Why Does Christianity Have A Tradition Of Denying Science Instead Of Growing By It?


When Galileo showed that the earth was but one body orbiting the sun, they had a chance to say, “Wow! There is so much to creation than we thought! Whole other worlds! God is far greater than we expected!”
Instead they charged him with heresy and kept him under house arrest until he died.
When Newton worked out that Gravity and his own laws of motion were able to explain the movements of the planets instead of a god moving them, Newton even wrote how God could still fit into it. That in the absence of a material explanation for gravity, God may be responsible for it as well as sometimes, “resetting” the solar system to address a small instability issue he could not resolve at the time. The church could of thought, “What an amazing system! god has made the heavens predictable for us!”
But because this system did not rely on direct divine intervention, debate over this continued until the time of Napoleon.
Today, we have evolution. An explanation for the diversity of life and why it seems so well suited for all the environments and niches it fills. Based on the brilliant hypothesis of natural selection confirmed again and again not just by predictions of what would be seen in nature, but countless experiments on populations we select for traits in. Something that faces virtually no controversy among biologists.
To it’s credit, the church of old, the Catholic church has already bowed out of this battle. They are largely happy to accept evolution. And for good reason! Its elegance is undeniable. The way it connects us to all other life. The way our forms are a reflection of the more than three billion years of history our ancestors went through. It has so much more beauty than the idea that all life came into existence as it is now. Surely it would be a greater demonstration of the brilliance and creativity of a god than, “He breathed life into dirt.”
Yet about half the citizenry of the nation I live in deny it. What is important is not to discover how the world they believe God designed works. To uncover and understand all its elegance and how that could glorify God. What is important to them is that Genesis can be taken literally.
These were all discoveries Christianity could have embraced and used to become something more incredible. These were all missed opportunities for them. Why let these slip by?

I have been very interested in the University of Findlay and it’s affiliated with the Church of God, I go to a Baptist or Methodist church if I go. Are they basically the same? Will I be rejected if I apply to them?

Do I Have The Right To Denounce All Religions?


I am a canadian lebanese guy and i want my official religion on my documents in lebanon to be: atheist or agnostic or even apostate.
I dont mind the label, the point is that I do not believe in god, and I really believe all religions are man-made, and that the idea of god is just a part of human imagination.
If I reject the religion handed down from my parents and all other current options, do i have to renounce my lebanese citizenship?
This is an extremely sensitive issue for me right now because I do NOT accept the need for a sheiks approval in order to get married. I’m 24 and I’m thinking of getting married. I will definitely not be marrying a religious person, and I have absolutely no requirement that the girl be sunni like my parents. That aside, I am proudly not affiliated with any religion, and I’m hoping to find a way for the lebanese government to let me be who i am, and not who my ancestors were.

Do I Love God Too Much?


If I’m supposed to love God more than anyone, I don’t see the point of affiliating myself with anyone else. I don’t even talk to my parents. I just talk to God a lot. This is normal, right?
