"IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS NOTHING. WHICH EXPLODED."

I love that phrase. It's a notion I've heard trotted out as proof that science can't explain everything by those ignorant enough to think that science believes that it can explain everything. It's as misguided as the "they used to think the earth was flat" comment as to how science can be wrong. For once and for all - science, or specifically the scientific method, tries to present the best hypothesis ACCORDING TO CURRENT EVIDENCE. If new evidence comes to light that proves a hypothesis wrong good science accepts and amends accordingly. There's little point in arguing with those who present a scientific viewpoint, if you don't understand what a scientific viewpoint is.

To highlight this, I refer you to Prof Dawkins "The God Delusion". As probably the most outspoken and well known athiest in the UK, he talks about a scale of athiesm, from 1 to 9 where a devout believer is a 1, and an absolute non believer is a 9. Dawkins rates himself an 8. He's prepared to accept that evidence could come to light that proves his hypothesis that God is a man made delusion to be wrong.

Before I start this blog...

If you are offended if someone questions your beliefs PLEASE don't read this blog. I don't want to offend ANYONE. Please remember, I don't agree with the very notion of blasphemy, I don't hold any God or text to be "sacred". So it could well be that in my posts I might comment on God(s) or books that you hold in high regard in a negative way. If that sounds like it'll upset you, please read something else.

Ok then...
