Comment #204195 by Philip1978 on July 4, 2008 at 11:16 am
Sharia Law?
I don't usually come across with this tone but I am quite sure they can fuck off if they want Sharia law in this country.
I have nothing but contempt for a law that allows for men to rape and beat women with impunity and for even the slightest act of what is deemed disobedience, the killing of apostates and those who do not adhere to the law. I have heard disgusting stories that quite frankly make me near to tears for what has happened to people living under sharia law.
We have laws in this country, we have a justice system, I hate to sound all pompous but if I was in Islamabad I would have to follow certain rules and regulations, if you come to the UK are you not subject to the laws of this land? Having those laws changed just so a small minority of religious lunatics can beat the crap out of their women does not seem like the way forward and I will not endorse it.

Damn, how did they survive that one?
In fact, why not just look at Mesopotamia at that time?
Sumer, Babylonian, Assyrian Empires as well, all having a massive scrap!. How the hell did they do that under so much water I ask you?

Roddy Bullock? Is that his name?! *falls on floor laughing far too much*
Well Shoddy Bollocks was probably out playing with the fairies when he regurgitated that load of tripe. I see that, like you, he has never bothered to pick up and properly read a book by an expert on evolution, he most certainly has not read Richard's book properly that much is certain.
Like you, he is is a wishful thinker, playing with the lottery of all the gods out there to arrogantly claim that his god is the one that did all the work.
That is nonsense, pure and utter tripe - if an absolute amateur like me can spot it, so can you! If you just remove the god goggles and read a proper book instead of that Bollocks you would understand too!

Here is a good question
If there was a global flood and it happened around 2348 BC, how come the Sixth Dynasty of Egyptian Pharaohs line does not stop?
Here be the names and dates just to help
Teti - 2345-2333 BC, Userkare - 2333-2332 BC, Pepi I Meryre- 2332-2283 BC, Merenre Nemtyemsaf-I 2283-2278 BC and so on
Now, if you look back through all the histories of the ancient civilisations you will find lines of kings or rulers etc that were not killed off during the time of the supposed flood. Don't you think that is just a little odd? Did Noah's family suddenly take up the thrones or something? How about all those populations that managed to skip getting wiped out too... I smell something fishy here and I am not just talking about the contents of clearmind's head!
Funny, there is a mention of a big flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh, but I am SURE the people writing the Bible would NEVER plagiarise anything from previous civilisations...would they?

That is dreadful! I remember feeling a little like you do now when the Mark Taunton debate ended. There we were having the most amazing conversation, evidence pouring in from both sides, evidence produced etc. the whole kitchen sink of history and archaeology was hurled at him proving his arguments to have errors in them. Then right near the end of it Mark turned around and said he still believed in a 10,000 year old Earth. Whilst I still have a lot of respect for Mark, one of the best people to chat to about religion and history, I just felt like you do now, let down.
Evolution will fall apart? Exactly how can he say that when the Bible is about as informative on evolution as I am on Quantum Mechanics?!

Any bloody excuse to get frothy, its so pathetic and yet people pander to it - Ohhhh Sorry Mr Muslim, didn't mean to take a photo of a dog!
The Muslims are having a laugh surely? I am sure they must be secretly laughing their arses off, "HAHAHAHA The Infidels fell for it again!"
I cannot see any other reason for it, it stirs up a load of fuss, the PC brigade goes into over-drive, thus giving them a platform to stand on and start on the new scaffolding.
Its like a spoilt child, once you start giving them everything they want their demands and tantrums increase - authority figures need to act like better parents, if the kid is misbehaving, causing a scene, you make sure you tell them the world does not revolve around them and they should learn better than that. I mean, there are parents on this site, what is the first thing you do when the kids are acting up?

Great post sir, I have always been impressed with your knowledge about Islam.
I have always thought that many have become underachievers because they become confused and disillusioned with what is going on around them.
The Qu'ran demanding one thing, that being repeatedly shoved down their throats and then they also see how the infidel lives - it must be very disorientating to say the least. How that can encourage integration and communities to come together is beyond me.
From what little I know of Pakistan, I understand it is an absolute mess out there, politics infused with a strict religion that allows no give or take publicly but also allows for hideous corruption to go on in the background.
Comparing it or using it as a model on which to base communities here in Britain is beyond dangerous and stupid. It simply could not work, Shari'a run communities would be in direct conflict with the laws set down in Britain. Setting up Faith Schools will only add to this conflict of law and I will never support it.
Anyways, enough wiffle, I am off to battle Satan! :)

