Many geologists said that continental drift was impossible, because continents could not plough through solid basaltic rock. Later they discovered that although that objection was correct, their conclusion was incorrect because the mechanism was something quite different.

I was brought up to believe that creation took place exactly as in Genesis. I thought a lot about this, and later believed that it made more sense to consider that creation was an on-going process; still going on today.

That was in my teens. I have moved a lot further since then, and have a more open minded attitude to religious beliefs of all kinds, including Atheism which is as much a belief system as any of the others.

Very little in life is certain, but one thing that is is that threads like this may raise some interesting issues, but they never reach a conclusion. Stick at it folks; there’s still “Rev’s” record to challenge. laugh


There never was nothing.
