religion is a "state of mind"
Yes, my science is the type you don't like where things must be physically proven. Preferably by scientists who aren't employed by the church, or even the faculty of church funded universities.
I have never said I deny the possibility of god, you however can not argue from an open view point because you cannot admit the possibility of no god. Admitting that god may not exist would be a direct threat to your faith therefore Darwin must be wrong, carbon dating must not work, and the church must employ scientists. For every scientist you can name that believes in 'the creation' I'll name fifty that don't.
But, on to a slightly different point. As a christian, and I'm going to generalise wildly, Why do Christians quote the Old Testament? If you accept Jesus as the Christ aren't his teachings more important? 'An eye for an eye' and 'turn the other cheek' don't sit well together.
I ask this because as a man of science I can happily accept the teachings of Jesus and if christians weren't still half jewish I might even accept christianity.
