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. what cult are you from? |

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" you might have a different copy of the text to mine, but i think that's the one you're looking for. |

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. |
