I will never understand non-believers almost instinctive need to try to disprove Christianity and/or other religions. It's almost like a religion of its own.

And yeah, it's dumb and pointless for someone like Bill Nye to go into Waco, TX and start quoting bible verses alongside his lecture. I'm not sure what the title of his presentation was, or what the flyer or whatever said though. If it said that he was going to present that stuff, then the people who stormed out are the dumb ones for getting upset. If not, Bill Nye needs to keep his lecture on topic.

People believing such obviously disproved/false points in the bible (in this case, the sun as something other than a star and the moon as a light of its on) just bleeds blind ignorance. I'm sorry Impala, I'm not cracking on the Christian faith or intelligent Christians. But to blindly accept something true that has been proven false ALL because it is in a book of moral fables is silly.

how did anything get disproved? they are two points of light. the bible doesn't say two "sources" of light. I think to many people take the bible word for word and just laugh like it's stupid, without thinking about what's being said. Even believers do it. If you take what's written in context and stop trying to apply two thousand years worth of linguistics changes, there's nothing in there that doesn't add up.

I don't understand you guys sometimes... it's not blind acceptance. It's called faith. faith is believing in something that cannot be proven. That's what all religions are.
