When studying in school during biology and geology, do you put your fingers in your ears?

Question

and say 'laalalalalala, I'm not listening, this is all a satanic conspiracy because all the scientists hate God, lalalallalalala."

Do you repeat the mantra every time you hear the word "prehistoric" or 65 million years ago, or you know, a huge chunk of your text books?

how does it feel to know there is a huge global consiracy trying to brainwash children when all they need to learn is the bible.

....much like in the middle east where all they learn is the Koran.

Now THAT'S education.

Answer 1

I love biology and geology and I'm a Christian.

Nothing in either subject contradicts my faith.

Answer 2

Biology- Does a woman automatically have a child or does she have sex with a man to create one? Geology- The elements are already there so how does geology evolve them into new ones? Unfortunately, some of us also paid attention at school and the answers haven't changed. No new elements found during my life time.

Answer 3

The Flying Spaghetti Monster will smite thee

Added:

Think about some of the religious right claims.
The speed of light is 'different' now than it was 'in the beginning' so that is how galaxies can be 100 million light years away.

Rocks wear at a different rate today. That is why 'the great flood' wore out the rocks in the grand canyon so quickly. Rock is much harder now... Ahem, volcanoes make new rock now, and it is pretty hard. Was it different then?

Besides, is it 'intelligent design' to give newborns brain malformations so they are retarded, and die young? Is it ID for humans to walk upright on a columnar spinal column designed for 4 legged creatures by evolution as a suspension bridge?

Come on, keep being skeptical, and keep asking questions. At least YOU have a brain to see through this bulls**t

:)

Answer 4

Okay you know everything, you think that you do. One question if you can answer it, where you there 65 million years ago? 100 million? 2 billion 6 billion 10 billion? Lets say just 2 million years ago - so since you were not an eye witness to the events that you are reporting as truth, then it is truly a belief system that you are professing isn't it? Come on, you know it is, you are just not willing to say it out loud - "I believe" "I believe" in the tooth fairy since I have never seen it, and some one left a quarter under my pillow, I believe. Or even better have you seen any species that has truly evolved? No. Hmm interesting - but hey we Christians are idiots because we believe in all powerful God instead of all power mud! or all powerful man who turns into god - but then how can man turn into what they don't believe in? Hmm another ridiculous observation.

Answer 5

It is obvisous that you did IF you ever bothered to go to Church. Here are some quotes you might want to think about...


"There is no incompatibility between science and religion... Science shows that God exists." - Prof. D. Barton, Nobel Prize Chemistry

"The principle of [divine] purpose ... stares the biologist in the face wherever he looks ... . The probability for such an event as the origin of DNA molecules to have occurred by sheer chance is just too small to be seriously considered ... ."Ernst Boris Chain - Nobel Prize in medicine

"If I had no other data than the early chapters of Genesis, some of the Psalms and other passages of Scripture, I would have arrived at essentially the same picture of the origin of the universe, as is indicated by the scientific data." Nobel Prize-winning physicist Arno Penzias (Big Bang Theorist)

"So many of my colleagues are Christians that I can't walk across my church's fellowship hall without tripping over a dozen physicists."
--William D. Phillips awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize in physics

and from a former atheist who was a prof. at Oxford C.S. Lewis
"Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it."

"Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it."

Answer 6

One of my sons goes to a junior high schoo that teaches creationism only, not evolution. My son does not agree with creationism, but he does the study and learns what he is taught. I don't foresee that he will suddenly become a creationist just because of this. We have plenty of scientific resources at home that he can read.

Now, if I and my son, non-Christians, can be tolerant of a school that teaches creationism, why can't Christians be tolerant when something is taught that they disagree with. It seems to me that Christians would be the ones to be tolerant.

The fact is, many Christians, unlike what their god teaches, are some of the most intolerant people I have ever met.

And blah blah blah.

Answer 7

My God breathes into flowers to give them life. Oh you're right thats photosynthesis.You will have to admit some of the igneous and metamorphic rocks are purely satanic.

Answer 8

Pssst... learn a little more about the topic. They don't have a choice.... whereas in the USA it's OK to tear down our morals and beliefs through our education system, which has put our nation where it is today. Which is a generation of teens/young people that think they know everything.

Answer 9

good question. ivan b, were you there 2000 years ago? and by the way both microevolution happens every day, and macroevolution has been observed as well.

Answer 10

What Nicholas H. said. Also, not every Christian is a creationist. My church supports evolution.
