Then I think you are naive to put your faith in science without accepting there could be other alternative explanations.

There are no spiritual side effects.

The question was is their a god. You are cherry picking.

In my experience most people with a strong faith enjoy a strong sense of contenetment especially in bad times.

I love it! 'A traditional God' - what is he a bit old fashioned? I am not sure I have read that anybody is defending creationalism or resurrection (although I am sure it is possible); I find it a shallow assertion to blindly believe in today's science without thinking out of the box. Are you not capable of thinking without picking up a copy of new science magasine?

Well I think generally the theme of these thread is that people are ramming down the throats of people that there is not a God. People's faith is generally very important to them and ridicule is pretty offensive. By the way a slug does not love. Oh and Darwin who created the evolution theory was not an atheist.

Again you are looking at this too scientifically. Laws of physics change. As I have said before, life is such a miracle that you cannot just rule out God. Now have you ever done a Ouija board? I have (albeit a long time ago)? there is no way that science explains how this works, and it does. I am totally open to explanations as I am with ghosts. I have encountered people that swear blind that they have experienced ghostly activities; normal people no less (my wife is one). In fact if I think about it, so have I but I have always just assumed there is an explanation for them as you would seem to do. I am a rational person. If you are going to debate the issue of God you should also address the issue of ghosts.

I am surprised that such an intellectual heavyweight has failed to address the spiritual element of believing in God. Why do people who have such a strong faith have such a feeling of cententment. What about the Toronto blessing?

Clearly demonstrating an indepth knowledge of the Christian faith. The old boy is 89 so I suspect that his judgement day will not be too far away anyway. Do you do jokes on other faiths. Thought not you are bound by your political correctness.

I was at that game as a nipper. I think we drew 2-2

You clearly also fail to grasp the concept of faith. I have a lot of questions like Thomas but am certainly not going restrict myself to the boundaries of what scientists believe at this point in time. In thirty years time they will no doubt have expanded on their theories which for all you no may make it more likely there is a God. Life is a miracle and that is why I believe there is a God. I also respect Christian values even if I am not sure I will be in the mix on judgement day.

I am not having to prove anything. You do not understand the concept of faith.

Eloquently put.

Science changes God does not.

So how would you go about disproving the existance of Jesus?

As a rule I find the people who believe in God are more contented that those that do not. Despite having a lot of questions I think it is more likely that there is a God than there is not. Life is just too much of a miracle to be explained by science. The big conundrum for me has always been being accepted into Heaven which is a wonderful place but how can it be so wonderful if so many of the people that I know are not allowed in. Put simply I would not really know anyone there.

I think a suicide pack (ropes, razors, pills etc) should be put in the cells of certain offenders. Ian Brady, Rose West, Huntley, Levi Bellfield etc; they can then do us all a favour

If I understand you right it is a bit like saying we can't play football because the referee is ****e

Delldays there is a milk on the market - they milk cows when they are about to doze off and it has a high content of something that makes you sleep. Give it a try.

Its a quite simple equation. The punishment should outweigh the crime. As for the death penalty I have concluded that certain offenders should swing. How can anyone argue that the bloke that murdered Milly Downer if found guilty should not be hanged.

If you saw her you would probably go down the eye for an eye route.

Oh dear Vicky Pryce was nowhere near Essex on the day of the offence. Just have to see whether she received three points in Essex on the day she was addressing an LSE conference miles away.

Shocking people at FIFA. We have known for years.

The Kings Head Hursley is class

Its better than a lot and the Dell did sometimes go quiet. Still miss the Dell though
