't religious fanatics leave the science people alone?

Question

Look, we know you don't accept science. Whatever. Just don't be hypocritical about it. Throw away your computer, TV, cell phone, microwave, car, and anything else that makes your life better through science. Go live in a cave and read your mythology text by candelight away from the rest of us. We are trying to help the world, not divide people like you.

You can't have it both ways. If you want to stop evolution/old earth/global warming, then do do it with technology. The irony is beyond your fragile little mind.

P.S. There are plenty of normal religious people that accept science. This is not for you. You guys are cool.

Please READ the question before you respond and look dumb.

I am asking, why do they use science to reject science? Either they reject science completely or they accept it completely. You can't pick and choose from data. If you don't believe a scientific theory YOU have to produce conter evidence to combat it. There is no other way.

Some of you morons just don't get it!

Why do religious people selectively accept the scientific process?

That is the question! Answer that! I'm not here to debate evolution, global warming, or the big bang, because THERE IS NO DEBATE. That's my point. These are proven in science. If you reject these you reject science.

The question, again, is:

Why do religious people selectively accept the scientific process?

Answer 1

I think they feel threatened. Science is in the business of proving or disproving its own hypotheses. Why should we fear this process?

Answer 2

Get your facts straight. Science was originally created to prove the existence of God, not to disprove him. Many of the Fathers of science were Christians who without a dout had faith in Jesus Christ. Their science proved intelligent design. I am very interested in science and a fundamentalist, and I always have been and always will be. The more science tries to disprove that there is a God, or rather the scientists that are, they prove His existence more and more.

O.K., evolution, the idea that lower life forms through time became higher life forms and that their design improved through out the ages. If that is the case, than why have some forms of life stoped evolving and others have not. Is that a quirk? If the shark has been around for millions of years and we only hundreds of thousands, why are their still sharks? Why have they not evolved beyond us, we being so much younger on the evolutionary scale?
Where is the link of the Platypus to the rest of the animal kingdom? It is all by itself. Just to let you know, the bible claims that dinosaurs and men lived at the same time, bet that is a surprise. That is in the book of Job. The Behemoth is thought to be a brontosaur.

Your old earth, the bible says that with the Lord, a thousand years
is like a day and a day like a thousand years. He is outside of time. So to Him, a billion years is like a day. So it is really irrelevant as to how old the earth is, Jesus is returning soon just the same.

Global warming, are you aware that the bible says that the sun will get seven times hotter before the return of Jesus? That does not meant that the sun will put out seven times more heat, it means that we will feel the effects of the sun that much more.
Bet that is a surprise to you too.


Now take string theory for example, science says that at the sub atomic level, after you cut the smallest quarks up, you have these things that they call strings. They are the smallest objects that are in our universe. And the only way to get quantum physics and the theory of relativity to work together is that if these things exist. And that since gravity does not fit into both theories simultaneously, then there must be other dimensions or universes just a few centimeters from out own. Now all this is conjecture for these things are so small that they cannot be seen or proved to exist.
The bible says that there are visible things and invisible things. And that the spirit world where angels and demons are is just out of our sight. Where science comes up with theory's on its own, many of these things have been written about a long time ago. Are these "strings" the physical blueprint of an invisible God who holds all things together? And can the spirit world be where the rest of gravity is shared? Even though gravity does not act the same there as it does here?

And what about the Hubble telescope? Here is a piece of science that has shown us many wonderful things. At first the Hubble saw the farthest away that science has ever seen, but there was still black space out there. After recalibration, the black of space revealed more stars and galaxies, and more black space. After another calibration, MORE galaxies and stars. So the deeper we look at, "black space" the more stars we see.
What does the bible say?, God told Abraham that his heirs would be numbered as the stars in the sky, and this was correlated to the grains of sand on the beach. Now you and I both know that there is a limited number of grains there, but like it is nearly impossible to count them, same thing for the stars in the sky. So even with modern science, we seem not to be able to count all the stars in the sky. The more we look, the more we find. God proved his point.
So don't say that ALL people who believe in God don't take some stock in science, science has done some good things for mankind, but don't think that we are stupid enough to put our faith in it, for our God has done many more good things for mankind.
Sorry to carry on so, you started it.

Answer 3

I'm an engineer. I head, currently, a full dozen research projects. My specialty is developing the next generation of commercial and residential air conditioning - without CFC's or HCFC's. With everything I learn. I become more convinced that there must be God. The physics, the probabilities are far too complicated for there not to be a God.

Answer 4

You got it backwards.

Why don't the fanatics of science leave religion alone?

Evolution is voodoo science, with no facts to back it up. NONE.

And since it is merely based on faith, it is a religion.

By the way, global warming is a hoax. The Earth goes through climatic changes, and temperature changes have occurred even before the industrial revolution.

Answer 5

Perhaps it is because they feel threatened by science. They want everyone to agree with them and that is hard to do when people believe in science. They hate science because science leads people to think logically and question authority and religion. Science is their enemy because science makes their views look bad. Science is threatening their ability to pass down their way of life to their children. Maybe they can go live with the Amish.

Answer 6

I have never seen more ignorant people in my life. For one thing, no religion rejects science, they just reject certain scientific theories (ex. evolution, big bang)...did I mention these are theories? Anyway, I go to a Christian UNIVERSITY, and we have a whole science department. The only things left out are the THEORIES of evolution, and big bang.

Answer 7

It's no fun believing in fairy tales if you can't try to make everyone else believe them too, and try to stop people from thinking critically (or they'll figure out what a crock your fairy tales are!).

Oh, and I most certainly *have* seen church-types picket universities -- and elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, you name it. Anytime someone is teaching something they don't agree with, they are loud and vocal. And wrong.

Answer 8

Those type people generally ask questions here. They don't invade the zoology section of Yahoo! Answers. If they actually did, you could ask that question there or some other science section instead of Religion & Spirituality. Just common sense.

Answer 9

Funny. Modern science got its start from religious fanatics. It was because of Christianity that people realized that the universe was orderly, and not chaos, as the pre-Christian peoples thought.

This is because of the teaching from the Bible that God was a God of order, and not confusion. (I Corinthians 14:33)

Answer 10

What science are you talking about? I will attack garbage science any day of the week...such as the topics you mentioned in your 2nd paragraph.

There you go attacking people with religious beliefs as somehow small-minded...I'll put my God given brain power up against yours anytime. That's not a theory..that be fact!
