  The Next Dumb Creationist Argument

  The latest creationist argument, courtesy of New Scientist

  "The mind is immaterial - you cannot touch it with your finger, the brain however is rather squishy. Scientific evidence shows that the immaterial mind can change the material brain (e.g. neuron firing). Therefore it must be magic."

  Where's the problem? Grrr...

  All Aboard the Atheist Bus

  Launched on Tuesday at Midnight, the Atheist Bus Appeal reached it's target for donations by 10am! It's now clocked up nearly 20 times that, in thousands of donations averaging £15.

  Atheist Bus Ad - There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.

  Personally, I'd have preferred "There are no gods", as referring to them in the singular seems to be raising monotheistic religions to some sort of privileged position. Then again, at least you can hear Thor...
