Why believe in things contrary to the bible? Sure, some theory might look logical and scientific, but the truth is, if its contrary to the bible it's nothing buth the blathering of some false prophet! Believe in god,and all he says, and leave "theories" to the damned.

Zealots like you make Christianity extremely unnatractive to the unbeliever. You assume on faith alone that a book of the ancients is the ultimate truth, closing your mind to anything contrary to what the book says. Is that what Christianity is about? Shutting your mind off to the rest of the world? Blindly denying scientific discoveries in favour of an ancient book?
It just so happens that you're a Christian; you believe your faith is the ultimate truth. News flash: So do Hindus! There's nothing distinguishing Christianity from the hundreds of other religions mankind gave birth to.
My main concern with some followers is that they use their faith to condemn groups of people. Religion appears to be dying a slow and painful death in this world, eventually we will realise that this life is our only heaven, we wont extend our yearning for self-preservation to fanciful ideas of an afterlife, for which we compete for violently. Compassion is the one, true religion that will give humans what we desire.
By the way, a scripture teacher once told me that if there was no afterlife, there would be no difference between the lives lead by Hitler and Mother Theresa. Why can't one be good for goodness sake, not just for hopes of a special place in heaven?
