I don't listen to a sermon I don't understand and think "wow this preacher really knows his stuff", nor do I do it - or should I do it - with science. There's no point in expressing a For or Against POV for something which you fail to understand. I'm not saying I fully understand physics - of course I don't - but what interests me, and what I find interesting and fascinating is the things I research and understand, not the things that nobody understands or the things that "I don't understand". I hope that makes my point clear.
Quote:But present day physics is going so deep into things and the more they find the more wonder I find in the Universe; i can now have a sense of wonder in what I can't see from earth. But in my mind science and religion are not mutually exclusive at least not for me and I would make an educated guess not for a large amount of Christians.Most Xians - in fact most people and even most scientists aren't interested in physics to begin with, so it makes no difference to them. In the same way that I, personally, am really not all that interested in biology.
Quote:But if Athiests claim that they arrive at or hold their position based on logic and science it would be kind of dumb for me not to explore that to see what it is they find compelling there and see if I can at least challenge that in time but even if I can't at least I will have a better understanding than I did before about their position. As well as that Just because they have some good cards in this end of the debate doesn't mean we don't either and if i don't look how can I find.Some of the top scientists are Christians - one of the world's top astrophysicists is a regular attending member of my church as I pointed out in a previous thread. Atheists and scientists in general don't appreciate theists who reject theories of science, like say evolution, on the basis that it conflicts with their religion (their world-view).
WHY are you criticising me for explaining me to you like the comments about myself are some how criticising you. Why are you telling me obvious stuff that if you read my threads you would know I already know.
You are really confusing me, wierding me out trying to make sense of it.
