I was scratching my head, but being a realist rather than an ideologist, scratching my arse at least has a purpose.

Funny how agreement can be phrased to look like contradiction?

If, as some imagine, atheist is the antithesis of theist, then that convenient label fails to take into account those who cross the street to avoid a beggar on their way to church or the Godless bloke caught loving his neighbour.

Reminds me of the sanctimonious berk I once worked with who pointed out that he gives to charitable causes because he is a Christian. I pointed out that I like red sauce on my egg butties because I am a football fan. He promised to pray for me so I offered to watch David Hirst score a goal for him.

Although it isn't quite so surreal to point out that our understanding of evolutionary biology evolves. Presumably through the work promoted by academics in that field. Lets see now.....
