- Is Steve trying to suggest that most ordinary people are rather ignorant and not as well educated as your average, intellectually superior Have Your Say-er? Or does Steve inhabit a world where he has acsended the status of mere mortal and now deigns to spout his wisdom via an ethereal presence on Have Your Say and recommended by his 12 disciples?


"Dariin proves (not intentionally) what a waste of space religion is and what utter fools any one is who believes in creationism"

- Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Darwins work called The Origin of Species, and not The Origin of Life, The Universe and Everything in it?

Still... biology, theology ...it's all the bleedin 'same innit?!


"It is amazing to me that such an obvious process as evolution went unnoticed for so many centauries. Maybe Darwin’s greatest legacy is the proof that religious dogma retards progress."

- I know what you mean Wardster, that whole E=MC2 thing had everyone guessing for a while too. It's the local Bishops fault if you ask me!
