Researchers Probe Stereotype: Christians And Science Don't Get Along.
quote:
This research looks at a majority group - American Christians - and it looks at a stereotype about American Christians - that Christians and science don't get along. We often see headlines in the news that say creationism and evolution are in conflict. And many people have a stereotype that there's something about Christianity and science that don't mix. I was speaking with Kimberly Rios at Ohio University, and she told me that she noticed something on a recent trip to Morocco. When she talked to people there about religion and science, she found that Moroccans had a very different concept than the one in the United States when it came to Christianity and science.

Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. —RC Sproul

Re: Real Christians study and search out truths
So you are claiming no possible middle ground? It seems to me that your website has more of your own beliefs than it does beliefs supported by the Bible.
I think that you Christians need to get out of attempting to change science and scientific thinking. Often, Christians make the mistake that suggests that since God or Jesus possesses ultimate creativity and wisdom than it follows that they themselves possess such wisdom and are called to share it.
Our very own Faith is one such example. We allow her to openly express her views because
1) She does no spamming or advertising of any websites she may prefer.
2) She has gotten better at expressing and defending her views in real time! Right here right now! If you care about staying here, you would be wise to attempt to defend your beliefs in your own words. Scriptural references would also be helpful. While I respect your ongoing commitment to repping Jesus I have no respect for you carrying on like a kid at a playground calling evolutionists stupid and ill informed. As of now, you are in the principal's office.
Pray that one day when you meet Jesus in the sky or in Heaven that He gives you a break as well for being a rebel---willfully apart from any church---who feeds his own ego by attempting to mock organized science and having not guts to answer any questions, defend what you believe, or perhaps even respectfully listening to your opponents occasionally. In my estimation, your missionary work here has produced 0 converts thus far. As for the study, any of us here can (and some do) pick up a Bible. What we won't do is be impressed with your website.
The reason is that you yourself have no credibility with us. Humble yourself, David. Quit acting proud as if you have Gods anointing that no one else can see.
Real Christians on the other hand study and search like Jesus said to do, and don't get deceived within science nor in the deceptions of nations and their deceptive leaders, nor by the devoid and materialistic churches and church leaders...
Then teach us the Bible. Don't attempt to "teach" us your theories on why science is whack. You won't get very far.
Again....teach us the Bibles views and what it says.
