Almost forgot!
Two days ago was the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwins "On the Origin of the Species". Its not hugely easy to read in the original now, but the concepts described opened the door to challenge religion and develop as a secular planet.
Happy anniversary!
Evolution? It's only a theory. ;)
Darwin's just a poor man's Alfred Wallace. :wink:
I'm sure I'll get round to reading it eventually.

Nah, kinda unlikely, especially if enlightened cooncils like Dundee keep up the good work of de-religionising Christmas and the like. :wink:Quote:

But in the same vein, they are surely the best evidence for there being no creator, or at the very least there being a creator with one sick sense of humour or who did some of his creating with a b@atard of a hangover.Quote:
