Intelligent design gets a plain language pasting!
The Nurse has always felt - and thought - that the concept of god was a bit silly. As a small child in the ’70s she was sent home from junior school with a note saying that a girl who didn’t believe in god shouldn’t come to the christmas party. But she stuck to her guns. Logic […]
World Leaders: Bush, Brown, Merkel, Ahmadinejad and Putin a ‘bunch of twats’
