Ya know, little puzzles to solve, problems to figure out, acheivements to reach so we'll stay busy. Maybe science IS valid from a Christian standpoint after all. Perhapse it's Gods' way of keeping us occupied and encouraging us to use these brains he blessed us with. Yeah, I like that theory.

I think thats a bit of a trivialization of trying to attain knowledge. My point on this issue is that the two aren't mutually exclusive. Einstein believed strongly in God. They aren't opposites, they're two different expressions of the human experience. Knowledge and belief. Some pretty smart people throughout history have seemed to be able to carry both, so they can both exist in the same mind. But, I think that in cases where science has disproved certain ideas in a religion, those ideas should be seen as antiquated. As far as existence of God, or any of the big, underlying concepts within religion, they can coexist with science just fine.

Faith is belief that is not based on proof. There is no logical proof or material evidence required for faith. The simple fact that people are so blindly able to believe in something is a sad commentary on how ignorant our society can be. The most incredible cop out answer always used by the faithful is, "God works in mysterious ways." Simply put, they can't prove or explain anything. They will, however attempt to explain things using the bible, which of course, provides no proof or evidence that what is contained, is the truth. It's strange to me how a book which supposedly denounces lying, cheating and stealing lacks any kind of evidence that the book itself is true.

Science was given to prove and reprove the things of God.
Yet most attempt to use it to prove man does not need God, believing the very lie that brought the fall of all mankind. To believe he can be like God, be a god.
Yet, this truth is science and science is truth. Unfortunately, you have those who corrupt science in the attempt to steal the souls of men. They come up with untruths such as evolution, the world has been here for billions of years, and so on and so forth, just to confuse the hearts of men and move then from the truth of God's Word.

Ummm ... Maybe ... lol
Our earth, if not unique--in its special place, time, and composition optimize our ability to explore the far reaches of the universe as well as the intricate detail in our own backyard. For example our atmosphere. Complex life requires a certain type of atmosphere.It turns that this same type of atmosphere provides a remarkably clear view of the near and distant universe. In short, our habitable world is remarkable, and its very habitability makes it possible for us to explore just how remarkable it is!

I'm a Christian. No, I don't believe that. I believe in the process and principles of scientific thought. But I do not believe in science apart from God.

Ummmmm... No. God put Adam and Eve on the earth and told them not to eat the fruit on God's tree. The fruit gave them knowledge. And God got angry and made them leave the Gerden Of Eden. He didn't want them to do science. And I'm using Adam and Eve because your using God, so you can't tell me to not use Creation in this discussion.

There is so much in this world that we do not understand. I am not personally into science, but there are people that are blessed in knowledge and wisdom in different subjects. I think it makes the work much more interesting learning new and different ideas. I think He enjoys it when we use our brain. He wants us to think for ourselves and go to Him with our questions.

Absolutely!
God made us intelligent, and He made us curious!
He wants us to discover and explore the world and universe He made and He wants us to learn how to rule over it intelligently and responsibly.
God (or the faith in God) and science were not meant to be opposing ideals; in fact the two can and should co-exist.

Sentience is a gift - out of that gift, science was born
