exactly, eeyore is saying what i'm saying. dawkin's was very unfair, and i don't agree with his approach, but should that let you stoop to that level?
and i think i should probably exit now, like dan, before i say something i'll really regret later.

I don't like Dawkins one bit, I don't like anyone who preaches openly and in public and acts like you must be an idiot if you don't agree regardless of belief or calling....... |

just a reminder to keep things civil folks. Most have managed to but the contentious nature of the subject inevitably means some individuals get rather riled. So let's try to keep the debate as polite as possible.

Evolution is 150 years old this year and has had vastly more attempts made to refute it than any other theory in the history of science but it still stands. Not only that but the mountain of facts upon which it stands just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

This is serious suggestion!

Jim | Yes, a suggestion that I've given before - but I don't think it's going to happen unfortunately.
