I have to go along with many of the posts earlier...

OP, you're an idiot. I'm sorry, but you have proven it so. It's very obvious that you're so closed to the idea that someone can have beliefs in both science and religion that you're going to sacrifice your own education. Your parents have helped the world in creating a close minded moron that will go into the world and create more of the same. Let us think about those who have not allowed themselves to understand the viewpoints of others...

- Hitler
- George W. Bush
- Some of my old bosses
- You

Oh yeah, you're on a wonderful track in life. Good luck.

Hydrology isn't really related to religion.

unless you want to talk about the movement of water as Jesus walked on it... 🙂

but in all seriousness...

why is it impossible or hard to believe that a Christian can be a scientist w/o having his Christian views cloud his scientific views...

i am a firm believer in that science and religion go hand in hand (the existence of God can be argued from a scientific point of view) but that's not what this discussion is about.

i'm an enviro engineer and a Christian... my beliefs on religion do not effect my judgement at the work place.... water is h2o... water moves underground based on stratigraphy and specific hydrogeology... i don't see how my views of religion effect what is not only observed to be true but can be proven through equations and experiments...

there are many Christian scientists in this world... seems oxymoronic but as i stated before... science and religion go hand in hand...

just my humble .02

Then couldn't it be said that your (or anyone else's) non-God belief could cloud theirs?

That is why he is in school. If he takes a class about 1 thing, but the prof is teaching something else, it isn't fair to the OP. The OP doesn't know for sure this prof is doing that, so this thread is rather worthless.

Can't risk it. He might not have his god belief cloud his judgement, but who knows. I am always skeptical of god believers who claim to be scientist.

Text Im not sure who said it but theres an old saying that goes something like " You sir, are an idiot" I think it's rather fitting here.
 
LMAO@OP

I took Hydrology. Its about rain gauges, detention ponds, and hyteographs. Maybe the bible talks about detention ponds.

Engineering isn't really science. Engineering is about solving problems with the use of scientific principles. Science on the other hand is about finding out how nature works, which can interfere with religion.

SCIENCE DAMN YOU TIME CHILD!

What would the flood in Noah be... 1,000,000,000 year flood? We had a 100-year flood last year in CA and it was pretty bad 😛

You've never heard of Noah's Ark? Obviously the entire course is a thinly veiled attempt to press the teachings of Genesis upon America's youth.

EDIT: Fix eini, alphatarget1.

I'd me more worried about your english teacher if I were you, right along side your logic teacher. Care to explain your last sentence, or offer any evidence that makes you think this?
 
Just a question, what country are you from originally? I'm wondering if this deep-rooted animosity towards Christians that you have might come from a cultural background where religion was villified and outlawed.

Okay, call yourself what you feel is most appropriate. I think that word meanings change over time, and so what you were at one point may not be descriptive of you at another, even if you yourself do not change. It used to be that "extremists" blew up abortion clinics and stuff. Now "fundamentalists" blow up abortion clinics and stuff. Since I don't blow up abortion clinics and stuff, I think it might be a good idea for me to come up with another word to describe myself, since the purpose of such a word would be to help people identify who I am, and "fundamentalist" would give them the wrong idea.

Not suggesting that you would, but to make the point, the meaning of the word Christian has changed in alot of people's minds. Would you change that also?

It appears that it means "Go to h&ll".

wait...to the OP that place doesn't exist. we just die, become part of the earth and then grow into beatiful trees. Only to be cut down turned into paper and have the bible printed on us.

Yeah, I'd be willing to. How we're called has no impact on how we live our lives and what we believe, and it was to a believe and a lifestyle we were called, not to a name. Jesus never used the word "Christian" and it was something that grew out of the society at the time to set apart a group of believers. Since the society we live in now is a "Christian" society, the term no longer sets apart the believers - why wouldn't a new term be adapted?

Not saying it will or should, but I also don't see why not.
