Oct 6, 2007 - PERFECT RESPONSE! Sorry for the all-caps; I generally don't do that.

Oct 7, 2007 - Thankyou Dawkins. You would have been a truly great prophet if you had lived 2000 years ago. And the world would have been a much better place as a result.

Oct 9, 2007 - perhaps the question would be, what does it mean intelligent? using demagoguery and fooling people, just like "dr" hovind, and achieving specific goals, just like earning a living with such and similar methods, could still be described as intelligent. perhaps viciously intelligent. (crime doesnt pay off, "dr" hovind is serving his sentence). cheers ;-) p.s. nevertheless, dr. dawkins is an "eye-opener".

Oct 13, 2007 - Actually, the punishment will be proportional to the number of Olympian gods that we don't believe. If believe them in them all - you get a cookie. If you believe in none - its eternal damnation. Its safer to believe in at least one. I picked Aphrodite, and this is where I make my stand. Plus she is cute.
