Well that was your last post, so I am guessing this is why you are being banned.
Although... I think you just used the wrong word. Many Christians are educated. But that subject is kind of a taboo for some.
My Mom will not even read "The Davinci Code" because of its basic message. She is not dumb, she just does not want to let anything like that in her head. She believes the more junk you read or watch the more likely it is that you will question. For her to have faith in whatever she wants to believe, she cannot question.

That is something I find to be very porblematic for religion and religous people. If what they say is true, religion should be able to handle such a question and respond to in a way that supports its existence. The fact that religious conservatives reject questions and queries implies that they either have no favourable answer or they want to supress such questions in order to restrict free thought and make sure followers stay obidient.

So because someone doesn't have an answer to everything, its immediately considered to be flawed? By that logic, science is much more flawed than any religion, for it has more unanswered questions than any religion out there
|
Yes, a lot of science is flawed and a lot of it is still assumed but unproven theories (ie the Big Bang: what went bang?). The difference is science doesn't shy away from these questions but attempts to find the answers. Religion doesn't just shy away from the question, it tries to quash them completely.

neither do religious people. they have their answer, their explanation just not to everything. And so neither does science, just because someone doesn't have an answer to everything doesn't mean they try to remove the question
