As C.S. Lewis said:

Christians have to believe in a loving and all-powerful God.

Scientists have to believe that life spontaneously came into existence out of inorganic compounds, that this primitive life eventually evolved into plants, that the plants evolved into primitive animals, that the animals evolved into birds, insects, reptiles, fish, amphibians, and mammals. Scientists further believe that some of the mammals evolved into the primates, that some of the primates evovled into Neandethals with big brains, and that the big-brained Neanderthals were superceded by the small-brained Cro-Magnons. Scientists go on to believe that Cro-Magnons were in the world for 50,000 years without really amounting to much, until about 5000 years ago when things began to improve. Suddenly, after about a billion years of this evolution, scientists believe that we needed only 5000 years to go from living in caves to walking on the Moon.

I'm not a scientist. I don't have that much Faith.

Nor much curiosity, apparantly.

Well, that's pretty obvious...

It IS possible to be a scientist and a Christian, you know. God made the Universe, and scientists study how it works. God gave you a mind. You should develop it.

Then you must not be a very good Christian either...because a true walk with God requires a tremendous amount of faith.
