My brother made a good point

[Ben Davis]

Firstly, welcome. Before you wade in to the forum-proper, it's good form to do an 'intro' thread, let us know a little about yourself. You can do that here

...and like Igno said, here comes the blast.

He said that while scientists try to disprove God...

No they don't, he lied. Whilst I'm not going to be able to speak for the motivations of every scientist, the overwhelming majority (when asked) state that their motivations are along the lines of adding to the sum of human knowledge, discovering something new, turning over established views and helping people. What you're parroting is a common theistic misrepresentation of scientists in order to demonise them.

...science changes everyday, what's right one day is wrong the next, so how can you rely on it?

Not every day but yes, I get your point, science does change. More accurately, it corrects itself; as new evidence is found, as new tests are completed, as new experiments are formed, as better explanations are formulated, the scientific view of an individual subject comes ever closer to an accurate description of reality. That's the purpose of the scientific method; not just to find things out but to make sure that our discoveries are as accurate as possible, given the knowledge we have at the time. It's a self-correcting, self-motivating, self-advancing methodology.

Meanwhile God and Christianity is never changing.

Rhythm's already done this one but I'll repeat for emphasis: your type of Christianity probably didn't exist 200 years ago and if it did, the doctrine would have been very different as would the actions taken by the adherents.

He also said he was speaking to a former evolutionary scientist who said there's no evidence for evolution, to be fair though I didn't hear much of that story.

And you should stop listening right there. Not only is there an overwhelming abundance of evidence to support the theory, it's the only theory that comes anywhere near close to explaining the observed facts. Science is as sure about evolution as it is about gravity, conservation of momentum or the water cycle.

Your short post is brimming over with disingenuity. I hope it's not going to be typical of your future subject-matter.

What has religion done recently?
Save my brother from certain death. The doctors said he was done for but through faith in God he completely recovered, even the Muslim doctor said our family's faith had something to do with it.

Evidence please. Not just mumbo-jumbo bullshit but real verifiable evidence.

My brother is a COLLEGE GRADUATE by the way.

From where? Bob Jones University?

No geography.

[Bad Wolf]

A liver disease.

And did the nice doctors give him medicine?

[SteelCurtain]

So your position---let me get this straight---is that it is more admirable to stick with something you know to be false or incorrect rather than amend your position as you learn new things? That somehow because scientists are happy (excited even!) to admit when they've gotten it wrong (and then proving how they corrected themselves!)---this makes them an unreliable source when seeking to describe the world in realistic terms?

And then on top of this, you are further claiming that the backwards bronze age mentality that comes with Christianity and your particular god is a good thing because you like to think it never changes? Do you still sell your daughters into marriage for a bride price? Do you stone people for minor infractions? Do you still burn "witches" at the stake? Do you still support the overt racism borne of Christian leaders in the south in the 60's? Of course your religion has changed.

Welcome.
