The worst for me was listening to a Bishop say that creationism and evolution are compatible - with Genesis apparently showing the course of evolution over seven days. So you see, it\'s nothing more than an argument about timescales really...

As always Richard I thank you. I really liked this quote in the New Scientist, and thought that many other Virians might like it too:
[quote]This has outraged many of the UK\'s most prominent scientists. Richard Dawkins, Oxford University\'s Professor of the Public Understanding of Science, said: \"Creation as literally depicted in Genesis is indeed supported by faith and needs to be, since it is not supported by anything else.\"
\"Evolution, on the other hand, is supported by evidence,\" he wrote in an editorial in The Guardian newspaper.[/quote]
