    has anyone seen a snake eating dust?

    It was Juvenissun, iirc. I'm worried about how much of my brain space I'm wasting remembering these things.

    The last nail in the coffin of Intelligent Design

    The analogy of god as a very large person wearing a garment with a hem explains absolutely nothing of interest about your particular god-concept. Your attempt to relate it to very tall people was absurd. Unless, of course, you are suggesting that your god being a really tall humaoid is somehow...

    When I raised the issue of Academy schools, which receive public funding, teaching Creationism as science with my MP and the then Secretary of State for Education, I got a mealy-mouthed, evasive reply that didn't even acknowledge that it's a problem. My follow up, an attempt to find out what my...

    Ape to Man, baby!

    Eccles? Is this the gospel according to Spike Milligan? I love the way Av will pat anyone on the back, even if their ramblings don't conform to his own bizarre rationalisations, just as long as they appear to be anti-science. <staff edit>

    Ask a former creationist

    Depends how you define harm. Personally I think he's probably doing a lot of good by demonstrating the total intellectual bankruptcy of so-called Bible literalism. Over and over again.

    I don't think you're right that your ideas fit with science, or that any evidence supports your split dating, but I think that's been addressed at length elsewhere. As to the notion that everyone could accept salvation now if they wanted to, that says nothing about all the people who've...

    OK, if you like. I was just interested in how Dad would try to explain.

    Thanks for replying to my questions, it's very civil of you. I still don't understand why so many people have to suffer and/or be damned for eternity, or are you saying the damned are a lesson for other beings in the future state, so they won't rebel for fear of ending up the same way? Why...

    I was referring to the third state of matter - #1 was before the fall, #2 is the current PO state, #3 is the forever state of the future. Have I got that wrong? You haven't answered my point about why God would set up an experiment that he already knew the outcome of with 100% certainty. An...

    When I was asking you before about why God didn't just make the incorruptible state from the start, you said what's quoted above. At the time I think I missed an important point. You appear to believe that your God, who you say is omniscient and omnipotent, decided to conduct an "experiment"...

    For once, he's actually got a point. The main reason for reading it is cheese related. (Don't expect any illumination on how Dad's bizarre fantasies are linked to either the Bible or reality though.)

    Some humour...maybe?

    No joke, but I chose my user name from that Monty Python sketch! Eric, being such a 'appy cat, was a piece of cake! XX

    Are you saying there's no free will in the future state? You haven't really answered my question about why god didn't just make the future state you believe in from the start. You said he did, but it was corrupted by people (or one person, anyway). If the state could be corrupted then, why...

    The state wasn't incorruptible then, was it? In the future state, could a person (or whatever term you use in the new state to refer to individuals that are people in the current state) cause corruption again? If not, why not?

    Why didn't god just make the incorruptible forever state from the off and save a lot of heartache? Or is the present PO state intended to ensure there are plenty of suffering, burning sinners to provide entertainment for the righteous when having sex with movie stars gets old?
