: Exactly. I have no problems with people who say there is a God; I do not know one way or the other; indeed, I cannot know to any reasonably objective standard.

: However, when people use a self-contradictory text like the Bible to try and deny the measurable and observable, like evolution, I start to see red; deliberate short-sightedness annoys me.

: And when they try teaching such abuses of logic as 'fact', I go on the warpath.

And I couldn't blame you for one second ;)!!

This guy in Belfast gave my mate a creationist leaflet the other day that suggested that the creationist account was correct because the banana was purpose made for the human hand!?!! He's a bit quite and didn't take him up on it but I would have definitely, I think it's insulting to the intellect and gives Christianity, faith and religion in general, a bad reputation as a bunch of nutbars.

It should be fought every foot of the way too because I've read in detail the accounts of the row the catholic Church had with Galilao and I hope that the flat earth nonsense and anti-science sentiment never ever becomes prevailent again.

God Will it;)
