Creationists Give Christianity A Bad Name.
Do Christians really want to be associated with a group of people who deny evolution and instead propose that the Earth literally was created in six days?

I’m a scientist in the mid western part of the U.S. And most of my colleagues are Christians. By in large they are thoughtful, intelligent, and logical people. They look at Science as just trying to understand the world around them and don’t have a conflict between that and their personal faith. They also look at most creationists and bible thumpers as ridiculous throwbacks.

 It's not your degreed fellow scientists you should be judging by. It's the guy who runs the 7-11 and the guys on the hunting trip.

Saying christians who believe the word of God give christians a bad name makes no sense. Like saying darwinists who believe in evolution give darwinists a bad name.

Christians give Christianity a bad name. Or rather those who try to force their Christianity onto others.

Jesus said "if the world hates you, remember they hated me first."

I believe God created the heavens and the earth.

So, if Jesus could live with the powers of the world hating him for saying the truth, I can live with the powers of the world hating me for believing the truth.

Not really. All real Christians are creationists because we believe that All of God's word is true and well, the creation was the first thing taught in the bible starting with Genesis 1:1
" in the beginning God CREATED the heaven and the earth" I'm sure you know how to read so you can look it up and read on.

A lot of us give Christianity a bad name, but not really because we're creationists. To be a Christian, one is supposed to believe in creation and reject ideas against the Bible, using reason. Compromisers accept macroevolution and the Big Bang. Sometimes compromise is good. Not in this case.

That whole title is some kind of oxymoron.... Christian means 'Christ like' or Christ follower Do you somehow think Christ didn't believe in creation? You guys are hung up on the creation account...that's like 3 pages of a 1600 page book.....obviously an incomplete account (like evolution) and is not the main focus of the book. > Nowhere does the Bible say 144 hours for creation, it does say a day to the Lord is AS a thousand years and a thousand years AS a day......meaning a long time......who cares? Only an evolutionist trying to support all their theories would be so uneducated and unable to understand what's being said, because they've never read it for themselves (say that is just like an evolutionist....never seen or experienced it themselves it's always because Dawkins said it or darwin said it blah blah blah)

 Some of them have read it for themselves. Some with an open mind, others without one...open.

Not sure if it is the fact that they believe in creation that annoys people here so much. There are many orthodox or Hassidic Jews that believe in creationism, and i don't see anyone complaining about them. Do you get equally annoyed by Buddhists who believe in re-incarnation? Probably not. I think it is more of their nature that irritates people here, along with the fact that there are such numbers of them.

 There are not too many Hassidic Jews or Buddhists on this site. If there were numerous comments saying Buddha says this Buddha says that so I think blah blah then Buddhists would be the focus of our annoyance. It isn't though.

During the Cold War, the US supported and propped up fascist regimes (and still do it, such as Israel). The US turned a blind eye to those regimes' crimes against humanity for one reason: It furthered US "national interests".

The same thing goes with christians who accept evolution but side with cretinists...I mean, creationists. The OEC christians side with the slimy YECs because they are getting their way: Religion in government, religion in schools, religion in the law.

They are guilty of short term and selfish thinking instead of doing what they should - support people who have different views but respect their right to have it. The long term effect, though, is that when you support the indefensible, you end up being guilty of your associates' crimes.
