CHISTIANS PLEASE EXPLAIN

[Carnavon]

I hope he'll be honest enough to realize that the propaganda he's been fed may be misleading or, at least, acknowledge that this one piece of propaganda is outright wrong.
Apologetics for propaganda will render the effort useless...
Wait and see...

I doubt it. The mindsets of science and religion are too different.

In the scientific mindset facts determine conclusions. Such as is the basis for all modern science.

In the religious mindset their religiously indoctrinated conclusions determine the "facts". The religious, at the center of their beliefs, have reached the ultimate conclusion that God and their religion is true. This means that the religious already "know" the answer regardless of any facts they may be presented with. Any facts that run contrary to this pre-determined conclusion become irrelevant or rejected based on the supposition that it must be in error.

Therefore I predict he will ignore, deflect, or evade all of your attempts.

Chaps, you are not correct in your assumptions/conclusions. Christianity and any other faith is what it is called - a faith. It is not a scientific conclusion, but is not at all anti-science. Many great scientists are and were of Christian and other faiths.

I am sorry that I will not have time to continue this discussion for the next few weeks and wish you guys well.

Just a reminder that these discussions will in no way affect what is truth and our personal destinies. It is at most an exercise to take cognizance of the views of others, learn from it where you can and explain your own position as clearly as you are able to. But eventually, it is all "vanity" and in the end means absolutely nothing.
