Personally, I think it's because atheists do not think that biblical evidence is actual evidence. So, when you mention something from the bible, it's inevitable that an atheist will respond with "What scientific evidence is there for that?"
I hope this don't get me a sermon on Scientific theory and peer review etc. but from my perspective it comes down to someone informing me that using the Bible as a basis for my beliefs is circular reasoning but belief in evolution is true because science says it is true.
That has always been my observation when it comes to science only as far as evolution is concerned.
I have read the posts that you, CoxRox, EvF, and Adrian have posted today and tomorrow I am going to try and work out some way of having a more ballanced and open minded approach to see where you are coming from and get my own point across.
I have to admit, I don't have much of an interest in science but that isn't because I feel threatened by it as far as my beliefs go. I feel more threatened by religion than science.
Well I will save the discussion for a new thread and I would like to get input from everyone brave enough to consider.
