    A British mathematician, G N Watson , (of Whittacker and Watson fame, and editing the Ramanujan papers fame, etc) travelled to Edinburgh in August 1914 to collect an award for some work he had done, a day or two before the outbreak of the Great War. Later, in September 1939, he had to visit there a second time to give a talk at some conference, a couple of days before the Nazis invaded Poland.

    After that, he joked that he was reluctant to visit Scotland again, in case he started World War 3! (You'll be relieved to know he died in 1965.)

    Eat my non-believing arse.

    Think of how far we could have progressed if religion didn't control the brainwashed minions like Chico. Look at how far we've come in the last 50 years since free thinking became fashionable.

    God is as obsolete as edlin (no editor religious wars please).

    What's the deal with the eye then ? Surely that can have evolved from a bundle of light sensitive cells to a fully formed eye in half a billion odd years just like any other of natures creations ?

    Its seems interesting the most avowed "atheist" in the UK - Richard Dawkins was happy to accept there being a "cosmic intelligence" that was behind the origin of life, on the Heaven and Earth show this morning. His problem was the Biblical concepts of forgiveness, repentance and redemption. It shows that the issue at hand is not an intellectual one but a moral one. If the self styled "atheists" keep insisting that theists are somehow lacking in intelligence they only point to their own mental inadequacies.

    I must admit, having previously theorised that Chico must be living proof of the non-existence of God, I'm beginning to wonder if he doesn't also disprove Darwins theory of natural selection. Survival of the fittest? How the hell did Chico make it out of the gene pool?

    Now that does not compute!! And for those who can claim that there is no God, I would ask how would they know?
    Belief, I s'pose... I have faiththat there's nothing out there.

    We're on our own. If we c0ck it up, it's our fault. If we make a go of it, that's our fault too.

    Chico, do you mind?

    We were having a theological discussion before you so rudely interrupted.

    It really amazes me that so called logic and intellectual people can believe that the whole creation just appeared out of nothing!! If I said t my car just evolved of the nothing you would think I was barking mad but the same logic is applied is to the origin of life. Now that does not compute!! And for those who can claim that there is no God, I would ask how would they know? That is an absolute statement which would require the person having all knowledge about everything. They obviously do not. The real reason is that the self styled atheist does not want to countenance that there is a God because that would imply they would have to be subject to God's will. The atheists should do well to read Darwin's words.
