I'm just going to come out and say it, I'm really starting to think this is a troll thread. It seems like the OP isn't really looking for real discussion and is just looking to be malicious to people of faith. It's a shame really, because the content had potential.
I think if people start muting and reporting trolls like this, the community would actually be decent. Because until people start muting and reporting, the moderation team won't take action.

It's far too easy to dismiss people you disagree with by claiming their intentions aren't pure, which is why any sort of intelligent and thoughtful discussion on Bnext will almost certainly ultimately fail. Bnext is doomed to be a superficial and hollow place where the only "discussions" that take place will be circle-jerks between like-minded individuals.

Take me for example. I follow the teachings of the Bible, yet it does not effect my ability to science... They don't necessarily conflict each other, in fact they [i]can[/i] compliment each other. That's like saying art is incompatible with science bc art is inherently unscientific.

As a person of science, would you agree that a hypothesis needs to be testable and verifiable in order to be considered valid? If you can't test your hypothesis, you go back to the drawing board. Why does that not apply to your religion?

We've established that religion is not scientific(altho the bible is used as historical documentation), but that doesn't imply that they are incompatible. See what I'm getting at here? Just bc something isn't scientific, doesn't mean they are in direct conflict with each other... I believe in the Bible 100%, yet it does not make me inept to science. It actually motivates me to science :)
