Well, any answers that a 5 year old couldn't also give.

You expect answers from people who have to go to regular bible study to have the big words read to them? That's asking a lot.

I'm not sure this is fair. Most average individuals in our society would have a hard time giving an adequate answer to lots of questions about science, religion, history, etc. That's the whole point of the show "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?", after all! If you want serious answers, you should read a book (I'm not referring to the Bible here, but to serious scholarly books about the Bible, the history of Christianity, theology, science, archaeology, or whatever you happen to want to know about).
The answer to your question is that most Christians have strong opinions, but not because they know what they are talking about. Most Christians understand the Bible, science, and other subjects extremely superficially. It is more reprehensible in the case of Christians just because so many of us speak as though they know more than they do.

Perhaps it is because some of your questions are rude and the only point to them is to try and insult Christians?
Just a thought
Like your last question about Esau's hairy palms...is that a REAL question? is someone supposed to have an answer? Or are you a troll?
Before answering this did anyone else look at the questions asked? or do you just assume this person asked good questions and Christians couldn't really answer them?

Without setting myself up as a Christian apologist, what questions do you have in mind?
Was your question an attempt to make a statement of some kind, or are you searching for legitimate answers?

maybe because the questions we are most often asked are AT the level of a 5 year old, and we don't want the people asking them to get confused trying to understand the answer

If a 5 year old would stop asking the questions...you might possibly get some straight answers. You are sad.

Some people may get mad at me but here goes. It is not just Christians, but when they cannot truly answer questions it is because they have not proved what it is they BELIEVE.

because anything more complicated (that actually makes sense and or has evidence) would go against everything else they've said and stand for. once you start giving these answers that don't seem realistic you have to keep going with it. nice question though lol.

Well...maybe if you asked questions not geared to 5 year olds,you'd get adult answers.

Christians say the same thing about us....Atheists.
We don't give each other the answer some of us are looking for....or will accept.
