Well there's the fact that the bible is pretty clear that the Earth is 7,000 years old vs science's billions of years teaching. The idea that 40 days of rain would completely cover the Earth's surface, that 2 of each creature on Earth could fit on a boat, that a man can be raised from the dead, that all humans were one race speaking one language until the tower of Babel, that a tower could actually reach the heavens, etc.

There's quite a bit there that disagrees with science. Heck, if every animal that ever existed was created at once, that means that man and dinosaur walked the either together. It's been my experience in dealing with Christian kids that that they react very poorly to these sort of suggestions. A sort of shocked anger that their beliefs have been challenged.

With that in mind, do you think that a modern Christian kid is at a disadvantage in the modern educational system? High schools tend to be more open minded out of fear of law suit, but an institute of higher learning would probably flunk a kid for writing about these beliefs for a paper.

Also, what are your thoughts on a salaried pastor. Since Christ gave his knowledge for free, do you think making pastor a paid position is a problem?
