This story was on the BBC website's magazine section today http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7955846.stm. It is an article on how scientists of a Quantum Physics bent reconsile their scientific belief and the acceptance of a G(g)od or not.

As a committed non-scientific person I have no problem in reconciling my faith and science. I can actually find no problem in accepting that God created the world and that Charles Darwin was partially right on the Evolution of species; just wrong on man evolving from monkies or any other cross species evolution. I know that science is wrong on this because they have still not found the missing links between fish and reptiles, reptiles and birds, and animals and man.

What always makes me laugh is that aome cannot accept belief in God because of the "lack of proof" but accept Evolution with question even though it also has so many unproven elements. Yet, if you point this out to them, they accuse you of being an unreasonable and medieval in outlook.

Why is it that Christians, Jews and Muslims are so  backward, yet science is accepted as indisputable fact?

History Today:

1603: 'Good Queen Bess' dies and is succeeded by James VI of Scotland, the son of Mary Queen of Scots. Thus the thrones of England and Scotland are united. So the reign of Tudor ends and Stuart begins.

1944: The 'Great Escape' from Stalag Luft III, at Sagan (now Zagan in Poland). Of the 79 who escape, 50 are killed after recapture.

1958: Pelvis Presley is drafted into the US Army.

1973: Pink Floyd release Dark Side of The Moon.

1976: President Isobel Peron is deposed in a bloodless coup in Argentina.

1978: The Amoco Cadiz splits up off the French coast in strong winds causing the largest oil slick of its time.

1989: The Exxon Valdiz rund aground off the coast of Alaska, releasing  11 million tonnes of crude oil. Bit of a coincidence that.

1999: NATO begins bombing Serb troops in Kosovo, where they are killing ethnic Albanians. NATO greatest accomplishment is the destruction of more than half of the Serb's armoured forces - until they find out most of the tanks etc were fakes.
