Those who have left chritianity and all man's religion are not blind or ignorant as a matter of fact religion has always tried to hide facts about who are and where we came from to continue to propagate ancient mythology which is exactly without any doubt what all religion is. In this day and age there is no excuse for ignorance. We know where we came from and how we got here and none of our ancient ancestors ever sinned..you as a homo sapien are only 200 thousands years old or so in the millions of years of human ancestry. You have three different human branches that you have interbred with in the past, and you definitely had an ancient ape ancestor. These are facts not beliefs from stories passed down by illiterate people thousands of years ago when the only explanation for the unknown was must have been God. we know how complex life on this planet came to be. Your NDE's that gets so famouslouly broadcasted can be replicated in a lab, and people who faint have the exact NDE experiences. There is zero evidence you have a soul. your simply a mammal with a more developed brain. We now know you don't die when your heart stops your body lives for hours after that. Everyday we discover evidence that elminates ancient belief systems but they won't be heard by brainwashed folks. People think the earth is flat and that there was once a perfect human who committed sin
Same ignorant thinking.there my be a creator but the evidence is overwhelming there is not a personal God and that man is anything special. So please don't say people are ignorant because they don't believe in fairy tales.
You show that you are just as ignorant as the fundamentalist that you are attacking. You can be a Christian and believe in science. You can believe in Jesus and not that the creation story is literal. In my opinion it takes more faith to believe in human creation through evolution without God than it does with God. A lot of great scientists are and have been people of faith.
Below are a few prominent Christian scientists.
Georges Lemaitre - Jesuit Priest, father of Big Bang Theory
Charles Townes- Active Christian, Won Nobel Prize in Physics, developer of masers and lasers and discovered the Black Hole in the center of the Milky Way, wrote on issues of science and religion
Francis Collins - Devout Christian, led the Human Genome Project for 15 years
Ernest Walton - Devout Christian, Nobel Prize in Physics, first to split an atom with John Cockcroft, lecture series on Religion and Science is named after him. It's sponsoring organization is Christians in Science
John Houghton - Devout Christian, professor of Atmospheric Physics at Oxford, Nobel Prize winner
