It doesn't work because they don't go by the criteria REAL scientists use, and when they do they use stories that put them in with the tin foil hat group to try to get sympathy.
Actually Helix everyone is brainwashed growing up its how we develop biases like skin color sexual orientation Regilous beliefs etc etc. Many of Gods so called traits are human based....If there was a god he would not be demanding my love like a Father or a jilted lover.
God must have low self esteem if he was insulted at my disrespect..for example
@TrevorBlack79 Having had the Christian God impact my life in many and miraculous ways, I am unable to separate my faith from science. Truly, I have not found good reason to. I have found them to be entirely compatible. If learned Biologists, Zoologists, Paleontologists, and Geologists can find a Young Earth Creation yet plausible, Why should I believe macro-evolution is solid? Many of these same scientists say evolution is mostly invention.
But I should kick God's word to the curb. Not likely.
Additioally: If there are scientists who have a Creationist agenda, what makes them less credible that those who favor a no-gods one? Both look at the same evidence and can reach different conclusions from interpreting what they see.
Adding: The Bible was written at a time when people generally did not understand why the sun rises and sets. True. Yet, taking the literal account at face value, (regarding the "creation week" in particular), reveals quite a depth of understanding of the laws of physics and biology. (even evolutionists claim life originated from "dirt" and not some magical "'poof'' there you are!" The literal accounts are not outdated. They are, generally, outmoded by people who don't want to believe.
@TrevorBlack79 I am completely in agreement with the assessment that, if my faith in God is solid, I should have nothing to fear, from examining the evolutionists position. I do not believe for a minute though that evolution is a true science, what little I have seen trashes it entirely as plausible, (particularly "accidental life"). I believe it to be nothing more than an excuse to avoid confronting the notion of an actual Creator's existence, and what He may require of His Created beings.
@DLmadison100 The evidence for evolution is as solid and abundant as that for gravity, germ theory, heliocentric theory, plate tectonics, atomic theory, and the laws of motion. Whether a God set the universe in motion or not is hardly relevant to understanding HOW the universe functions, and belief in one should not be a hindrance to the other. I know many theists who accept scientific reality. I've known a few atheists who doubted evolution. God and science need not be mutually exclusive.
@DLmadison100 I won't bother you again, but I encourage you to look into the evidence available honestly, instead of cherry-picking a handful of scientists with a religious agenda to promote, or a few quotes mined out of context.
If your faith in God is solid, you should have nothing to fear from learning about the method of creation used. The literal accounts of the Bible are, simply put, outdated. They were written by people who didn't understand why the sun rises and sets each day.
@TrevorBlack79 Yes, I was indeed rude, to be so arrogant and self assured of my grasp of some scientific terminology definitions, and also in blanket labeling atheists and evolutionists together as being entirely without integrity. Vulgar, however, I have not been. That term is reserved for people who use inappropriate language in a "child friendly" public forum.
Unlike the majority of scientists, I can admit when I'm wrong. (Evolution IS a faerie tail.)

@DLmadison100 "No trans-specie mutations are presently occurring."
I'm sorry, but this is completely false. The phenomenon is called "speciation," and has been observed numerous times.
"Unlike the majority of scientists, I can admit when I'm wrong."
So you DO believe that ~99% of life scientists are involved in a conspiracy to promote the greatest hoax in human history? To what end?
"(Evolution IS a faerie tail.)"
What evidence can you present that the current evolutionary theory is false?
