Hehe.. Todd, I obviously wasn't thinking of you when I asked this question. Forgive me! I know you are the last person that would be intimidated by an atheist. Can you imagine ME trying to intimidate you with my knowledge? Haha.. you know worlds more than I do. And so everyone is clear.. I wasn't including me in the "know more about science" category, lol.

Not Christian.
But atheists do make me WANT to know more about science.

That's a bit of a generalization. I met one guy on here with a dual major in genetics and microbiology who was very informed, and clearly knew what he was talking about--but I'm not a slouch in the sciences--though granted my strengths are in engineering and theology (odd mix sometimes that's just how it works out).
Why should anyone be intimidated from knowledge--that is unbelievable to me. Is your conception that Christians are out in the woods picking up snakes, hoping that the elephants don't kneel down causing the earth to spiral into the abyss. Unbelievable.
I'm also not intimidated when atheists attempt to use a poor grasp of theology and logic to point out their alleged "contradictions" (again some of them post reasonable objections--so I don't want to generalize on my own part here).
So, short answer--nope.

i'm a Christian and luxuriate in reading philosophy and theology customarily, I evaluate those works of technology or a minimum of non-fiction, some could argue this factor. I somewhat have study Darwin's foundation of species to extra advantageous talk over with those that a approach or the different evaluate it to be an efficient condemnation of the Bible (yet got here across it rather uninteresting stuff) I hardly study fiction as i'm this sort of individual who consistently thinks "what nonsense, what complete nonsense...." whilst reading it.

Uh...no.
And what's more, I believe it is rarely anoone's intention to "intimidate" by seeming to know a lot about a subject.
Usually, the desire or need to share about one's own knowledge or experiences comes from a need to be understaood, or a need to feel significant.
Based on that perspective, I usually am quite sympathetic to anyone who seems quite knowledgeable on any one subject. I am also very interested in gaining an understanding of them as an individual, which is beneficial to us developing a good interaction.
On a side note, the search for God is a strong foundation for the early formation of science, so aetheists aren't always best-suited as scientists, historically speaking.

What ever would make you think that? I am a professional, well read, know the scientific facts. None of that compromises my spiritual philosophies. I think the exact manner of many things has been portrayed by men who wished to simplify so the many could understand. Sort of like per Sunday school. all of those things written have basis in truth
And yes, God created the heaven and the earth!! All of it!!

Let's all thank Jackson Kane for that wonderful example of christian "knowledge".
To refer to Science as "hearsay" is not only utterly ignorant but profoundly stupid. Look up 'hearsay' in the dictionary buddy, then come back and apologize for being an idiot.

In all fairness, Christians do seem to know a great deal more about banana, crocoduck and peanut butter science than we atheists do...

No, because I am a scientist. I have a double major in Biology and Chemistry.
Has it ever occurred to anyone that Christians can be scientists too? That many Christian are legitimate scientists, not those idiots who use pseudo science but real scientists who use and have a great deal of respect for the scientific method?
The assumption that Faith in God and a love of learning through Science are mutually exclusive is offensively condescending and arrogant. It is also very unscientific and usually involves circular logic.

Nope.
Science has yet to prove, or disprove the existence of God with irrefutable proof - so why should I worry?
