Let me belatedly join the welcoming chorus of approval at George's comeback! Combative, provocative and informative as ever. The jesusneverexisted website packs a mighty powerful punch, and I'll be interested to hear what Tony (Balance_Maintained) thinks of it.-I'd love to know a little more about the star dust we're made of, for which there is "overwhelming evidence". In particular, does it have all the properties needed to spontaneously and unconsciously create the mechanism for life and evolution?-In your absence, we've been told that God is "organized energy", and I thought an atheist would agree that everything is organized energy, but not that organized energy is God. The question is whether organized energy is conscious of itself, or organizes itself through the unconscious laws of Nature. Can we apply the same argument to star dust? -You say rather ominously that you "may not be here for long". I trust you're referring to the forum and not to Planet Earth, but either way I hope you'll stay with us for a very long time.
