Interesting article on-line today,

how churches are 'losing' the younger generation, because the church is out of touch in many areas that young people deem important.

One of the reasons young adults feel disconnected from church or from faith is the tension they feel between Christianity and science. The most common of the perceptions in this arena is "Christians are too confident they know all the answers" (35%). Three out of ten young adults with a Christian background feel that "churches are out of step with the scientific world we live in" (29%). Another one-quarter embrace the perception that "Christianity is anti-science" (25%). And nearly the same proportion (23%) said they have "been turned off by the creation-versus-evolution debate." Furthermore, the research shows that many science-minded young Christians are struggling to find ways of staying faithful to their beliefs and to their professional calling in science-related industries.

Pretty easy to see, as the church sticks with creationism and a 6000 year old earth, in spite of all the scientific evidence that says otherwise, as well as their views on homosexuality and a literal hell, which makes them not believable, for new generations, who actually read and believe scientific facts.
