Do most christians think scholars are evil?

Question

this was stated by a christian earlier

"m chrtistan we dont think scientist r evil we kno god made cures for a reason but the evolution theroy is wut we dont lyk
( I MEEN HOW IN DA HELL CAN WE COME FROM A MONKEY)"

this is what wikipedia says:
Apes are the members of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates, which includes humans. Under the current classification system there are two families of hominoids:

* the family Hylobatidae consists of 4 genera and 13 species of gibbons, including the Lar Gibbon and the Siamang, collectively known as the "lesser apes"
* the family Hominidae consisting of orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans,[1][2] collectively known as the "great apes".

A few other primates, such as the Barbary Ape, have the word "ape" in their common names, but they are not regarded as true apes by most authorities.

Except for gorillas and most humans, all true apes are agile climbers of trees.

They are best described as omnivorous, their diet consisting of fruit, grass seeds, and in most cases some quantities of meat and invertebrates—either hunted or scavenged—along with anything else available and easily digested. They are native to Africa and Asia, although humans have spread to all parts of the world.

Most ape species are rare or endangered. The chief threat to most of the endangered species is loss of tropical rainforest habitat, though some populations are further imperiled by hunting for bushmeat.

is wikipedia evil?

is the history channel a bad source?

Answer 1

That person's spelling is evil.

Answer 2

To answer your last two questions: Wikki is not evil although it is not always 100% accurate and should be checked with other sources. The History Channel does not always present facts or all the facts; an example of this are the programs "The Exodus Decoded" and "The Naked Archeologist". These programs can easily be shown to make more unproven assumptions than proven facts.

What boogles my mind is how some people think that some one with little or no knowledge in a feild can think that they can easily spot a "flaw" in a scientific theory. The whole concept of science is to detect previous errors or misconceptions as we gather new data and to review and replicate other's findings.

Answer 3

Nope, i'd love to be a scholar.
I know that the bible was dictated by God but in the end it was written by men. Men sin, men make mistakes, men lie, men are ignorant, men use metaphors, who knows what could have gone into the bible. Same with scholars, they also make mistakes. I mean, some things that were thought to be proven years ago have since been proven false. We can never truly know everything about our world, try as we might. But the pursuit of knowledge is exciting and i want to be a part of it.

I mean, i can't explain why but i believe in Adam and Eve and Neanderthals.

Answer 4

I agree with keltasia. No I do not think that scholars are evil. In fact, I would like to think of myself as one,atleast to some extent. However, I lean more toward creative evolution. That is I believe God created all but left an out. He knew we would mess up His perfect design and allowed for evolution to take place in order to make certain that species would be able to continue in spite of our best efforts to mess them up. I can see us as inescapably kin to apes, but I see us only as cousins and not direct links....after all, they are not evolving into people today. Or are they? Oh yeah, they might be....look at some of our politicians.

Answer 5

CCC 159 - Faith and science: "Though faith is above reason, there can never be any real discrepancy between faith and reason. Since the same God who reveals mysteries and infuses faith has bestowed the light of reason on the human mind, God cannot deny himself, nor can truth ever contradict truth." "Consequently, methodical research in all branches of knowledge, provided it is carried out in a truly scientific manner and does not override moral laws, can never conflict with the faith, because the things of the world and the things of faith derive from the same God. The humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led, as it were, by the hand of God in spite of himself, for it is God, the conserver of all things, who made them what they are."

Answer 6

"Just as a building is absolute proof there was a builder (no building ever built itself), creation is absolute proof there is a Creator. The Bible says that God made all things then caused every animal to bring forth "after its own kind" (dogs don't have kittens, fish don't turn into sheep, etc., no matter how long they are left). The Bible also says, 'Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery already with her in his heart,' and that no liar or thief will inherit the Kingdom of God, warning 'All liars will have their part in the lake of fire.' However, we are told how to be forgiven: 'God commended His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' Because of the death and resurrection of Jesus, all who repent and trust in Him receive the gift of everlasting life. Creationists maintain that the Bible proves its credibility because it is filled with scientific and medical facts written hundreds and even thousands of years before man discovered them, showing divine inspiration, and therefore confirming its warning of Hell and offer of Heaven." www.IntelligentDesignVersusEvolution.com

Answer 7

i find that often science supports the Bible. there are so many findings that validate events....Paul for instance, his prison where he was held after his first baptism, the ark, etc., so i think as time goes on there will be more and more findings to support the Bible. I don't personally have anything against science, part of it is guessing anyway. but it is a nice feeling when something is found by the scientists that does support the Bible...

Answer 8

No, most Christians do not distrust anything.

A "Christian" that distrusts science distrusts all truth, even God. A believer in Jesus name only, but doubting the truth of His Spirit.

Answer 9

A great way to avoid an argument you can't win is to call your opponent evil.

Answer 10

No, I certainly do not think that scholars are evil.
Why would I?
