I have many scientific facts for me to believe. Certainly more than Christians have.
The creation of the universe and evolution give me better answers than a book written 2000 years ago.
These and the continuing facts that we learn every day. I like science because I can accept that if we learn a new piece of evidence that disproves new information, that we were wrong.
Religion does not have room for this. You must have faith. It's too easy. It's selling a invisible product, always.

[quote]I have many scientific facts for me to believe. Certainly more than Christians have.[/quote] Okay, so? Would you care to give examples so I can tell what you're believing as facts Christians don't have? [quote]The creation of the universe and evolution give me better answers than a book written 2000 years ago.[/quote] Uh, okay? That wasn't at all my point.

Science and Religion are not two conflicting things. Like I said, some of the greatest philosophers and scientists have been religious, Issac Newton was Christian. The discovery of new things and the scientific process is not something religion is against, but that seems like what you're saying, correct me if I'm wrong? Religion isn't a magical solution to all problems, it doesn't answer everything.

One at a time. Being Gay is a sin according to Christianity. Science has discovered the gay gene.

Having sexual intercourse with another of the same gender is said to be a sin in the Old Testament and is mentioned in a few more opinionated letters in the New Testament. It's not too clear if it is still sinful, because the laws of Leviticus were pretty much thrown out b/c of Christ dying. Because of this, it's really left to interpretation unfortunately, and so fundamentalists tend to consider it still sinful. There is no single gay gene. It is a combination of many different factors, like being the youngest of many brothers. Again, what is that supposed to prove and what point from my post was yours addressing?
