How come christians never thank me for detailed scientific answers to science questions they post in R&S?

Question

Asked differently, because so many of you misunderstood my original question.

Answer 1

The type of Christians asking science questions in the R&S category don't really want to hear scientific answers...that's probably why you never get any thanks.

Answer 2

There's really no point in looking for thanks, credit, or acceptance from someone that isn't listening to you because they don't like your beliefs. That, and expecting someone who feels strongly about something to thank you for shredding their arguments and making them look uneducated in front of the internet is a bit silly; the portion of us (myself included) that actually look forward to that kind of thing as a way of making their arguments better and helping them see where they're wrong, is a very small minority. Usually, people feel like the time, energy, and research they put into their question or persuasive argument was "wasted" somehow, when random guy x comes along and effortlessly lays waste to everything they spent the afternoon on just seconds after they posted it.

I personally don't see why thanks, credit, and approval are important to begin with. However, since you seem to, I'd reccomend changing your approach. Instead of going out there and making someone feel like a complete dumbass, just explain a couple things, in everyday english that anyone can understand, and link to the details online, so that people can learn more on their own and at their own pace. And make them feel like you are on their side; they're asking questions, and you should be trying to provide them with helpful answers, not making them feel like they're nine inches tall.

Answer 3

In general, people who ask science questions here do not want detailed scientific answers to their questions. If they really wanted to know something about science, they wouldn't waste time on Y/A R&S. They would go to the library and study.

Answer 4

The religion of christianity is based on faith. I believe that if there is a science that "supposedly" proves something in Christianity to be faulty, then the science is flawed because it is bound by mans flawed mind.

But THANK YOU for the scientific insight anyway.

Answer 5

Ohh there is information that God exists. have you ever appeared on the sky right this moment? have you ever went to the park and watched the timber improve? have you ever heard the birds chirp?How did you awaken this morning? do you particularly think of we come from monkeys? How do clarify mysterious happenings? Is each and every thing continuously a accident? Its all approximately faith my buddy. Christians do no longer bypass off of what might nicely be shown. you may not instruct something scientifically if He exists or no longer He in simple terms is.

Answer 6

I'd imagine that many people who post a question already know what types of answers they are going to accept and what they will reject. I wonder how many people actually learn or grown from participating in this experiment. I have learned some interesting things from reading other people's answers.

Answer 7

Amen.
HaHa.
Miracle believers are blind to science, as a nurse who works hard to help a person and sees God thanked over science all the time!

Answer 8

Ask them if they want: 1-the truth or
2-a justification for what they believe in.

They will say that they are both the same thing. That's when you will understand why scientific explanations are irrelevant to them.

Answer 9

*
Because they seemingly cannot accept that their religion is just a theory, an intangible concept.
Having theories and developing tacit knowledge is not a bad thing but refusing to acknowledge them as such is not useful. A theory is what it is (a theory) but if you dispute or argue someone's beloved and well laboured theories then you will usually get either an: ongoing debate, no response, or a direct thumbs down/written retort.

Answer 10

On a related note, how come no atheist every thanks me for all my detailed, well researched answers to their religious questions? I just get the multiple thumbs down when I show that their attempt to find a "contradiction" in the bible or Christian Theology actually has been rebutted by some philosopher hundreds of years ago. Go figure.

Answer 11

Maybe they aren't really expecting an answer. Possibly they ask a question and hope that you'll put some deep thought into it and conform to their beliefs.
