since when is modern Protestantism cowardly? the teachings of the New Testament are quite clear that since Jesus' first coming, traditions save no one and all that we need to believe is that Jesus is the Son of God and He died for our sins, and rose again. it makes no attempts to be more modern -- it still (in general) believes active homosex is a sin and that you should save sex for marriage. where has it tried to be more modern? it only tries to go back to the roots of Christianity: Christianity as Jesus and the Apostles said it should be.
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
i wouldn't take "evidence" so literally (especially in such an old translation as the KJV). other translations say "conviction", among other things.
and i'm not sure if your stab at young earth theory is also meant to be a point where Christianity can be disproven
That's exactly the point.
but it doesn't disprove Christianity as Christianity doesn't depend on some peoples' interpretations and calculations leading to a 6000 year old earth.
i know in general we're in agreement that science and religion are compatible, but i just had to pop-in where you guys put across that Christianity is incompatible with science.
