    No...the research says that we have a brain option to believe in God. Clearly we have a choice to use that part or not...either way it's not a bad choice in the whole scheme of things

    I could have said he obvious Christian evangelical thing and just say "there is no better choice" but I didn't

    Sorry mate the school had nothing to do with it. We traveled a bit around Oz and her attitude never changed over three schools in two years.
    Its a fairy tale and she knew it.

    Sorry you find it hard to believe Grahameeboy........truth is I enjoyed the great stories at Sunday school when I was a child and was eager for her to share the experience. In spite of what you might think great effort was taken to have her accept religious teaching, all to no avail!

    "Chariot of the gods" was a cool book. Not necessarily that factual, but introduces the concept of alien intervention [hey that's essentially what god is!?] in a more believable fashion.

    That's the type of book that people who hate religion would believe as "gospel truth" along with just about any book knocking religion or God. While I have no love of the established "religions" of this world, Richard Dawkins is an egotistical idiot, so full of his own self-importance and believing in the fawnings of his faithful he can't see past his own nose.

    And yes, I have read much of his works.

    So sorta in the same vein as Jesus/God then?

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    I must confess I found myself thinking in circles on this one.

    God spot is found in brain common throughout mankind
    Darwinian theory suggests this gives an evolutionary advantage
    Ergo Belief in God is good for survival.

    I have my own theories on why that's true - interested to hear other's opinions.

    I'm not this proves or disproves the existance of a deity - more to do with the prevalence and seeimingly inherant need for religion in society
