Creation Moments

Jonathan Cotton: How superstitious are Christians? Results of a study next on today's Creation Moments. And now, here's our Creation Moment host, Ian Taylor.

Ian T. Taylor: Christians are often portrayed as foolish and superstitious. Various writers and commentators talk about Christianity as an outdated pre-scientific faith. Creationism has often been called pseudo or false science, but is it true that Christians are more given to superstition and pseudoscience than others in society? A study which carefully analyzed figures gathered by the US Census Bureau shows that accusations that conservative Bible-believing Christians are more prone towards superstition are completely wrong. The truth is just the opposite. The study shows that Bible-believing Christians are, in the report's words, most virtuous according to scientific standards when we examine cults and pseudoscience proliferating in our culture today.

The study also found that the most prone to cults and pseudoscience were the irreligious and the religious liberals. Now, stop and think for a moment. So-called fundamentalist or Bible-believing Christians almost always accept the Genesis account of creation. Yet, they are the least prone towards false science. We clearly see this principle in history. When biblical Christianity takes over among people, they have less interest in superstitions and cults, and creation is very much a part of that Christianity. Yes, Christ and the Gospel is the light of God in this dark world.
