    P.S. my daughter goes to a Christian school and they teach evolution without any challenge.
    We have disagreed before and will disagree on many things in the future I'm sure but I absolutely agree with you on this one. Some of these guys are fundamentalist atheists!!

    Sorry I thought you had generalised it out by your previous comments.

    My view is that there is probably some kind of greater force or 'god' if you like (or else what is it that started science, what made the big bang bang, where did the first bit of energy come from or the first piece of matter?)

    However, to believe in a particular religion, constructed by humans to try and explain this greater force is silly in my opinion. We are just humans, with limited intelligence... whatever it is that "runs the world" is far more complex than we are... so I doubt we'll ever explain it, and it seems ludicrously self centred to suggest that god is some kind of humanoid with the same set of emotions and thoughts as us (as many religions do)

    I guess dolphins have ideas about god being a dolphin too? And they're arguably more intelligent than us so maybe theyre closer to the truth!

    Humans trying to explain the universe is like ants trying to analyse the stock market. It ain't gonna happen.
