Since Christians dont believe in science, why do they use it in their everyday lives?

Question

a little hypocritical, no?

Chocolate face: i was christian 20 years, i know that dogma inside out. you either believe in science or you dont. That means evolution too. Christian science is an apologetic attempt to coincide two different concepts that can never be resolved - escatological vs scientific views

Answer 1

Why do you generalize so? Science exists, most Christians that I'm familiar with believes that.

Answer 2

Eschatology V. Science? Go look up both of their meanings.
You were "Christian" for 20 years, you were a tear or you are a liar, I betting on the later.
Since Christians or people who claimed to be Christian are the founders of most branches of Modern Science (Example: Genetics was founded by a monk) it becomes hard to make since of you above statement outside of your narrow mind atheistic frame of reference. Christianity is a religion based on faith in the person and Godhood of Jesus Christ. Science on the other hand deals with and only with measurement things within the physical realm. Example: The general gas laws deal with the nature of gas as is observable scientifically (measurable) so no it’s not hypocritical but one complements the other. Now the Theory of evolution is a unifying field theory and is just that a "theory" unlike say Boyle's Law, or the Second Law of Thermodynamics (Entropy-Which Contradicts the theory of evolution on a cosmic level.) Unlike a hypothesis which can be tested (It is empirical and thus truly scientific.) a unifying field theory is always at best speculation, it is not empirical verifiable as a whole and thus is not even scientific in the way that the scientific method can be used to measure a give hypothesis.
Your statement tells every one that is informed that you are not have a good day my life long atheist friend , hope you find Christ before you end up in Hell with the devil you don't believe exists.

Answer 3

You don't "either believe in science or don't". For instance I believe in gravity because I can witness it. Yet I do not accept things like Darwinistic Evolution because I have neither witnessed it or seen any convincing evidence of it. Now if you held out a pencil and it took 11 million years to drop an inch, I would be pressed to say there is no such thing as gravity since I couldn't ever witness any evidence of it. But since I see the principles of gravity, I can accept it. But with Evolution, I cannot.

Answer 4

I'm just curious as to where you got the notion that Christians don't believe in science. Ultimately, Christians don't base what they believe on whether or not science proves anything but on the Word of God, the Bible. A born-again Christian's beliefs are based on faith by grace and not on scientific theory or hypothesis.

Answer 5

It is not that they don't believe in science, like Atheists don't believe in God, there are other principles involved as well.
They have to admit that science has done wonderous things over the last few centuries, and with them, through their beliefs, that everything we have is a gift from god, means they are not as selfish to instantly take up using things such as coputers.

I find it a little more hypocritical when an Atheist is in a life or death situation and they still pray to God that they will not die; seems a ittle odd to just ask god to save them when they have lived their life never believing.

Answer 6

Have you asked yourself why science and civilization as we have it now have their origins in christian nations. I tell you that science has benefited from christianity too. Science has its place, which is to expand man's understanding of the created and to improve his life here on earth. That is why it is important to everyone not christians alone.

Science however is not absolute in its self because as new discoveries are made every day, old theorems and laws are discarded or modified as well. This is because of the limited amount of knowledge man has and his complete reliance on the five senses to guide him. This is what makes science quite dynamic and interesting.

Evolution on one hand has not yet disproved the existence of God neither has it proved that the world and universe we live in today is as a result of undefined, random, and chaotic chemical reactions. Why should christians hinge their faith on it.

Answer 7

actually the scientific method was developed by creationists such as Lord Bacon

if you mean naturalism origin science that is not merely the scientific method... origin sciences in the case of naturalism involve a set of prior assumptions and philosophies committed to prior to looking at the data and coloring how the data is interpretted

if you mean operational sciences like technology, medicine or agriculture nothing of positive benefit even rests on evolutionary theories in those areas

if you mean origin sciences.. that is more akin to the sleuthery of historical studies and the impressiosions associated with it and not releatable, observable and testable inthe same way


the scientific method is not incompatible with theism or Christianity and in fact the scientific revolution flourshished in post reformation europe

Answer 8

Why wouldn't Christians believe in science? I mean, yes there are some funky groups out there that don't - but they are less then one percent of the entire Christian population.

Really - where did this idea come from? I'll have to tell my husband that he needs to convert so that he can keep using science in his every day life.

Answer 9

Im a Christian and I believe in much of science as well. Although much of science that is said to be concrete is found not to be as advancements are made.
Much of the laws of science were put into place by God. Just ask Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton (both Christians).

Answer 10

We do not have to believe in science because it deals with things that are tangible and are bound by time and distance. We just accept and receive what our physicals senses perceive. We need to believe, to have faith for things spiritual, because they invisible, eternal and unchanging. For example we do not have to believe in a tree or a rocket because we can see them. No Christians are not hypocritical, they know how to put science and spirituality in the right places.
