That doesn't make the religion true though, which is a conclusion a shocking amount of people come too.

And this is why I think most arguements take place. I truly believe that Science is amazing and explains alot of things that are very important. I believe that evolution and adaptation do happen and did happen (not to the same extent as Darwin and other Evolutionist, but the proof is undeniable. Plus, it makes sense).

Religion in itself is a terrible thing. Well, maybe not terrible, but it has turned into a terrible thing. Any belief structure in which one man places himself above other men as "more holy" or "closer to God" will ultimatly lead to a power trip in which innocents will get harmed (the Crusades being the most prominant example, closely followed by radical Muslim "freedom fighters" aka terrorist).

I believe that linking Science and Faith are A) impossible and B) unwise to attempt. I'm not saying that logic and faith aren't intermixable however.

Consider this if you will: Life is the only thing that begets life. True? Of course it is. It has been proven. There is no spontaneous genesis. So where did life come from? The "primordial soup"? Was there some random gathering of protiens that someone formed RNA which combined to form DNA which wrote itself the code in order to create a cell? To say that having God create life is not illogical. This is where faith ties in. To say that because Science hasn't found the answer yet means that God didn't do it is illogical.

I'm using this example to show you that Christians (well some at least) do pay attention in Biology and Physics class. I know, understand, and apply scientific theories to my faith.

and Fal, in that last bit you said that because Science cannot prove nor disprove religion (or to me more specific, the existance of God, the birth of Christ, the Resurrection, etc.) doesn't mean that Religion is true. On the flip side (and this uses your own arguement "against" you ) it doesn't say that it isn't true.

There are people who claim to believe in the same God I do, and who claim to follow his laws and live like he wants them too, and on the whole I find that to be true. There are however people who are lying through there teeth. It's sad and aggravating to me as a Christian that some crazy person can claim to the same truths I do and yet stray so far from them. I say that they are not like me and do not represent my faith.

Alot of people are making generalizations about Christians and what they believe. Some might be correct and others not. I ask that you talk to someone who claims to be a Christian and decide about them whether or not you agree. Don't apply it to the whole.

did any of that make sense?
