Why do christians advocate their religion as an alternative scientific theory when they claim that it works on faith, in the first place! Does it show that "faith" as a basis of their religion is losing it's credibility and they're shifting towards methods of science to prove their religion but obviously they end up looking fools.
What do you think about christians calling scientists out of themselves to prove ridiculous stories of Noah's Ark, Young earth, Creationism from Genesis, etc...

My concept: As a Christian i think that the explanation that a lot of my faith connect technological know-how with atheism, is via the fact someplace down the line somebody reported it replaced into genuine. As a Christian i admire technological know-how, i think of it particularly is a large gadget for human beings to purpose and be attentive to the way God created each and everything. To me, the large Bang concept confirms what Genesis reported in the beginning up the international replaced into void and without choose, meaning that the international did no longer exist. in truth the international did no longer have any shape and it replaced into formed. Do i be attentive to the right info, no, yet neither do scientists. anybody is purely flying via area attempting to verify why this does this and why that does that. additionally, observe that as quickly as scientists come across a treatment for something, they consistently say that it replaced into got here upon. The be conscious got here upon, for this reason, potential that it has consistently been there purely that no person has observed it till that distinctive 2d. it particularly is an identical situation with God that there's no longer something new below the solar (Ecclesiastes a million:9), I doubt that this could make any experience to anyone else, and that i'm specific there'll be many that criticize it.

Isaac Newton - Anglican (rejected Trinitarianism, i.e.,
Athanasianism; believed in the Arianism
of the Primitive Church)
Albert Einstein Jewish
Johann Gutenberg Catholic
Christopher Columbus Catholic
Louis Pasteur Catholic
Galileo Galilei Catholic
Charles Darwin Anglican (nominal); Unitarian
Nicolaus Copernicus Catholic (priest)
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier Catholic
James Watt Presbyterian (lapsed)
Michael Faraday Sandemanian
Faraday's parents were members of the obscure religious denomination of the Sandemanians, and Faraday himself, shortly after his marriage, at the age of thirty, joined the same sect, to which he adhered till his death. Religion and science he kept strictly apart, believing that the data of science were of an entirely different nature from the direct communications between God and the soul on which his religious faith was based.

John Dalton Quaker
Thomas Edison Congregationalist; agnostic
Edison attended a Congregational church in Ft. Myers, Florida, where he had a winter home. The church was renamed for him and is now the Thomas Edison Congregational Church. http://www.edisonchurch.org/
Antony van Leeuwenhoek Dutch Reformed
Alexander Fleming Catholic
Werner Heisenberg Lutheran
Gregor Mendel Catholic (Augustinian monk)
Max Planck Protestant
Now if you are going to try to make the argument that you are smarter than Nicolaus Copernicus, Werner Heisenberg , Gregor Mendel and Max Planck PLEASE, by all means do so.
Problem is, to do that...you will have to actually read their work and understand it first!!!
Get back with me when you've done so. I think you'll have a lot of fun with Heisenberg's uncertianty principle. Of course being smarter than them... what with them being believers and all, it should be a snap!
Good luck with that!

A) You're not thinking. Not all Christians think or feel this way. In fact, it's a minority who do. Most of us are NOT fundamentalists and they're the ones making all the noise.
B) Believe it or not, there are a multitude of physical scientists who are Christians. They have no problem with recognising that Genesis is NOT history, but theology and they leave it to theologians like me.
C) Generalizations can be dangerous. They have a nasty habit of being untrue in ways that will inevitably up and bite the speaker on the bum. Beware! Open mouth, change foot is neither sanitary nor tasteful.

It appears that someone has been lying to the idiots on this board.
Einstein did not believe in a literal god.
Edison was an Atheist.
Darwin was an Atheist.
Curry was an Atheist.
Most of the Nobel Prize winners are not believers in the biblical God.
Sagan, Hawking, Penrose, Dawkins and the other contemporary scientists are not believers.
Time for the Christians to move beyond their Alchemist hero, Newton.

Our religion is not alternate science. You shouldn't drink hard liquor before you think. It messes up your capacity to see reality.
Creation backs up what we believe. Faith is in Christ for our salvation. We would never know anything true about creation if God hadn't opened our blind eyes and made it clear we didn't evolve.
You evidently aren't aware that Christians are still encouraged
to think outside the box after they are saved. That is one of the biggest bigoted problems with extreme evolutionists like Dawkins. So intelligent that they hate intelligence that proves their intelligent observations false. Evolution denies the very existence of "intelligent design" (intelligence) yet somehow thrives on their own "intelligent?" understanding of things.
Talk about hypocrisy! This is hypocrisy maxed out!
I will give you this challenge which you will never have an answer for. Go back to the beginning of Darwin's tree where the basic life form that all life evolved from is and tell me the answer to this question - "Where did that very first life form come from - "natural selection" says all life came from the first life form, but where did that first life form come from. You
either have to believe that it came from nothing or it was created. There are no other options.
You are the ones with faith in something that is based on fables coming from a "human mind." We believe truth that come from an "infinite God." I know beyond all doubt that my faith doesn't depend on scientific discoveries one way or the other. God has revealed Himself to me in Christ, and my life is complete while you are continuing on in a futile quest to prove God doesn't exist while proving the unproveable.
I pity you. BY THE WAY, EVOLUTION CAN EASILY BE DISPROVEN TOTALLY SEPARATE FROM RELIGIOUS ARGUMENT. RELIGION HAS BEEN THE SCAPEGOAT FOR ALL OF YOU WHO REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRUTH OF AN INFINITE POWER BECAUSE IF YOU EVER OWN UP TO THAT YOU WILL ALSO HAVE TO OWN
UP TO YOUR SIN AND SEE YOUR NEED OF REPENTANCE AND SALVATION.

I think they're total fools. However...
...it goes past the point of ridicule when the religious influence in this country stifles real science, things like stem cell research which has the potential to save tons of lives and cure things we thought were incurable.

Great scientists like Johannes KEPLER saw God's magnificance and constantly gave praise to God Almighty for his wonderful laws built into nature. He was a creationist.
So was Isaac NEWTON.......and he wrote 1 million words about his LITERAL belief in the Scripture. He was a creationist.
" I have a fundamental belief in the Word of God....I study the Bible daily". - Isaac Newton
The electromagnetic equations of James Clerk Maxwell attest to the Magnificant mathematical inginuity of the Creator.
He was a Creationist.
Louis Pasteur...was a avid Christian and Fundamental Bible believer....
Thousands of other scientists freely admit it was their faith in God and Jesus Christ that led them to great discoveries...

They're trying to give their creed a level of respectability it doesn't deserve. Christians don't involve themselves in science anywhere outside of the US.
