Have a great week!

Over 50 years later and I can still recall the attar of silly putty. Beats incense any day. I guess plenty of young theists imprinted the face of Jesus in it and it stuck in the minds as the real deal 🙂

This ties in with what we already know about Homo…[Read more]

Cheers Reg!

…and sharks have been around 50 million years longer than trees…….

I recalled Pat Condell today when I was watching the first video.

Just a follow up on the AI reasoning and the human evaluation of truth story above.
