I asked this before but didnt get many answers and for some dumb reason it got removed. So I'm asking again.
What's the problem with science that men and women of God(Jesus Christ) can see and understand;but for some odd reason scientist and supporters of science cant see and cant figure out?
Hebrews 11:1 is a clue.
Hebrew 11:1-Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Science is extrememly narrow minded. Supposedly science acts upon evidence and seeks to prove truth. However there are millions of people who have experiences that can't be explained by science, psychic, spiritual, natural, etc. Science just wants to ignore all these experiences and claim that only the physical realm exists. They deny that humans are spiritual beings as well as natural and so, science by closing its eyes to things they can't explain becomes useless as a proof of anything. AS the Bible says in Romans 1:22 "Professing to be wise, they became fools..."

Yes you are correct in this and what it says is that a belief in god is based on faith. Faith is something that you either have or do not have although I suppose faith can come at some later time in life. The point of science is not faith but factual study about things that can be proven such as medical science is the study of the human body and its physiology and function. The point here is that I can't unprove your faith and you really can't prove what you believe in because it is faith and not fact until proven. I am an agnostic for this reason I admit I have no faith. Nothing as of yet has proven to me that god exists and in fact for myself the evidence seems to support the idea god does not exist. But that is my opinion and not fact just as your opinion differs from mine that he does exist. Also using a biblical verse to prove something to someone who doesn't as a matter of faith accept the bible as the word of god doesn't really make logical sense since those words could well be written anywhere to that person. By this theory I could say that the word of god is "there great" because I accept the Frosted Flakes cereal box as the word of god by my faith. As silly as that sounds to you using the bible's words may mean just as little to someone who doesn't believe

Baha’is believe freedom of religion and conscience is an intrinsic right of each individual and is central to human development. It lies at the heart of an individual’s integrity and identity as a person.
The Baha’i writings state that every person has the moral obligation to search independently for truth. This search is the highest expression of human will and reason. Baha’is believe adherence to religion or belief must never be coerced.
In their interpersonal relationships, Baha’is are guided by Baha’u’llah’s call to “consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship.”
In the United States, the Baha’i community advocates for religious freedom through such collaborative networks as the Congressional Working Group on Religious Freedom and the Washington Coalition for International Religious Freedom.

Science is a wonderful thing, they find new information everyday,
but science in just exploration and investigation, constantly evolving, eventually everyone will know Gods truth, it just takes time,

Not sure what the problem with science is... but the problem with your question is that you think Science is out to prove or disprove Deity. It's not... that is just what Other people use in an argument to try to support their own side. Science is about finding out how things work. What makes man tick... how did that tree grow so large.... why does a platypus look like that???? (that's one I'm waiting on an answer for) Science, with the exception of what is called Pseudo-science (Parapsychology), does not deal with things that are not seen. And Parapsychology deals with the result of unseen things in the physical world.
Now you have a clue as to how this comes about.... why argue it?

i'm a Christian. i'm additionally ashamed of people who spout off on matters which you haven't any longer any employer discussing. attempting to talk approximately quantum mechanics and string thought and Einstein's relativity in 3 paragraphs is nearly a one-legged guy at a ************ contest. It would not artwork. right this is how i've got faith. Loud, be attentive to-it-all Christians thoroughly turn off those people who could have lent an ear to three talk of religion. We lose them till we've a gamble. Their first reaction to "Christianity" would be a reminiscence or repulsion in line with somebody or some thing claiming to have the solutions in an almighty way. i could desire to represent a kinder, gentler mindset. A assisting hand; a listening ear.....much less chatter, greater appreciate and love. P.S.- Use spellchecker, guy! you're making us look dumb!

The problem with science is that people misinterpret it as the Why?, and not the How?.
Most evidence available states that human beings evolved from an earlier primate ancestor many millions of years ago (while apes, monkeys, and other modern primates also evolved from the same ancestor, explaining why we have these animals today instead of just humans). This explains HOW we exist, but it really doesn't answer WHY we exist. God is supposed to be the Why?.
How do we exist? Early primate eventually evolved into an intelligent species called Homo sapiens.
Why do we exist? Because God wanted us to.
THAT is the problem of science. People see it as the ultimate answer to why the universe is here, but all it does is say HOW the universe is here.

There is no problem with Science. Intelligent men and women of faith see nothing wrong with it as nothing in science is contraditory to anything in faith. Even churches declare that science is the knowledge of things from their causes. There is alot of misconception about what christians and churches think of science. To be Christian is not to be anti-science as science is separate from doctrine and dogma and neither should negate the other.

The problem with science is not the observation of the facts (we can all see the fossils), but the lengths some scientists go to to avoid having to admit that just maybe all the order in the universe isn't an accident.
what that has to do with Hebrews 11:1, I'm not sure.
J.P. - Test your creation theory... It takes just as much or more faith to believe that from nothing sprang a microdot of matter (for no reason) then it exploded (for no reason) creating a random array of stable elements rather than a homogenous mass from the original speck of matter, etc., etc. leading to: the ape stood up and learned to question his Creator.

Hebrews 11:1 points out the flaw rather with religion -- belief without testable evidence.

Mith, please come back when you've researched the modern state of cosmology and evolutionary theory. The singularity Big Bang is no longer considered valid (it kept throwing infinities in places infinities were bogus) -- modern understanding is refered to as the inflationary model. Further, evolution is NOT random, it's a fairly simple statistical drift scenario.
