FACTS vs the word of god. When truth matters , which do you pick
I noticed several believers keep denying solid, tested , irrefutable scientific evidence , simply because it’s not biblically acceptable. Not just evolution, but the fossil record, geology, cosmology, biology, etc. they never give a reason . We’re just supposed to accept it’s wrong , god’s word is the only thing that counts. Even when god doesn’t know WTF he’s talking about. I also noticed, they don’t feel the need to enlighten the rest of us as to why we should ignore the evidence.

I believe in science and also believe that bits and pieces of religion fit in with the timeline, so a little bit of both. Can we not believe that God intended the dinosaurs before mankind? And that Adam and Eve were apes?
@DecafD There are plenty (a majority) of Christians who believe the OT is a metaphor of social development (a grand social narrative used to unite the evolving Jewish tribes in a common set of values). Lutherans, Anglicans, Catholics, Unitarians and many other believers hold that physics, chemistry and evolution are the means by which God created the universe and everything in it. In fact, those who wrote the US Declaration of Independence and the constitution believed this. The emergence of far right, fundamentalist and Creationist Christians is a relatively new phenomenon of the last forty years or so.
