That is possibly true - but that is not going to endear to people who are stuggling with their faith or are currently unbeleivers. Also if that was the case there would be no atheists.

Having wrestled with Atheism on numerous occasions, I would be lying if I said I don't sometimes empathize with some arguements posed against God's existence or Christianity's truthfulness. I obviously don't think people ought to reject Christianity, but in some cases I understand why some people do.

I think that after experiencing God directly though, He is absolutely irresitable and non-rejectable. :P

Yes.. The point I'm trying to make here however is when you boil it all down, I don't see any reason why anyone would reject the God of the Bible. Science can't refute God, philosophies, God's love, etc... When you examine all the perspectives there really is no reason to reject Him.

The realm of agnostics goes far beyond proud scientists, it's kind of insulting to act like God is just hanging around all the time and I'm stubbornly telling him to go away. If I really am blind to God, then the issue is much more complex than you give it credit for being.

I think it's more so people that do reject God, want to reject God. If you try something new, but in your mind you keep telling yourself you won't like it, you won't like it.

Some people have no mental dicipline, it is hard work to become a true christian and sadly the youth now love weed ,sex, and drunk partys instead of the good word of god.

There is no reason to reject the God of the Bible.
Selfish pride might be one reason; a theology based on statements like this might be another.

Some Scientists give themselves to much credit and it expands their already over inflated egos thus causing them to assume they know everything.

What, one man's statement is reason to reject God? If we are talking about reason, in every sense of the word, then Gman is pretty close to the mark.

While it might not be a good reason to reject god, a minoritys statments can scare others away from the majority of that group.

A great example of this is WBC, I have had plenty of agnostics use them as a reason for not being christian.

Westboro babtist Church, aka, all are condemed to eternal hell fire if they do not take an extreme stance against homosexuality and any pastor that teaches the bible any other way is a lieing false Prophet who has doomed their entire church to hell.

This group is a dengerous cult and gives christianity a bad rap...

Bible says to mark those that cause divisions and stay clear of them...
