That's probably straying from the subject somewhat, but I think most scientists these days would say that the maths would support the very probable existence of life on other planets - "intelligent" life as such is a much harder thing, and would not be supported with any great probability at the...

So, a caveman cooking over a fire is "science" ?? By your reckoning every single death, accident or mishap is down to science

I only had to read one sentence to know that was complete and utter rubbish. My disbelief is nothing to do with sin (whatever that is supposed to mean), it's based on my belief that absolutely nothing in my 48 years is attractive or real about religion, and I just cannot understand why anybody...

I would like to say the sooner the better .... unfortunately the basic psychology of the human is to bond to others through whatever you have in common. The upshot of this is by forming any group, whether it be by colour, race, religion, hair-colour, football team, the process of inclusion...

I would dispute that for many children brought up in a religious household, believing is not really a choice and tantamount to child abuse in my view.

I like what Dara O'Briain says, to paraphrase .... "Science doesn't know everything .... science knows it doesn't know everything otherwise it would stop. Just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever rubbish you choose to."
