I'm sure it was Magic Steve, fair play.

The Goofus's of this world have another definition of magic though.

The snag is, the supernatural attributes of the bible references to the big JC were nicked in Jeffrey Archer fashion from Mithras and other superstitions.

Dan asks, quite reasonably why the mocking of religion is doing the rounds in this thread. It's because some on here are trying to splice it into reality and the thread title itself, attempting to dumb down science to the paltry level of theological reasoning, and you know, that's not only insulting but has held back research and progress ever since we started thinking further than the next hunting trip.

It's only through dismissing nonsense that the wonderful and exciting discoveries of our universe have been able to develop.   The real universe is far more exciting, wondrous and thought provoking than the dismal limited visions found in religion. Some on here would have children hampered by seeing the make believe at the equal level of reality.

It isn't only insulting and dangerous, but must be embarrassing for normal people who happen to feel comfortable with aspects of faith.

Mind you, it's rather fucking hilarious reading Goofus saying that rational people have closed minds....
