To some extent I agree. However there are some interesting cases. In 1940 UK should have been invaded by the Nazis but against all odds survived after the Church of England, King George VI & Winston Churchill united in calling the nation to a day of prayer in May of that year. In 2007 I was in...

Wow. I can't believe the number of people here trotting out the same thing that prophecy etc was just for the initial period of the New Testament to get the church started. Just where does it say that in Scripture? Truth is it says exactly the opposite ... "As for prophecies, they will pass...

To be honest there has been a fair amount of deception on both sides. Some in favor of 'Remain' tried to scare the public with stories of global recession, collapse of the UK economy, millions out of work and even war. Obviously there is some uncertainty and that is effecting the markets but as...

Which at the end of the day is a set of man made rules and NOT Holy Writ. The people who made it were mere mortals not angels or anything else, just ordinary men voted into place just like any other politician. They had no God given insight unavailable to other mortals and neither they nor the...

Sorry Bethany but to refer to people who want out of EU as Nazis is totally out of order as well as inaccurate. In 1975 when we last had a referendum it was the Labour party that was divided with many on the left wanting out. Jeremy Corbyn wanted out as recently as last summer and even...

I think it's a bit more than a "blunder". Truth is the Labour party as it now stands is run by a man who refers to, "our friends in Hamas", has accepted donations from dubious sources, refused to condemn people who've made antisemitic comments at rallies he's attended and because of this he's...

I don't live anywhere near London so it's not really an issue for me. That said whilst I don't share Sadiq Khan's political viewpoint I think he seems a very reasonable person and I'm sure his religious views will be no hindrance to him doing his very best in the role. I was particularly pleased...

And this is fundamentally the problem and the key difference between the United States of America and the intended United States of Europe that the EU aims to become. The American constitution importantly starts out with "We the people" explicitly declaring that government should always be there...

I think you've raised some interesting points and having some Scottish family I've thought about it myself a few times albeit from the angle that I can't understand how SNP wants to be independent from UK but still part of EU. Surely if you think it's an anathema to be ruled from London then it...

Frankly this video is totally misleading and irrelevant as it relates to ECHR NOT EU. Iceland, Russia, Norway & Switzerland have all signed ECHR without being members of EU and there's no reason why UK couldn't do the same. Also the video gives the impression that ECHR is responsible for UK...

And who's to say we wouldn't have had those things anyway (incidentally the Equal Pay Act came in in 1970 before we joined EU). But it's ultimately not about that. The big question is this: Do you want to live in a democracy where you get to chose who runs the country and you can vote them out...

Firstly to presume that the EU will stop dealing with UK post Brexit is just scaremongering. Norway & Switzerland both trade happily with the EU without being members (as do other countries) so why can't we? Also we import more from EU than we export to EU so why do you think EU would want to...

For me it's all about democracy. There is a democratically elected European Parliament (I personally know someone who is a member) but laws and policy are all set by the European Commission which is made up of bureaucrats appointed by ministers from the various countries within the EU. The...

Sadly you're absolutely right. I was totally blessed to go to Glasgow, in Scotland, when some of the Dead Sea Scrolls were exhibited there in 1998. The centre piece of the exhibition was a scroll which contained about a third of the book of Psalms and was dated at about 2,000 years old. As I was...

At the risk of being one of those who takes words out of context I'd be interested to know how this should be interpreted ... "The Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy...

The population of USA was quite low prior to 1900s and a great percentage (if not the majority) of US citizens since independence are those alive today. If you claim that 100s of millions have been save by "gun wielding citizens" then that still leaves practically every other citizen in the US...

Have you any evidence for any of this? Gun crime has actually cost more lives in the last 10 years than all the wars US has been involved in throughout it's entire history. You say hundreds of millions of lives have been saved - The current population is only 320 million! That would mean that at...

That's a fair few might have, could have, possiblies, etc which is the point that I was trying to make. Water on Mars may be significant it may not. Life might be common it might not. Until you have a concrete answer to the question just how did life emerge from non-living matter then it's...

Yes I do thank you very much. Problem is you seem to want to argue about words whilst avoiding the main point of my original argument, which was ... Finding water means nothing until you really know (as opposed to having a theory, hypothesis, whatever word you choose) how non-living matter...

Really? Can you please send me a reliable link to where scientists have proven, definitely, irrefutably and beyond all reasonable doubt just how non-living matter became living matter?
