It feels threatened by the truth.

Why do you say this? I'm a Christian, i
study/teach from the manuscripts. I was brought up by parents who taught me how precious and rare common sense is, so i endeavor to always use it in my daily life.
As far as the Sciences go, can you think of anything more facinating? They just found a 26 million year old skull!! I know there is a group called "creationists" running around saying that the Bible states the earth is only 6000 years old - well, they are Biblically illiterate to the max.
The Bible states no such thing; in fact, it says there was an entire earth age before this one, and that this earth is eons and eons in age.
The dedicated scientists of the world should be celebrated in their findings, not insulted. I am the first one to yell "WOW!"
when they find something new.
I wish i had the power to shut the mouths of people who are unlearned, but oh well -
anytime you hear someone saying the Bible states the earth is only about 6000 years old, then you will know THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. THEY ARE NOT A GOOD SOURCE FOR TRUTH.
My 7yr old realizes that fossils older than that exist. People do not understand what they read in their Bible. The worse thing is that THE CHURCHES DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE. Geez, if you can imagine such a thing. its true. Biblical illiteracy at its finest.

Christians are not hostile to either one especially common sense.
We are not even hostile to your junk science we just don't believe it. Evolution, big bang, etc. are unprovable hypothisis only. That does not make us hostile.
Why do you feel the need to be hostile toward Christianity? Your question by the way tends to direct people with common sense toward beleiving you are. Therefore it would be my hypothisis that you are. However till I actually meet you and talk to you its still just a guess isn't it.

Christianity has nothing whatsoever against science.
Some Christians might, but Christianity does not.
Why is it that science thinks it must prove that God does not exist?
Obviously, while some scientists may feel this need, science does not.
Some Christians, as well as some scientists, could use a huge dose of common sense.

Oh, on the contrary my friend! Christianity embraces science as the creation with which God displays His sovereignty. Common sense is an attribute that can be attributed to God as a means of bringing people to a full understanding of Himself. Same holds true with logic and reason.

LOL. Christianity believes everything God did was through Science.
Now when it comes to Common Sense...
Who sets the Standards? You?
What is common sense? Is common sense not believing in God, even though 80% of Americans...INCLUDING Scientist's Do? Are you smarter then everyone else in this entire world? Even those Scientist's.
Did you ever stop too think that there could be more too life then what only YOU see, That there are Billions of people who claim to have seen Miracles and God?
Or is it that you are like EVERYONE else in this ENTIRE world, Who thinks that only what YOU believe is correct and "common sense"

The Catholic Church is actually quite open to modern science (as long as it does not involve murdering innocent unborn babies), but actually Galileo, Mendel, the founder of the Human Genome project, Pasteur were all relatively devout Christians (amazing that Galileo stayed a devout Christian) Christianity was skeptical, but mind you everyone at the time of Galileo was skeptical his concept seemed odd-ball.

Science and religion can work together for the good of humanity. Albert Einstein, in his book, 'Out of My Later Years', said, "Science without religion is lame, religion without Science is blind."
Belief in God, who is Wisdom, cannot contradict the discovery of wisdom in the findings of Science. Therefore, it would be irrational for religionists to ignore scientific discoveries. Scientific pursuits are one way of coming to a full knowledge of God. Albert Einstein and proponents of the Big Bang theory chose this path and found God.
Your second question is a matter of opinion. It will be different from person to person.
Peace and every blessing!

Science is trying to disprove the existence of God. My common sense tells me there is a God.

The religion/knowledge system is not the same as the adherents of that system. The situation to which you refer is like a polluted ocean. Is the ocean, which represents the religion/knowledge system, the problem, or is the problem those who pollute it?
