Maybe you shouldn’t generalize. I think Palin was a great pick and I am a Christian, who happens to have 2 Masters and am 1 year away from a Computer Science PhD. I am also a successful software consultant and make more money that most doctors, so I don’t consider myself uneducated or stupid.
There are plenty of intelligent people who actually have the guts to question the status quo in the scientific commmunity and research the claims of ancient literature including the Bible as well as dig into the logic behind all of the evolution hype. When I was a kid, the earth was 2 billion years old, now what is it – 4.6 billion? I haven’t gotten that much older. They keep having to extend time to allow for all of the impossibilities of life growing in complexity when all evidence is that things left to themselves breakdown.
Try evolving an eye. The eye is useless unless the entire infrastructure is complete. All the intermediate forms of that are useless. Why would any animal undergo the baggage of thousands or millions of years of useless intermediate forms in the hope that someday a developing component would become useful? The whole thing is so illogical, it is repulsive to me. But take God out, and I guess that’s your only choice.
As far as creating the earth in 6 days, God could have done it in 6 seconds, and it still would look like it took several billion years to us, God invented time, so he can do what he wants with it. Your whole generalization is one based on believing what you hear rather than really investigating the facts and not allowing for the supernatural to exist.
Go study all the facts behind those who ridicule Christianity including the convoluted theories for the empty tomb and the lame explanations for why a handful of individuals would change the world of their time and die for something that was a lie. Look at some of the great scholars of history and of modern times such as Newton, C.S. Lewis, and see if you can refute their logic.