Richard,
I think clearmind/wooter has been told at least 154 times that evolution by natural selection is not luck or random chance, getting him to read a book or comment by an educated man such as yourself or any poster on this site with even a modicum of an iota of a basic knowledge of evolution will not work!
Desperate attempts from the most educated individuals that grace this site have failed to convince him about evolution and how it works - he still insists even now that the eye has not evolved for Zark's sake!
Oh well, bravo on your performance on Dr Who, I will get back to my Richard Dawkins altar and pray that one day your Words will get through to clearmind... oops Niel Crafford, looks like my secret is out..dammit! :)

This guys sounds like such a cool chap, great logic, here is advice on what to do if you get bitten!
'Can't stand all these poisonous creatures, all these snakes and insects and fish and things. Wretched things, biting everybody. And then people expect me to tell them what to do about it. I'll tell them what to do. Don't get bitten in the first place. That's the answer. I've had enough of telling people all the time.
Well, don't get bitten, that's all I can say. And don't come running to me if you do because you won't get here in time

I have read bits of that debate, it is more than shocking, it scares me a little!
How does one even BEGIN to use the scriptures to explain something like string theory or quantum mechanics?
Genesis 1 - from The New International Version
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

I too wish theists would develop this sort of enthusiasm for knowledge, the awe is the equivalent of that "Cooooor blimey! experience you get when things make more sense after proper explanation!
Religion has nothing to compare to this, most of it being regurgitated nonsense in the first place - your education of it has to stop in the end because knowing the mind of your deity is like teaching Wooter the most basic concepts of evolution, a completely bloody stupid waste of time! :)
Knowledge of a thing like expansion of the universe that you can, by using the most formidable, highly intelligent methods available to mankind and managing to understand even the slightest iota of it is trillions of times better than something you have to MAKE UP to NEVER understand!

I also would like to express my sheer amazement at the speed of light being slower than the expanding universe, that's pretty bloody fast!
So I take it Einstein was wrong when he said nothing can travel faster than light or have I completely ballsed that up?
A very quick (and poorly done) internet search says that there is a "cosmic speed limit" 300 000 km s-1, are Steven Hawking and co saying the universe is faster?

Comment #201741 by Philip1978 on June 30, 2008 at 7:54 am
Normally the Telegraph writes out some thought provoking articles but this is utter drivel!
There is no "Father of Atheism", I would have thought that should be one thing that is abundantly clear. There were many atheists before Darwin became one!
What Darwin has done for atheism, if anything, was to provide people with a starting point for a clearer explanation of how life evolved over millions of generations on this planet.
This article makes it look like Richard Dawkins & co have somehow put Darwin on some ridiculous pedestal - almost like worship.
NO, the reason why we are celebrating Darwin's achievements is because of his contribution to science, his work helped raise people's conciousness about evolution. The world has a lot to thank Darwin for and good on them for doing it.
I for one will be raising a hefty cup of Tea and making a general fuss about it, I promise!

Fuck it, I am going to ask you a very simple question because I am highly annoyed with you.
How did Professor Richard Dawkins get his credentials? Do you think a man of his intellect and prowess suddenly made all this shit up on the fly, you know, the first thing that came into his head?
How about a little closer to home, if this offends you Steve I will promise to apologise for anything I get wrong here.
Dr Steve Zara is an expert. He has studied his subject for more years than I have been alive (please don't hit me I am still 29 until August!)
He has taught what he knows and I am damn sure he studies things VERY well. You ask him about a varying number of subjects and Steve is the sort of man to think before he types and THINK he does. Another thing I know is that he is not arrogant enough to admit when he doesn't know something or when he is wrong, a trait you could do well to acquire.
I do not wish to kiss this mans arse, for one thing his husband might kill me, but he is not my god or my hero - very simply put he is an in incredibly intelligent man!
So Clearmind, you think you can take the intellect of Steve on? You got the knowledge? You have the education and commitment? Don't tell me the Bible has better knowledge because I can provide countless examples where its knowledge is totally worthless. That's how good a historian I profess to be, if I am wrong, please fire at will.
Dr Steve Zara and Professor Richard Dawkins are just two of along list of people who have had an inspiration into my learning of evolution. I can write a whole list of the most intelligent people I have ever read on this site and I mean it. People on this site have studied, what you have done is guessed, assumed and arrogantly postulated
