Let's leave Christians aside for a while.There is no inherent conflict between religion and science as both explore to find answers to the mysteries of world and life bearing forms like humans.Their approaches and assumptions may be different but the wider aim is same.Humans in their short sighted vision have created a rift between the two and remain engaged in an endless fight,which has no rationale or even necessity. By the way,some of the top scientists were Christians and how come they didn't feel or see the conflict between the two ?Secondly,their domains are different ie science deals with physicality of the universe where as a religion deals with the spirituality aspects of the Cosmo (wider universe)and humans(all living things included).For a proper balance,both compliment each other.With such a premise,we can then accept the points of difference between the two as and when we come across them and work further to explore more.

Who determined that Christians hate science? Some of the greatest minds in the history of man including DaVinci and Newton were devout christians.
One of the problems of our society today is stereotyping. Left wingers want to view Christians as ignorant and uneducated and while some Christians may be that I'm sure that there are equal amounts of left wingers who are that and more.
My beliefs are based on faith and a relationship with God and although I've seen various theories and events over the years pop up and attempt to challenge my faith they have never worked.
Jesus said that the truth will set us free. Why would any Christian shun science or truth?

Group 83, that was very well put. Most Christians don't hate science, and there are many scientists that are Christians. For me, as science reveals the complexity of living systems and the natural world, my beliefs are strengthened. The idea that all of the intricacies of the universe are just random occurrences is naive. Science and religion are not enemies, and thinking this is the case shows a lack of understanding as to the functions of each.

Some religionists hate science because it challenges their doctrine. This is why they used to kill or imprison scientists like Galileo.
Christianity learned to liberalize itself as a survival tactic. Now it goes along with science to some degrees, it balks at first, and then it catches up. The Universe Officially No Longer Revolves Around The Earth. And Christians accept it.
That's progress.

I'm a Christian of the Roman Catholic variety, and I can tell you that our Church regards science to be a very wonderful thing.
True, science can be misused for horrible ends, and often has been -- horrible weapons, abortion, and so on.
But when properly used, science has been of great benefit to humanity -- and the Church is very cool with that. That's why the Catholic Church has been a prime benefactor and supporter of learning and science over the years.
In fact, during the Renaissance and for centuries after, the Catholic Church ran most of the universities and centers of learning in the Western world.
Thus, you can say that without the Church, there would be no science.

I'm a Christian and I love science.
I believe if you have an open mind, you can find similarities between what the bible says and scientific fact. Keep in mind there was not a lot of technology back in those days- people wrote what they believed to be the case without knowing any of the science behind it.

I acutally LOVE science because it makes me MARVEL at how awesome God's creations really are. I love National Geographic magazine and the tv channel. I watch the science and history channels as well. I am a Christian and everytime I look at a bird or any part of nature I praise God for His infinite genius and beauty.

The only part of science that conflicts with my faith are those that are not real science. Such as the evolution. A science that has no real evidence that it occurs. Not in all natural history can it be shown to have happened. Never has one species ever become a new species. Not one example can be shown. Other than that Science is shown in the power of God.

I don't hate science. Thanks for asking.
By the way, science cannot comment on the supernatural. It can't prove there is a God, nor can it prove there is NOT a God.
Science has only disproven a literalist view of the creation account in Genesis, nothing else.
