Do you think there will ever be a point where religious people accept logic?

Question

I was talking to a college professor about this the other day, and it was a very interesting discussion. He enlightened me that we have advanced much further in a few theories I was very interested in than I thought. The scientific world has moved on, with less than 2% of scientists still believing in the possibility of a higher power in an organized religion sense. After talking for awhile I realized it will not matter how advanced we came, no matter how far we evolve, many humans will still let their most primal fears control their beliefs and lives.

I am not talking about any certain religion, because they are all equally controling on the mind. It is just, as I grow older, I am growing increasinly aware of how primal we still really are as a society.

Answer 1

You spoke it brother.

RAmen.

Answer 2

true Christianity embraces logic and sees all knowledge as "God's Knowledge." Think about Jesus, you know the guy who Christianity was created for, and his reasoning systems. He taught by questioning and people learned from him through logic. Yes, I agree many Christian are not willing to take on the issues, but lets not be close minded about people who we think are close minded that would be true hypocrisy. Maybe the true problem is that not all "Christians" really follow the methods of Christ. Further on evolution, every professor thinks they are right and all can make arguments sound very convincing, however, statistics show that the acceptance rate of evolution is dropping drastically. And lastly, will cultures every stop returning to the roots of their primal existence?

Answer 3

I think that religious people will slowly start to lose faith, thanks to progressive thinking. It will start out small, with things like religious people supporting intelligent design (pseudo science) or even evolution & a woman's right to choose, then evolve over many generations into logic and truth. The process will take a long time, but my hope is that humans will believe in science and not fiction before they blow themselves up. Maybe I'm being optimistic. But give us a few thousand years of intellecual evolution, and I think logic will pull through.

Answer 4

No. Faith is the absence of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

Answer 6

They already do accept logic. The logic we accept is God's logic and not humans logic.

Answer 7

Logic is one of the things that makes me religious.

Answer 8

So why are there Christian scientists, researchers, teachers and college professors. Shouldn't they have eliminated themselves?

Answer 9

When you are on your knees before the judgment seat of God, will you be screaming at Him that it is still illogical for you to believe what's about to happen to you?

Answer 10

no
