persecution

[thendisnigh]

i feel that as a christian i am persecutedfor my beliefs. why cant schools change science to allow my beliefs to be enjoyed by everybody

What do you mean by this? What's wrong with the science they teach--science isn't "allowed" to comment on God, only to find the most logical explanation. If a teacher is trying to disprove the existence of God in science class, he's doing s something wrong.

One reason is scientist dont want to admit that they are wrong.And since god isnt allowed in schools anymore its just not mintioned.Then you have secular huminists and atheists,that will deny anything god related.Then you have organizations like Unicef and planned parent hood,teaching that being gay is ok and having abortions is ok then giving out condems.So basicly the school system in general is corrupt.And these people and organizations are the minority but we as christians have done nothing to change anything.If we as belivers stood togather with one voice we could make a change,but untill then all we will get is garbage.

Very true. It is very sad what public school encourages, and how it corrupts so many! 20 Compelling Evidences That God Exists, is a great book I read recently, which discusses many different scientific (and other) reasons why God exists. You might want to check it out.... It is written by Kenneth D. Boa and Robert M. Bowman Jr. Here are a couple quotes from scientists/intellectuals I found interesting (from the book I mentioned)...

"The more I examine the universe and the details of its architecture, the more evidence I find that the universe in some sense must have known we were coming." Freeman Dyson

"The odds against a universe like ours emerging out of something like the big bang are enormous...I think clearly there are religous implications whenever you start to discuss the origins of the universe." Stephen W. Hawking

My job is science related and quite simply the reason why they can't change science to incorporate religion is because science is science and religion is religion! I don't know about schools where you are but in England school teach Religious Education as well as science. It's a separate lesson but it explores many religions so that the pupils gain an understanding of the beliefs that people they meet in the future may have.

Albert Einstein once said "Science without religion is lame; Religion without science is blind". That quote speaks to me. I truely believe that people can have room for both and should try to have room for both.

"a little science estranges men from God, but more science brings them back to Him."

I have faith that sciecne and christianity is coherent. Science's just a way human looks at the world created. There will always be things that would take more time for us to understand.

Surprised and pleased that Stephen Hawking believes that there was a religious reason for the Earth's existence. I thought his theory went against creationism.

Is he is a Christian, or simply somebody who believes that the earth probably had a creator?

Thanks, Steve

 

[Servant991]

I'm pretty sure he is not a christian, but as you said, perhaps he realized the earth does in fact have a creator.

We definately dont need to study science in order to follow Christ though. Hebrews talks about faith is the substance of things hoped for, not seen. I guess that means we are pretty blind, we have faith in a God who we cannot physically see, but just that the evidence points towards it and the miracle in our own lives tells us that He exists. Of course I believe science is a wonderful way of studying God's creation and understanding so much more about a wonderful God we have
