Christians have learned to ignore me and by doing so ignore the fallacies, the scientific misconceptions and the poor morality shown in the Bible. Keep on Sheepin'

None of these questions has anything to do with you getting any science degree. Any student of mine would fail for having such a narrow perception. Science requires a person to be open minded and ready to accept any variable. You obviously do not have that ability.

(A) Keep it simple " Garden" if you plant a garden would it be the first or last garden on earth? Remember there were others around for Cain found his wife from another tribe!
(B) Scientist would have no reason to lie about "Big Bang" theories however in truth they have no real way of proving their theories as I have of converting an atheist to my beliefs.
(C) As with all things, even in science, the created man causes evolution making new things such as adding to the elemental table - there are several man made elements and may be more as time goes by!
(D) A religious question, in the form of Christian or Jewish religious belief, hence let us use King James Version and quote Jesus Christ: If you deny me I shall deny you to my father. This being said the atheist denied Jesus all their lives and asked others to do so while the criminal never denied him and asked his forgiveness in the end thus dieing a christian.
Looking forward to more questions - May Jehovah bless you and I am a Christian!

What do any of these questions (or this one, in fact) have to do with you getting a Bachelor of Science degree? Is this part of some class to see the kinds of sociologic or psychologic answers you receive? Are these questions distracting you from your studies? Or are you just trying to make yourself sound educated?
By the way, the fact that you are saying a "Bachelor of Science" and are asking very science-based questions leads me to believe you don't even know what a Bachelor of Science degree is. A Bachelor of Science degree doesn't have to have anything to do with science, in fact, I can get one for history, anthropology, marketing, art, and special education. It's not limited to just science because it defines a specific type of curriculum the student must follow to receive the degree, not what they are majoring in, learning about, or plan on having a career in.

probably because most of us have learned to ignore you.
perhaps it is because you are asking questions that are more rhetorical than anything.
the second one is simply perspective. trying to trace the evolution of man back to the bacteria is not helping us at all. understanding is only necessary when an actual asset to mankind. molecular biology, fine. go through homosapien sapien dna and find a cure for genetic diseases. beneficial. but trying to figure out impossibly complex genetic maps and the link between us and the stuff that makes us rot does me no good!

Your questions are difficult to answer because they make irrational assumptions about Christianity. You ask questions that presuppose beliefs that are rejected by the majority of Christians. It's like asking Buddhists why they don't eat pork, and then complaining because they can't answer your questions. Honestly, if you are working on your BS degree, I'm surprised that you still have such a narrow and uninformed understanding of popular Christian doctrine.

I would recommend that you read The Brother's Karamozof by Dostoyevsky to understand why Christians don't answer your questions. I am not kidding. He explains that the Church didn't want to have people thinking and developed a culture of obeying the church leadership without questioning.....and perhaps it it still premeates the culture.

A central concept in Christianity is faith. It is claimed that faith is a good thing.
Faith is accepting as true a proposition which has no evidence to support it.
If you agree to accept something as true because you think it is supported by evidence, then sorry guys, that is not faith at all. To do faith you must be prepared to accept it as true even when the evidence contradicts it.
An example is creationism. To deny the great age of the Earth and to deny the affinity of humanity with animal species you just have to deny the evidence. If you think you can scrape up evidence to support your literal interpretation of Genesis, you may label your theory "creation science" or "intelligent design" or whatever. But if you are looking to evidence at all, then you are not exercising faith.
Real faith involves a leap - "the leap of faith," disregarding or denying evidence, like Tertullian who said "Credo quia impossibile est." He had actual faith, choosing to believe what he admits is absurd.
So to be a Christian commits you, as a person of faith, to accept stuff that is outside reality. Therefore, it's not reasonable to ask a Christian to answer questions about reality.
If he is true to his Christian commitment, he must adhere to faith, and that requires him to accept stuff that is not based on fact. In other words, to lie to himself. A true devout Christian will not be able to answer questions, but only at most to repeat back to you the predigested responses he has been taught by the authority he accepts - the Holy Church if he is Roman, Orthodox or Anglican Catholic, or the words of a fundie pastor who may undertstand the surface words of the Bible while content to remain ignorant of their deeper meaning and historical context.
So don't blame the Christians when you don't get proper answers. Deal with the fact that their faith inevitably shuts them out from seeing reality. Better just let them be.

I can't give you a pat answer to your question because it's a soul searching answer.
It's like the guy that climbs to the top of the mountain to find a single answer that will give him enlightenment.
You need to be a Christian and read the bible and study it, and ask God to help you understand.
Jesus said that if you Knock the door will be opened.

SILLY...... RABBIT.... TRICKS... ARE... FOR... "kids!"
Real Christians like myself and others.... Know that YOU...ARE WILLINGLY.... IGNORANT !
GOD... has told YOU.... " To Repent.... Acts 17:30-31 "... And.... YOU Refused....!
Also GOD... has revealed Himself... and YOU .... Refused....!
(Romans 1:18-to-25) For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
(Rom 1:19) because the thing which may be known of God is clearly revealed within them, for God revealed it to them.
(Rom 1:20) For the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being realized by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, for them to be without excuse.
(Rom 1:21) Because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were thankful. But they became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
(Rom 1:22) Professing to be wise, they became fools
(Rom 1:23) and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.
(Rom 1:24) Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves.
(Rom 1:25) For they changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
The Supposed..... " God Bless!" ..... That YOU posted... is not Asking GOD.... for His Blessing.... But A Mocking of GOD!
ONE final thing.... Psalms 14:1 The Fool has said... NO GOD!
Or perhaps YOU.... forgot about.... " The Scientific Flat Earth Theory of the 1400's ?
SILLY...... RABBIT.... TRICKS... ARE... FOR... "kids!"
Thanks, RR

There I answered them. But you know, I hope you use science for a good purpose, for medicines and such.... not as a tool to mock religion.
