We do it all the time.
You do understand, don't you, virtually ALL the Ivy League schools and most of the top Private Universities in America are Christian based and often Christian run.
Duke and USC are Methodist
Harvard is religious and they are on the fore-front of creating artifical cellular life with no restrictions, no opposition from the Board.
Very few private Universities are secular.
They simply can't afford it. Not enough Atheists and Agnostics to finance a Yale.
It takes a lot of money and the Vatacan plowed a lot of money into Notre Dame to help get it started.
The Palientologist (that's a Dinosaur Scientist) who postulated the some Dinos were warm blooded is a Baptist Preacher with a PH D in Palientology.
Once more we see how little Atheists know about the world in which we live and how just love to spout at the mouth without doing the research.
It's we religious that take the time to do the research.

I don't read the WatchTower, and I have been educated in science. I have been in Biology 1 and 2, Physiology, Chemistry, and Algebra 1 and Geometry. I passed all those courses, with higher than a C, and typically with a 'B'.
Why are you assuming that Atheism is scientific? What is scientific of resolving an issue without proof? When is it scientifically involved to state that anything is true without proof, or even evidence regarding to the affirmative?
My guess is that you cannot think that far, and you are the typical Atheist who has taken the leap of faith to resolve the issue because you cannot 'feel' the evidence of God. Since you don't have proof you deny the whole thing! That's just a guess, along with the guess that you don't have enough science under you belt to figure out why you would consider wasting your time on this forum!
But establishing your ignorance by coming here, you come in pride of 'putting one over' on all the 'religious ones'. When you by doing so establish your own religious like behavior. You think that you are right without any scientific evidence! That's FAITH! lol
You are trusting in your own reasoning, which has no scientific data, and are preaching what you've espoused as being truth!
You are such a hypocrite! ROTFLMAO!

I have opened science books -true, operational science books. Everything I've read and learnt from operational science supports the teachings of the Bible. The Bible touches on numerous different subjects, including science. The Bible has been proved to be accurate in every subject with which it deals, including science
Most of the early scientists were Bible believing Christians, not foolish evolutionists. The founders of our known sciences believed in special creation and the Genesis Flood. It is those same sciences which clearly support the Bible and deny evolution.
True science always has and always will support the teachings of the Bible. Evolution contradicts known laws of science. This is what I've learnt from years of studying the Bible and science books.

Not everyone who will read the Bible will understand it.
Romans 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Psalms 135:15-17 The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there [any] breath in their mouths.
Jeremiah 5:21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
Romans 11:7-8 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
Jeremiah 29:17-19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending [them]; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.

Some religious people go to college and read the same books any college student would be required to read, So I know I the religious do crack open science books. Beware; the soap box for which they stand on may be a stack of books.

I do. What end did it bring about you ask? no longer something. I merely study for interest. Now i understand what all and sundry else is thinking...your an atheist superb? why in the international are you examining a bible?! those all and sundry is too narrow minded for their very own solid. So what if i'm an atheist? it would not recommend that I ought to enforce unto others that "there is no God", "what you suspect in is a lie","atheists shouldn't study bibles or korans or something on the subject remember of their very own faith because of the fact we are atheists"....those form of issues... Being an atheist easily provides me freedom to be extra open of the opportunities,,,,like how everthing is made, what's sweet and incorrect (relies upon on the beholder i could upload) and merely....despite... as properly, there is no longer something incorrect with examining a bible despite while you're an atheist. except you suspect which you're able to get "burned" for examining "any such holy piece of literary artwork once you're a non-believer"....LOL!...yeah superb... properly, for my area besides.....hehe..

I'm a Christian scientist.
I have read Richard Dawkins' 'Climbing Mount Improbable' and 'The Blind Watchmaker' and 'The Selfish Gene'. I have read 'The Origin of Species' and a lot of biology text books. I'm halfway through a degree in biosicences and I believe in God.
Don't generalise.
To me evolution is the most logical explanation we have for biodiversity, but I try not to fall into the trap of thinking that I understand everything. It doesn't explain everything and its negative influence was clearly shown when Hitler used eugenics to justify the Holocaust.
It's also worth remembering that many of the most important scientists in human history were Christians and did what they did in an attempt to understand God better. Perfect examples of this are Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton.

I do... but it takes real understanding to read the bible. In corinthians it states right there that non believers will not believe and understand the bible like a believer does.. if you know you are not going to believe and you know that the bible is going to say yes there is a god, then why to you read the bible and furthermore why are you in a spiritual and religious Q/A? it doesn't make any sence to me. I origionally came here to help with bible questions, not battle athiests. some of my good friends are athiests and I do not plan on fighting it.
