I've just logged onto BBella's latest post: "I can prove whatever I choose to believe with whatever I choose as evidence to prove it with." Exactly! Among our contributors, though, David and George have examined the scientific evidence before them and have simply come to opposite conclusions. I think there are many people who genuinely approach the God question with an open mind (Edinburgh4 says he started out as an agnostic) and find an answer that satisfies them. Once the decision is taken, the BBella process sets in. This may even be my own case. Perhaps deep down, confronted by so much evidence for so many theories, I have chosen to believe that it won't be possible for me to form a belief. But of course I'm not even sure about that! - This is an interestng comment from the Guardian quoting Lord Winston attacking Dawkins: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2008/sep/12/robert.winston To my mind Dawkins deserves all the criticism he gets.
