I would though I would share this.
And its title is a complete Oxymoron
Intelligent and educated Christians

'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Yes but the theory of evolution had not been discovered yet, so he has an excuse.

(This post was last modified: January 27, 2013 at 2:27 pm by Something completely different.)
Theo Van Gogh was a fundamentalist, mad and radical calvenist christian.
Tolstoy was crazy, simply mad, spending the rest of his life without sex, alcohol or anything "pleasurefull" like a monk, a ultraorthodox russian christian.
Doesnt change my attitude towards Russian literature nore Van Gogh`s paintings.

There are escipions to the rule, The page should be called ' intelligent and educated Creationists' that's a true oxymoron.

Seriously? I know that there are certainly some intelligent and educated Christians, I know this because Slacktivist, who's been liveblogging the Left Behind series for years, is one. But, really, these guys at that Facebook page, aren't among that number.
