Or any fundamentalist, for that matter. Absolute certainty, unmoved by evidence. They have accepted the holy book, but when overwhelming scientific evidence contradicts the book it is the evidence that must be thrown out, not the book.

angelpurplewing and gerafalop - so the bible is fact and evidence? A book of stories authored long ago, by unsophisticated people with zero scientific knowledge, then cabled together over time, edited, revised, translated through multiple languages by people with unreliable documentation, plagiarizing other stories along the way believed by people who are unwilling to even reconsider the book in the light of revelations and information and research of a modern world? If the bible said it will not rain on a certain date, but it does rain that day...you would believe the bible instead of the evidence? by the way....a theory is not a guess....it is a conclusion based on overwhelming evidence.....even gravity has never been "proven".

starfishltd - when a science book is shown to have an error, the book is changed to reflect the new information ...when's the last time the bible was changed to correct an error? the bible is static, science is growing

created2 - and the bible was written by uneducated (by modern standards), fallible, human beings, trying to explain what was for them unexplainable mystery. if all you know is in one ancient unreliable book, full of stories by people who understood very little about their world....then you know nothing...you among those who have failed to grow.

peace to all - the sum of evidence based, verifiable, peer reviewed knowledge....the kind God gave you the intellect to discover on your own.

alleninthehills - sma e answer in gave "peace to all"........plus, the bible is not the word of God..it is the limited wisdom of ancient people, ordinary human beings, displayed as illustrative stories not meant to be taken literally....it is we who over time have placed some divine connection to it. Those ancient people would be so disappointed to think that so many people today have not grown in their understanding of the world and themselves.

"scientific evidence....is fake and BS
it is all theory...not fact....it is fantasy.. "
o_0 I'm sorry, WHAT!!??!!
And what is THIS then...........................
"Father God speaks from heaven at baptism of Jesus: Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. The devil knew who Jesus......"
Look familiar????
EDIT: WOW..................
After seeing some of the responses, wow...just... holy sh*t...
Are you THAT brainwashed?? Do ANY of you think for yourselves?? I thought lemmings and sheep were bad........
"You will never find evidence that is provable to discredit God's word..."
the burden of proof is on YOU to prove it HAPPENED.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters."
You have a quaint little fairy tale, science has a theory with evidence.
allen?????????
""In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters."
Could you prove this please? that's your "challenge' for the day.

Yeah, just ask Galileo how open fundamentalists are to challenging the Bible. This nonsense has been going on for centuries.
I'm amazed that some fundies still aren't arguing that the earth is flat and at the center of the universe. I guess the equivalent of that today is continuing to believe that a spirit created humans by blowing on a pile of dirt. Some myths die hard.

You will never find evidence that is provable to discredit God's word, many have tried, all have failed, and you will be one as well. there is none, and there will be none, and if you every thank in your simple little mind, that you have some, email it to me, and I will show you just how flawed it is. anytime, anyplace, anything. consider it a challenge.

Robins,
There is no evidence to contradict the HOLY BOOK that you refer to. There are contradictions to the evolutionary evidence that you suggest though. Have a nice day. Read, study, and obey our FATHER'S WORD.
Thanks,

A real Christian would help the needy not the rich sounds like we need a REAL christian in power not a president that belongs to some secret society.

Just for the record, throughout the years when science has contradicted the Bible, after we grew in scientific knowledge, we found out that the Bible was true all along. Science is constantly changing. If science and the Bible are in conflict, I'll side with the Bible and wait for science to grow and learn the truth.

What exactly are you referring to?
Have you considered that Christians or members of any other faith, have evidence to support what they believe as well?

"Faith" is blind. Deaf and Dumb, too, if you read the "christian" answers!
