It's even more lopsided when it comes to scientists and evolution. You can find "some sort of disagreement" for the shape of the earth, as well. "Some sort of disagreement" is about as flaccid a statement as someone could make.
Then it shouldn't have been made.
There is no historical evidence whatsoever that the Jesus as described in the Bible ever actually existed.
Likewise with the claims of creationism. No evidence in favor of creationism whatsoever.

IOW, every conceivable belief exists somewhere in Christianity. Christian Scientists have the balls to call themselves Christians just like scads of the rest of them. No surprise there. That Jesus failed to set up a proper and rigorous franchising and/or multi-level marketing plan for His religion is something the True® religious folks of this era are just going to have to live with.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. - Proverbs 3:5
Again, I'm only interested in what the scriptures say, not someones misguided belief of what they think the scriptures imply.
Find me anywhere in the bible where it states one is not to go to a doctor.
Quote:Luke 8Why is this Jewish woman seeing doctors if it is forbidden?
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

Believe it or not, it's in the Bible, and there are folks that take it absolutely seriously. I believe they are called Literalists. Perhaps you've heard of them ???
That scripture doesn't mean "don't go to a doctor"...
There are conditions that doctors cannot treat, as in the above scripture, therefore "they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
The Bible is the perfect document for bigoted assholes like you to cherry-pick.
You can find verses that support what you say and you can ignore all the verses that don't.
You're such a fucking moronic Christian that you aren't even capable of admitting the fact that the Bible is full of contradictions. Even sensible Christians will admit that if taken literally the Bible is full of contradictions. So, of course, they have to decide for themselves which parts are literal and which parts aren't. Find a contradiction? Oh that pat is metaphorical then.
The fact that you won't even admit that there are any contradictions in the Bible of all just goes to show what a fucking stupid fucker you are. But, of course, we already knew that.
You wanted me to present you with 1 contradiction in the Bible and I presented you with over 500.
