But it can be done ... only usually not by the small-minded people you have mentioned.

This is a really interesting blog entry, and one which I think all religious people must come to terms with at one point in their life or another. If you believe in your faith ... but feel that idiots are making a mockery of your faith and that your faith is losing credibility in the eyes of smart atheists or agnosts ... what do you do? If it makes you feel any better, people at Butler are just as Baghdad-Time backwards as people in Arkansasia. We have several regular posters on Jay's weblog who believe that scientists are wrong about the Earth's age. One presented a very good argument, and eventually he and I had to simply agree to disagree. (But it was very well-founded. As expected, he is a theist and a scientist, much like yourself.) The other guy ... LOL, MALCOLM. Anyway, I expect that, surrounded by Southern Christian types 24/7, this issue eats at you a lot. You've got your smart Christians, your smart non-Christians, your stupid Christians, and your stupid non-Christians. Uh ... final comment. While I don't think religious faith is by any means a correspondance with intelligence (particularly as I would reject Christianity in faith of, say, Islam) ... the smartest kid in the class of 2007 at Caltech (Po-Ru Loh) is a Christian, and some of the other smartest I know (Lydia, Jing) are as well. It doesn't make your faith right ^_- ... but it certainly lends you moral, spiritual, and academic support of some kind to know that smart, nice people in this world, much like yourself, find ways to reconcile the Bible with modern science.
