The Biblical Believers....

Dawkins, Ridley, and Gould make a ton of ridiculous assumptions in their books, but they're interesting nonetheless.

Want to know who the strongest believers I encountered in school were? My Biochem prof and Anatomy prof.

The most anti-religious was the prof who taught 2 of my experiemental neuro courses.

Can you defend the old testament cindylou???? Based on the Christians' teachings they are genocidal and infanticidal....

ohhhh, believers are getting themselves separated from those "bad" parts of the Bible, but they still will tell you that the whole book is inspired by God and should be taken word for word

My ex-gf believed the Bible was the literal word of God. She did use the rationalization that God's time is different so six of God's days are different from our days. She has a BS in Biology with a minor in chemistry. She has an amazing ability to compartmentalize her faith from her science. I never understood that...

I just assume most of your posts are as thoughtless and ridiculously slanted as the above one.

Hey that's my exact degree. I dont have much trouble separating the two because I dont see them as mutually exclusive. People like Lestat make it easy to see the flaws in thinking of people who are the polar opposite of what you elude to your ex gf's thinking.

She always told me, "Why do you always have to question everything." To her credit, the things I brought up were things she admitted to struggling with in her faith her entire life. She went to a Christian school up until high school too.
