I didn't think this was a Christian-bashing thread. I still don't think it is. Christians (most of the ones I know, anyway) have senses of humour/fun/the ridiculous; and besides, as Christian-bashing goes, it beats being thrown to the lions. I refuse to get involved in any God-created-the-world-in-six-days-including-the-fossils arguments.

Susan, I consider you my friend and fellow 'Catter, and I hope you think of me in the same way, even though I don't share your faith. I'm an agnostic, not because I can't be bothered to think seriously about it, but because I do.

As a matter of fact, I've always been tempted to go over the Bishop's figures to see whether he was correct in his conclusion. I never seem to have the time.
