Faith is cool.
But religion burned Bruno and imprisoned Galileo, whom many consider to be the first scientist.

The Golden Rule is highly logical for societal animals such as we are.
Being condemned to eternal damnation for disbelief is not. But it helps keep people in line and helps fill the coffers.

I don't dismiss history. I dismiss superstition.

I didn't say it is.

I'm not.
You are free to wallow in superstition.
I'm not doing so. I have not once specified Christians.
Why are you framing Christians as scientificaly ignorant or inept when history shows that non believers have been.
Cute. But what's up with the apostrophe?
But my little star who're
I am not implying anything. I am saying that those who unflinchingly rely only upon tales repeated (and distorted) for thousands of years are simply superstitious. I am not saying that Christians, or those of any other faith, cannot accept the findings of science. But I am saying that many will not.
What you are implying is that Christians who talk creation don't want or care to research more into the natural world when history proves you wrong
I did not know that you don't believe that, but it is preached by most who preach that God created life and that it has been unchanged since.
You don't believe it, I don't believe it but you thought it was relevant to the conversation, why?
