I agree with him, apart from the fact that I prefer churches to airports.

One way to disprove 'Intelligent Design' is to look at Stonehaven. The earliest creature ever to emerge from the sea hauled its gasping body across the beach at Cowie. Now, in the 428 million years since, evolution has managed to give us..... the Officer twins!!....what is 'intelligent' about that?????

(just joking, lads!!!!!)

I was trying to think of someone from Stonehaven.....it was a toss-up between you and bluesxman (or I could've used Copy Ha Ho).

fairplay, given the choice i'd have picked me and chris as well. bluesxman could probably rip your head off your body with his bare hands and copyhaho are too wee and nice to pick on like that.

Yep, that's what I was saying

cool....but you did tag that onto the end of your chat about your dad being a believer in creationism...so I wasn't sure what you were getting at!

there was a subtle inference that you still think that creationism is a credible answer to how life got here...but, the fact of the matter is, if you believe in crationism (as the bible states) - you can't waver on the age of the earth - remember "the bible is the truth" - you can not dispute it, if you are to buy into it. Where as science can only progress and become more understood through questioning and review!

I know which one makes more sense to me. (but that's the fundamental difference between science and religion - 'faith' or 'fact')

It's far more believeable that we grew out of chemicals zapped by electricity (proven in a lab - complex carbon chains forming from electrolysis) than some giant invisible (yet man shaped) magician that made everything as it is - as you see it today.

Did you see the documentry on BBC2 a couple of months back called "The End Of The World Bus Tour"?

Wonderland: The End of the World Bus Tour - Armageddon this way! - TV pick of the day for February 13th

very watchable and very disturbing.
