Opinion of Christian Science

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

I'm interested to hear some perspectives on this, particularly from other Christians here.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Negative. Science and religion are separate domains and they should both keep to their own.

[Santander]

The Monitor was a formerly great newspaper which has become the Jon Huntsman of news.

No particular opinion on the religion itself.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Negative. Science and religion are separate domains and they should both keep to their own.

Negative.  I haven't investigated enuf to know if it is Christian, but it certainly ain't Science.

What I've taken from the very little I've read on it is that it's basically what you get if you mix in New Age woo with Christianity.  Full disclosure: I mostly wanted to get BRTD's opinion on it because they believe in faith healing.

Can you define Christian Science, or provide a link defining it?

I voted Option 2. They promote forgoing actual medicine in favor of faith healing, which no church I've ever gone to would ever advocate.

The laughable state that YECers get themselves into with their whole "The earth is only 6,000 years old" shtick and the "God made some things look old, or rapidly changed rates of change, to deceive humanity and reveal who REALLY believes" line, and the whole "The flood split up panagea, and created 90% of the entire grand canyon, and created the appearance of magnetic changes, and made all our date methods be off by BILLIONS of years, and...." (the flood was global, but was tranquil in effect, or at least tranquil when compared to YEC assumptions of what it is/was capable of) thing is not science and should be called out for what it is: Utter stupidity. That being said, so is the Darwinist idea that humans are here solely through natural selection and luck. It is very clear that while Microevolution is a natural process, Macroevolution happens only through the direct command of god. Ultimately, the truth is that both Darwin and the YECers are wrong regarding the origins and early history of the earth, and the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

The intersection of science and religion is inevitable due to the bible directly contradicting the idea that the creation of the world, from beginning to end, happened fully through natural processes. NOMA is a joke that, when revealed for what it truly is, is shown to be nothing more than a phrase teachers use to make religious parents less mad when they accuse the teacher of teaching atheism to their child through instruction in the theory of evolution.

Don't know that much about it, but from what I've heard, negative.  Faith healing should not not take the place of real medicine.

They sound strangely Gnostic.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     It bothers me greatly that children can die of treatable diseases because their parents forgo medicine on religious grounds.

[DC Al Fine]

People are critiquing the science aspect, so I'll take a crack at the Christian side. Restorationism is a bad idea for a number of reasons, mainly that it tends to ignore 2000 years of history in favour of whatever the leader is spouting. Also:

They sound strangely Gnostic.

Wow, that's extremely out there.

Very common. Strange but true:
