you have to remember that there is going to be a proportion of the viewers,
sitting watching this with their fingers crossed, who do actually need this
stuff spelling out to them.
gullible and foolish as they may be, doesn't mean they should be denied help.

brygdom:
what about your gaping chasm of assumption that there exists some giant bearded
pixie in the sky, that no-one can see, unless of course he appears as some form
of immolated shrub, or that most revered of holy relics: the toasted cheese
sandwich.
i notice, while you are quick to dispel the notion that all of existence is a
mere 6000 years old; no mention of the big bang, a universal age span of 13.5
billion years or dinosaur remains which can be proven, by repeated testing, to
be in excess of 65 million years old.
quite an exceptional view up on that fence, isn't it?
there are none so blind as those who refuse to open their eyes.

brygdom,
i see the dance lessons are going spectacularly well. your ability to skip and
frolic through an argument without landing on a single point is almost breathtaking.
one slight criticism, if i may; taking the question on the existence of a higher
power and concentrating on the beard. i feel that if you made the effort you
really could be more pedantic.
maybe you could take up lessons with a new class where there are fewer false
teachers and speakers of untruths?

i'd just like to see occam's razor applied to the concept of the "multiverse",
talk about your belief in the unseen!
oh come on some one had to be the voice of dissent in this forum, you guys are
tripping over yourselves to agree with each other.
while it doesn't make any sense to argue about whether 1+1=2, i don't believe
science is served well by everyone agreeing with each other in an effort to
defeat the common enemy (i.e. christian).
i think the most interesting science shows i have seen lately have been the
ones that are not afraid to talk about the limitations of bigbang/evol'.
the "power of the planet" by bbc was good hinting about the weak anthropic
principle. it's a lot better than the crap you sometimes get on discovery.
sorry for any yanks listening but your documentaries usually suck compared to
the brits.

the multiverse? straying somewhat out of the realms of darwins particular field
of research aren't we?
jquin didn't aim this at me specifically, and so i'll try to respond in kind.
as an atheistic heathen i consider all religion to be not only wrong but, in
fact, a tool of evil.
byrgdom speaks of "false teachers" and "repeating untruths", but are you
encouraged to open yourself up to a broad spectrum of potential knowledge, bask
in all that science and theology has to offer?
no. you are directed specifically to the bible, apparently people of learning,
those who know of that of which they speak, for example richard dawkins (oh yeah get
dooowwwnnnn! with the big r!!!!), are to be shunned.
the blatant implication being that the bible is the receptacle of all knowledge
and moral guidance of any worth.
complete and utter fucking head-the-balls, or "the righteous" as they prefer to
be known will ignore some questions, answer others in kind or try to persuade
you that you, somehow, have managed to ask the wrong question.
now i'm not going to champion science for it's own sake; a hypothesis is just
that as is a postulation. without proof i.e. evidence born of repeatable
experimentation, or provable posterity i, like other seekers of truth will stand
and watch with wide eyed anticipation and a healthy dose of scepticism, but come on!
existence, in its entirety revolving on magic?
come on you lhc!!!
edit:
i forgot to mention. i suspect brygdom of grooming for any number of cults so.
you know, you might wanna get the fuck outta here before you get sucked in!
run, your keyboard's comin' to get ya!!!!

actually the 'many worlds hypothesis' and the 'quantum vacuum' are just as
damaging to the notion of a supreme being as darwin if not more so. after all
one offers that every outcome of a decision you make exists, so there
are 'good' versions of you and 'bad' versions, making free will an irrelvance.
the latter suggests the energy can just appear out of nowhere and has been
confirmed by observation and experiment, meaning that the big bang really
could occur spontaneously, so no arguments about where it came from.

again straying wildly from the actual point in discussion.
if you have to answer a question, answer with another question.
if you can't dazzle them with diamonds, baffle them with bullshit.
persuade them that no one else will understand their pain/love/suffering.
divide and conquer.
the only irrelevance (seriously, hath the lord not furnished you with a spell
check function?) here is you.

i think it was:
"yeeaahhh as walked through the valley
of the shadow of death
i shall fear no evil
'cos i was that fucked up
that i just pointed at things
and laughed like a drain
and so all the little devils
ran away, and named me stonner
which in glaswegian means erection"

not forgetting the revelations of saint john:
"and low, did i neck a shit load of shrooms,
then rode forth this huge fuckin' whore,
how much do i love this island,
i'm definitely doing greece for my holidays again next year"
in the name of the cider, the lager and the holy spirit. get down with your bad
self.
