Quote:Some science challenges a literal interpretation of Genesis.
All science charged with discovering the origins of the world and universe flatly denies the literal account of Genesis. And, if the beginning of the story is bullshit, why believe that the rest of it isn't?
Quote:Science began as a mostly Christian enterprise, now it is partially secular.
How fucking ignorant. Science, as we understand it, began in Ancient Greece, flourished in medieval Muslim empires (while Christendom was mired in the pits of superstition and ignorance), and has only ever been acceptable to Christians when the findings do not contradict their dogma.
Quote:Many of the greatest scientists in history have believed in God.
Thus proving that even the smartest men get it wrong sometimes. Also, theists do claim to have scientists among their number who never did, such as Albert Einstein. Many who make positive statements about 'god' are in reference to a 'natural' God, such as that of Spinoza, not the totalitarian dictator Christians worship.
Quote:All of the major universities started as Christian universities and still are Christian to a large degree.
All major opposition to science in the west started as a Christian endeavour and this remains true to this day.
Quote:55% of scientists believe in God.
Show sources which indicate the percentage of scientists who believe in a personal God.
