When I was little, I naively believed that God and religion is the same entity. Quite some time ago, I find that somehow there are conflicting ideas in both.
Can we say that God does not intervenes in earthly matter so that he allows evolution, then we can create a bridge between it. But the theory of Dino-bird link completely oppose the scriptures written by Moses. So what now, treat it as hoax? But there is too many fossils to treat it as hoax or taking it as it might be the opposite? What about carbon dating, can we take 1 day in the scripture can be more than 1000 days in real life? Then what about the great flood described when it comes to Noah? Scientists predict that there is not enough water to cover the entire earth. Can we say that it was written that way as at that time man only know small part of the planet? how about the part that mention that the earth is flat? I can't find a good way to bridge it but for earth to be centre of universe, theory of relativity might explains it. I question, is there such thing as spirit, if there is, is the spirit of mentally ill patient defected? How about multiple personality?
Why the church used to be sexist during the classical period? Why the twelve disciples are racist? Then why people kill in the name of religion? Why we impose our views on others? Why we bother to start a war in the name of religion? Then what about African slaves, did the bible mention anything about it?
