Do atheists refuse to fly because the Wright brothers were theists? WOT a joke!!!!!
You're missing the point.
There is no contradiction between being Christian and using a computer, however, you are the one complaining about science and its answers. If you don't like science, don't avail yourself of its benefits, which the computer happens to be.
I understand that religion gives you answers that science cannot, and that is fine. The problem is when you attack science itself and the answers it gives rather than the idea of relying solely on science for answers.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
