Science has proven that the earth wasn't created by a magical fairy 6000 years ago, yes. There's very little doubt about that among educated people.

- nozzlegear 15d agoI think even most religious people accept that bud, unless you're talking to a specific sect of evangelicals. It doesn't disprove religion or "magical fairies" [†] at all. [†] r/atheism circa 2016 called and want their dorky terminology back.
- breezybottom 15d agoChristians don't believe they're made in the image of God? That's news to me.
- nozzlegear 15d agoI think we've lost the plot, you were talking about the earth being made 6000 years ago and now you're talking about people being made in the image of god? You're just scrabbling for anything you think will score a cheap shot, when I'm not even Christian bro. Go try to dunk on someone who's at least half as emotionally invested in this as you are, goofball.

The core of what it's getting at can still be true without it being literal. I have yet to encounter an instance where anything that science has discovered is incompatible with Christianity.

In Europe or in China at that same time you already had elaborate art, language, and proper civilization. While your Hebrew friends were castrating slaves and plagiarizing astrological myths
