You fear the results of men who pervert their faith for personal gain, which is a valid fear since such men have killed many innocent people, however, so have those men who are atheists who put their faith in science and seek political control for personal gain? The end result from both groups is the same. It is not religious faith that causes human misery it is people.
You know MatthewGS, you are not the first nor will you be the last member of this board to decide the Bible is myth, which is why we have the Science Forum and the Evidence for ID Forum. If you are so convinced your right and we are wrong then why not contribute your vast knowledge in the Science Forum? Why not actually discuss issues instead of assuming all those Christians who after checking out the "observed data" have come to the conclusion the universe is not 12 billion years old and that macroevolution is a pipe dream accept Genesis as a valid explanation for creation?
So far you have attacked those who accept the Bible as weak minded superstitious individuals who lack the mental capacity to research, think for themselves, and come to their own decisions. Science should serve mankind, mankind should not serve science. How does faith in science feed the poor, house the homeless, and cloth the naked? The fact is science does not have a social conscious, people do. So no matter what one puts their faith in it is how one lives their life that is important.
BTW, I decide what is and is not a personal attack, not you. You have been warned. We discuss issues on this message board and your opinions concerning individuals or groups of individuals does not advance open and respectful communication.
