I don't think they're as interested as myself, they settle scientific facts of how certain processes work and stop there. That's a little bit of the truth there it's not the full coverage, what about all the other questions? Why does anything exist at all? Why are we here? And so on. Not how we how got here we know how the processes works, more or less I'm sure we will know much more in a thousand years but only about these relatively minor details and specifics of the universe. We're all interested in "truth" here you know.
Quote: If we're not coming away from the bible convinced, it's not because of a presupposition we made that it's wrong- many of us started out as believers, by the way- but rather the total dearth of demonstrable truth within its pages.
If you just base your belief in God on simply the what the Bible says (the Bible isn't the proof or the argument for Gods existence just the revelation/message) then you're very likely to lose your faith with any modest level of scientific and historical education. You will have to put some work into it if you're serious about wanting to know the truth.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
