the reason scientists like to discredit christianity is because of genesis. there is absolutely no way that the earth can be 6000 years old. young earth creationists are waging a war on reason, and scientists are waging a war on ignorance.I have studied evolution in classes. I have taken physics and biology. I appreciate the wonder of the human body and the way God reveals Himself through science. I do not like the way the scientific community discredits any Christian perspective. Our beliefs to them are like fluffy fairytales. Why don't they go study theology and find the evidence displayed in God's word? God has left His handprint in everything so that man is without excuse.
All that's left is the big sign that says: "I made this, God," with an out of world DNA to prove it. Still, they'll find some way to deny it.
I don't think there are actually many scientists interested in discrediting Christianity... indeed, many scientists ARE Christians... there is no inherent conflict between Christianity and a scientific understanding of the universe... the only time ione runs into difficulty is if one insists on a simplisitc literalist understanding of the Biblethe reason scientists like to discredit christianity is because of genesis. there is absolutely no way that the earth can be 6000 years old. young earth creationists are waging a war on reason, and scientists are waging a war on ignorance.
fellow evolutionists, lets make the 21st century the century to eradicate ignorance

This is the beginning, middle and end of why you reject evolutionary theory and cling to young earth creationism (even if you're not capable of admitting it) despite the intellectual dishonesty that you have to commit yourself to.I do not like classifying man as an animal

You don't like it.
*points to faith icon* I'm Catholic. God and I are on pretty good terms.And why do you reject the notion of God? I'm very sure it is the same reason.
I'm sure God has done many great things for you. That doesn't mean you get to reject established fact out of hand, just because you don't like it.See, you might view my perception as skewed when I tell you my faith is fact. You do not know what God has done in my life and for many personal experience speaks more than certain isolated scientific facts.
Perhaps you've never been made aware that there are millions of Christians (the majority of Christianity, in fact) who have no problem whatsoever with evolutionary theory.To compare man to animal is to debase someone created in the image of God. I am sorry you do not like to hear that.
There is a huge difference between ignorance and willful ignorance. Generally speaking, simply not knowing something is not unethical or immoral. But willful ignorance is different; willfully ignoring facts because those facts are inconvenient to one's ideology is intellectually dishonest and dishonorable. I'm sorry for any loss of friends this might have caused you, but at the same time I can hardly condemn others for taking a stance against unethical behavior.My disbelief in ToE has resulted in a loss of friends, not because I disrespected their beliefs, all I said was "I don't believe in the theory of evolution. I believe in intelligent design," and then I claimed, "but it's great we can agree to disagree." They turned around and said, "I have no respect for someone who willfully ignores facts" and then I was called ignorant.
It needs to be noted that Evolution and Christianity are not incompatible. There are many Christians who acknowledge evolution, indeed, many theists in general who acknowledge evolution.But these teachings did not contradict the existence of an active creator, the way ToE does.
I think we get to the heart of the problem here. The fact that you are an animal and share ancestry with animals does not contradict Christianity at all. What it does is hurt your ego.The study that claims I share an ancestry with an animal, and I do not like classifying man as an animal, removes God's purporseful design and it is a notion I willfully reject and that makes me someone that the scientific community needs to "wage war" against?

That's fine, but you need to realize that you do not reject evolution for any good reason.To Dannager,
I am so sorry I made the assumption you were atheist. (Once again the saying about assumption proves itself true.) My hugely mistaken belief is what made me state the 2nd quoted response in your reply.
And yes, I do have a problem with Christians who accept the ToE. Some of my friends have taken this stance, thankfully, it doesn't lead to insults.
Again, apologies.
Wow! I'd love to read that account!It doesn't go with the historical eye witness account of the begining of the world.
