Yes, tell him to study his bible Abigail. I think he should be pressured to read the bible whether he wants to or not because it's good for him. What do you think?

I want to help Chris study the bible as well. I just bought myself some aviator sunglasses and a compound in Guyana that we can all use to study religion. It was dirt cheap too! Apparently there is a bit of bad history attached to the land, but i think if we pray over it god will smite any lingering evil spirits.

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

Well, my goodness!!!

You must be a troll. I've never heard anything so obviously provoking.

I REFUTE WHAT YOU SAY WITH FACTS - NOT OPINION

Children: Three (and one grandchild)

Qualifications: He obtained a First Class Honours Degree in Natural Science from University College Oxford and then went on to Cambridge to conduct research in Cosmology.

Well, Stephen Hawking is no saint....but he is an absolute brainbox.....and I am amazed by him.....

He has nothing.....and everything. I don't think I would have sprung to the defence of anyone else in history....

Clever troll that!!

Looks like Greg is a troll. All of his posts don't make much sense. I seriously doubt he's an atheist. He claims he is in one of his posts.

Well, I gave you list of why I didn't agree with you - facts about Stephen Hawking's achievements.

You just released a tirade of abuse.....a cruel tirade under the circumstances.

So, if you aren't a troll, you must be...let's say, a little bit disturbed.
