Now there’s nothing like a day in the open air to get the old grey matter working.
We’ve spent most of today up at the Tarn wearing Nikki out (that dog just loves getting muddy, wet and running around like a lunatic!), watching the planes taking off and generally having a damn good day.
So having had such a good day what random things have popped into my head?

Well for a start, I’m in a reality questioning frame of mind (you know that sort of thing -  If a stealth bomber crashes in the woods and there’s no-one around does it still make a noise? What would have happened if the Egyptions had built a railway between them and the Greeks [the plans existed] and a form of Greek based bhudism had taken off rather then christianity as Europes predominant religion?) and can’t help but come to this conclusion……

At some point deep in the ancient history of humankind some divine knowledge was found/passed down to/by our ancestors. This knowledge was probably never written down, it didn’t need to be, it wasn’t meant to be cast iron and set in stone, each generation would learn these truths from the one before and interpret them in line with the circumstances of their time, inline with their experiences. When we started to write things down these truths got mis-quoted, became tools for control rather than reasons for freedom – people who needed power and control used them to get that.

And on that cheery not I’m going to sign off.

Now I know that when these two subjects appear on the internet (or for that matter in any form of media these days) it normally means that what follows is a arguement putting forward either a fundamentalist creationist arguement or a athiestic evolutionary arguement.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE EITHER OF THOSE.

What this is an explanation of what I feel is right, backed up by a scientific p.o.v.
I believe that science gives us the how, where as belief, in this case Christianity, gives us the why. The two need not conflict, one does not disprove the other.
This link is an article I found that confirms that I am not alone in that opinion.

Now I am not about to repeat everything that is put forward in that article but I do want to say that I see no reason that you cannot have faith and hold a common sense, scientific view of the world and our reality.
