those who choose to believe in, say, scientific theories that may contradict scripture may be able to discover things and accomplish things the believer could not

The above is not a useful objection, as I am quite certain that no such "scientific theories contridicting scripture" can be produced, nor can the "discoveries and accomplishments" resulting from them be documented. If you are of the POV that they can, this is still not the place for such musings, which would be a great deal more relevent in arguments against the existence of God, or perhaps published in any number of scientific journals. Needless to say such documentation would be rather earth shattering, assuming it does not require a leap of faith ;) Sam Spade 07:28, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I don't know what the original author had in mind, but the first thing that comes to mind is the progress in gene therapy due to the evolutionary biology and genetics approach, an approach taken in contradiction to the first chapter of Genesis. mydogategodshat 07:36, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I am by no means alone in failing to see a contridiction betwixt evoloution and creationism. The number of believing scientists sharing my opinion is stagering. I would be happy to discuss with you the preponderance of proven biblical facts in comparrison to the lack of any disputing documentation of events depicted, but this is not the place for such discussion.

Hindu gods

I find this edit particularly amusing, but I must point out that Hinduism is at its very core an all embracing religion. The quote "all paths lead to God" is a particularly useful one when considering the theoretical punishments a lesser hindu diety might dish out when punishing a believer in the Christian God (which is nearly universally seen by Hindu's as equivilent to Brahman).
