If theists were honest they would investigate and understand the stance they reject. Once they would understand the position they rejected, they would see how absurd their faith has made them. |
Most Christians do not reject "science" for the most part, medical dicoveries and inventions are not rejected by most Christians when they are in need of medical attention. And they might even support science sending a space probe to Mars, and other such things.
Science as an industry actually originated in the shaman religions and then seperated from that later on in history.
But they do not worship science as the top authority like much of the more secular people might. In a court of law then might call in an expert in the field of science as a "top authority". His opinon might effect the outcome of a case and a persons life. The court would not call in an expert from a church. Meanwhile the one on trial (if really innocent) might be doing a lot of praying.
But here is the point. They do not accept the idea that life on earth and all it's balanced complexities just happen due to accidental and random events that were without guidence. If Christians used physics the odds of that taking place would be like a miricle. Because a miricle would be an event that by known odds cannot happen or if it did it would be very rare indeed. So the basics supporting the "orgin of the spieces" is founded on a miricle because it is difficult to imagine such can take place logically.
The car I am driving was made by science, but if science told me that it just came together by random events as a working automoble and for me to believe it, because the physics can prove that such might be possible, then I would respectfully reject their theory.
Is that being dishonest?
I would not respond to the use of the word "retarded" because then you can claim I got mad and that anger is not Christian like. Which is not acturally a problem because I do like owning or wearing name tags.
