When science develops medication for their heart diseases, diabetes and cancer, then it's all right and genius!
When doctors detect (and sometimes cure) a birth defect of their children using genetics and biology, there is no doubt they're absolutely correct!
But woah, when they say that yeah we kinda have been on earth longer than what the Bible states, and that genetically we evolved from an ancient primate, now they are completely retarded!
Where's the logic in that?
(and can you whisper "hypocrite")

Medications for heart disease and a doctor curing a birth defect are proven science. See, they made it all the way through the 4 steps in scientific method. Darwin's theory isn't proven science, its only a theory. When a clear link is found in the evloutionary chain, then you will be correct.

There you are talking pure science (of course you have to take the Heisenberg uncertainty principal into account, there is no absolute, it's all a gamble).
Let's take one simple reality. The appendix.
First, do APES have an appendix. I'm not sure. I don't know my Ape biology very well.
In any event. This thing isn't doing us any known good. All it does is kill you if you aren't able to get quick treatment or are alergic to pennicillin.
How come EVOLUTION hasn't wiped that out in 1 million years.
I thought UN-USED, UN-NECESSARY items were take out of the equation by Natural Selection.
Why does nature continue to select the Appdenix for continuation in the human spieces and WHY isn't ONE person born without one!
Some people DO NOT GROW Tonslis, so those might be on the way out, but EVERYONE in the human race has an appdenix.
It doesn't do ANYTHING we know of and a tiny bit if chile from your mexican dinner can irritate it and start the peritonitis process.

Well, it sounds like you've made up your mind already. But, I'd like to suggest that it's not "hypocritical" to be a Christian and disagree with evolution. Evangelical Christians agree and disagree with science to the extent that it agrees with their center of truth: the Bible. If the Bible says that God created the world and everything in it, then it is logical and rational for Christians to disagree with macro evolution.
Even if you believe in macro evolution, you still need to explain where everything came from to begin with. For example, if everything came from cosmic goo or a big explosion, what brought those things about?
Another example of where Christians and "science" disagree, is in the area of embryonic stem-cell research. So, if the Bible says that human beings are precious to God, then most Christians would oppose the cloning of embryos for the purpose of scientific experimentation, even though many scientists would approve.
There will certainly be disagreements on these issues. But, I don't think you can make the case that Christians are illogical, because at times, they disagree.

Because the cancer drugs prove them right by working.
Evolution LACKS proof. They have found a few incomplete skeletons, for the MANY they say must be our there, yet we can find intact dinosaur fossils. Odd.
I know we have been on Earth longer than the BIBLE LITERALISTS state. The Bible doesnt say 6000 years, bible literalists added that up themselves, God himself never said that.
The logic is, I believe Science when it has proof, and I dont when its proof is no more than a unsubstantiaed thought in process. And when I have to choose between Science, and Religion, when neither have proof, I go with God everytime. Science may change, God never will.

I'm a Christian, and I say:
Who knows what we looked like at the beginning of time? I am a creationist, but I also believe man has evolved throughout the years, due to living conditions. That's why we have people of different color.
We probably did look like a primate. We had to hunt and gather.
And who knows when man was first created? No one knows. But, that doesn't matter.
What matters is we were created by a loving Father, in His image (which so many people misinterpret that -- God was referring to our spirit and soul, not our physical side)

Christians have questioned science on other things as well.
For a while, the Christian view of the world was that it was flat.
Also, there was the idea that the sun, moon, and stars circled around the earth.
Those two ideas are in disfavor now. Just wait, and "young-Earth Creationism" will fall out of favor too.

You're preaching to the choire here. Christians subscribe to an organized religion that brainwashed them into having tunnel vision and only believing in what is taught to them as being "right" and everything else as being "wrong". if it suits them personally, they won't say a word, but if it's science and it contradicts the bible, then it is wrong. There is no logic in it, so arguing about it is pointless, as Christians have no logical defense for their nonsense and will keep preaching the bible as their "source" of true information.

Why do you think we don't question science? Have you not heard the debate going on about stem cell research? To clarify - we question the efficacy of embryonic stem cells, which have had zero results. There have been hundreds of positive results using adult stem cells.
Also, it's called the THEORY of evolution. A theory is an unproven event.

actually, they do not question science, merely the interpretation of the data. They do so with other things as well. It is just not a hot debate so that the media will cover it. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, no hypocrisy. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Because evolution is a THEORY!!!
Medicine is proven to work. But all scientist agree that EVOLUTION IS ONLY A THEORY!
A theory can NOT be proven!
