So, I've been reading through some of the hundreds of "prove to me that God is real" threads, and based off the majority of Christian comments, I've come to a conclusion: Pretty much the only reason people believe in God is "faith".
I'd just like to remind everyone that faith is the deliberate suppression of critical thinking skills.
What kind of God would give humans such intricate brains, then tell us not to use our critical thinking and reasoning skills, things that separate us from most other animals?
We shouldn't have to ignore science, or go against our intuitions just to be able to believe in God, and subsequently go to heaven.
Purse, out.

So what happens when a Christian Uses knowledge and critical thinking skills to support their faith? A.K.A me. A.K.A Sir Robert Boyle the Grandfather of Chemistry. [spoiler]You are right though. Many Christians won't get much smarter since they just say "God did it." Sure maybe he did it. But HOW did he do it?[/spoiler]
