CHRISTIANS: Which is the most outrageous lie perpetrated by atheistic scientists?

Question

The Theory of Gravity which explains how objects with mass are attracted to eachother.
OR
Germ Theory which explains how microorganisms cause disease?

Answer 1

The one that says the earth is round and orbits the sun! I mean, how crazy is that? Stupid scientists... everyone knows that the EARTH is the center of the universe. Scientists are obviously in league with the devil.

Answer 2

It appears that some atheists think that science disproves or debunks religion, and for them, science becomes a religion substitute, as it were. At least some atheists can be just as dogmatic and stubborn about their assertions concerning religion and human nature as any hard headed religious person, but being stubborn, they cannot see that.

Science and religion are really two different spheres; science investigates the creation, while religion ponders the creator. In most Western religions, at least, God and the material universe are two different things, so the study of one does not imply anything directly about the study of the other.

Many Christian scientists and philosophers have noted that it is impossible to have had any kind of science without an implicit assumption that the universe COULD be understood. We forget how big a leap of logic that was. Why should nature follow mathematical laws? We assumed that nature was designed by a rational mind that just so happened to think similar to the way that we do, so we assumed that nature COULD be understood by mere mortals and went to work on discovering nature's laws. Those who say that Greek rationalism alone gave rise to modern science ignore the obvious historical fact that it did not. Hero developed the first steam engine, but it did not give rise to an ancient industrial revolution, for example. Modern science and technology developed in the West only after Christian and Classical Greek though mingled in the Renaissance. People who claim that science could exist apart from the Christian world view, or that Christianity is harmful to science, must explain the fact that modern science and technology emerged in the Christian west first, not somewhere else in the world (even though we borrowed bits and pieces pf knowledge from other places, Europeans put it all together).

Answer 3

There are a few Christians who totally disregard all scientific knowledge, yet they ride in aircraft, turn on the electric lights, use the microwave, etc-- all things resulting from our scientific knowledge. Do not put all Christians in the same box. I am an engineer and a Christian. When the psalms were being written,the Israelites thought that earthquakes were caused by the waves pounding on the seashore. Science is knowledge discovered by man through observation and measurement. What has this got to do with the bible? Nothing.

Answer 4

I've been researching gravity for decades. We don't HAVE a viable Theory of Gravity. If we did, we could build working flying saucers.

The REAL outrageous lies are told by laymen who have NO IDEA what a Theory IS.

Answer 5

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but your information is a little bit dated. The 'Theory of Gravity' has been replaced by the 'Theory of Intelligent Earth-Suck'.

Answer 6

The so called 9/11 conspiracy. It's amazing how "educated" people can beleive this propanada, because they see a slick video on u-tube.

Answer 7

That's easy. It's germ theory. Any good Christian knows that disease is the work of the devil and you only get sick because you've been in league with it.

I've actually gotten a form of this answer from a couple of my high school biology students before. Sad, isn't it...

Answer 8

The idea that all scientists are atheists, or that science and religion are incompatible.

If one looks down the list of famous scientists over the centuries, I don't see too many atheists on there.

Answer 9

How about: the world is flat?
How about: Leeches and Bloodletting are healers?
How About: Helicopters can`t fly?
I could go on and ooooooon.....
Need more?

Answer 10

Neither. These are part of the created order. The biggest lie is that everything can be measured, based on the presupposition that all that exists is material and there is nothing else. Measure me hope. Measure me mercy. Measure me justice. Measure me love.
