What purpose would a Christian have to site a stat when most statistics are born using the scientific method?

Statistically speaking here, what reason would there be for the Christian to "label" and use a "stat?" Wouldn't that be contradictory to their beliefs about Science?|||The same reason any superstitious person would, say, use a computer, or live in a house, or wear clothes.





People are willing to accept that the world works through natural laws, and reap the benefit of the study of those laws, until such a time as that method imposes on their preconceived notions.








Addendum: And even *then*, people are still more than happy to reap scientific benefits, even if they deny the validity of the method by which those benefits were produced.





I mean, you think Creationists don't get flu shots?|||since WHEN did Christians not believe in science? generalize much?|||Are you unaware of the current expose of distorted statistics that scientists used to support their adamant claim that human CO2 emmissions are responsible for global warming? Have you never heard of scientists having vested interests? Are you unaware that Christians have long had a healthy scepticism when it comes to scientists presenting statistics to prove certain theories? Would you not expect them to point to scientific stats that challenge some of those cherished theories? Or are you so wet around the ears that you believe all scientific stats are gospel truth?





(P.S. It should be 'cite' not 'site'.)|||They believe and accept science, as long as it's not against their religion, for the most part.|||Most Christians that I know believe in science. That does not mean however that they believe that science has always reached the correct conclusion when looking at the data collected. This fact is born out by the many changes that have taken place in the scientific fields over the past century for example. Many things that were believed to be true scientifically a hundred years ago are known to be false today. Science changes daily. If it didn't, we would still be living in the dark ages and I can assure you that a thousand years from now (providing we are still here), the scientists of that day will consider us living in the dark ages today. Statistics can change depending on ones viewpoint of what they mean...so it is all really just a matter of opinions.|||There is a difference between science and the scientific naturalist worldview. Christians only have a problem with the second.
