Introduction Compact

Steven Hawking claims that "Heaven is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark". Well turnabout is fair play and John Lennox when asked to respond to that statement astutely replied: "Atheism is a fairy story for people afraid of the light"

Another John (the Apostle) puts it this way:

"This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God."

This is a place for serious discussion about the merits of Theism vs Atheism, as well as Science, Faith and Rationality. Everyone is welcome but be forewarned. Trolls, Ankle-biters and smarmy mouthed Mockers will be shown the door posthaste.
