My previous statement was purely a comment on faith - not on any of the suppositions put forward in the opening thread.

1. From the little I know of the Schiavo case I doubt that there is any chance of recovery and it is clear that her attending physicians are of this opinion, otherwise would they allow the tubes to be removed? This subject is being addressed on a number of other threads.

2. I don't believe the earth is flat and didn't before the photos came in from space.

3. Flat beer tastes lousy.

4. Who can tell whether the Pope is fat under all those robes?

5. 'Believe in me'? I do not follow the Christian faith and so this statement means nothing to me and yes, I did go to Sunday school as a child.
