propose to use Science as a weapon with which to attack and destroy Judeo-Christianity

It's always fascinating to consider the attack on Christianity. It's easy to say it's because we proclaim the Truth, and it's so when we bring it up. It is one evidence of the veracity of our claim. But, evidence only in that other religions are no where near similarly attacked.

No one is posturing to debate Rostafarians, Buddhists, Islamics, or Hindus. Why? Because their view of origins or the very origin of their religion is so disposable that no THREAT is seen in them.

FWIW, Christianity has chosen to challenge their brand of so-called science and it angers them, more than that it makes them worry about their mortality. It almost gets to their conscience....but, not quite.

They realize the ease with which one can look at the complexity of Creation and realize there must be a Designer, a Creator.

They also realize the arguments from the empty tomb.

Christianity confronts them, and Christianity not only defends itself. It defends itself well. It has real teeth, and it's not just rolling over.

Notice how much this community has "hated" on the opponents of global warming. They despise those who fight them who have a valid set of weapons. That is just a small illustration of their "fear" of Christianity and of our Christ.

I am pretty sure that if some scruffy, bearded, swarthy student whose first, middle or last name was Mohammed, stood up in Biology class and blurted out that Jews were the descendants of monkeys and pigs, that the professor would not dare to attempt to refute that claim. He would nod in agreement and attempt as quickly as possible to change the subject.

But if a Christian student postulated that the universe was designed in a way that cannot be naturally explained, then he would be ridiculed out of the class.

Indeed and an astute observation. Just watch Hannity play Bill Maher show clips.

“FWIW, Christianity has chosen to challenge their (Liberals/Socialists, etc) brand of so-called science and it angers them, more than that it makes them worry about their mortality. It almost gets to their conscience....but, not quite.”

I think that the difference in our thought lies chiefly in the chronology. It seems to me that Christianity came into existence before Science. In fact, I have often insisted that Science is Christian Western Civilization’s happiest inspiration, as evidenced by its application of intellectual rigorousness and the unrelenting pursuit of intellectual honesty to the “new” field of its discovery.

Witness, then, the subsequent seizure of Science by the Liberal/Socialist movement in a desperate attempt to disprove the validity of the whole Judeo-Christian Tradition (see Marx’s comic attempts to validate his particular brand of Socialism as “Scientific” and the breathless pursuit of the same theme by his latest and most ardent disciples; the 0bmatrons).

In any event, our differing views seem to lead us to the same conclusion.
Honestly . . . I don’t think our differences amount to anything even worth discussing beyond the initial recognition.
