There's an answer for everything it seems to explain the glaring holes.


Each one more incredible than the next.

Yes it is.

I'd be troubled if you genuinely believe that I, or anyone else, could answer this in one post. Theologians and philosophers, among them some of the keenest minds ever to think thoughts on Earth, have been discussing this for as long as anyone can say. If you have a genuine interest in the answers to these questions - above and beyond the obtaining of another soundbite - then you have access to Google anf Wikipedia. Go and read up. It should keep you busy for years.

So without evidence you simply make statements of fact about a God you concede to have never met or know anything about in any real way(other than what you have been told?)

Just because you can tell a story explaining how something might have happened, does not mean that it happened that way. Richard Dawkins, incidentally, who wrote The Blind Watchmaker (which was a book many years before it was a TV documentary by the way), is what you might call an evangelical atheist. He has an agenda that many perfectly respectable evolutionary scientists are uncomfortable about. So pardon me if I don't take it as gospel just because you saw it on the telly, especially not if Dawkins was behind it in any way.

Really? Richard Dawkins was in that? And he wrote a book by the same name? I thought it was Russell Harty in a pair of tight shorts. He has an agenda? Is it to tell the world that religion is a load of old cack and actually causes most of our problems? Shame on him for telling the truth
