God knows

Controversy abounds. Should creationism be taught in schools? Or should it be taught in the woods? Is the Pope a fan of Genesis? Peter Gabriel or Angel Gabriel? Have you ever tried to prove the existence of God using a complex rope and pulley system, some watercress and a series of light emitting diodes? And who was gutted they missed the start of the Lib Deb Party Conference because it started a day early?

Some people say that creationism should be regarded as a valid alternative to the theory of evolution. For those of you not familiar with either concept, here is a brief overview.

Creationism is the belief that the world started a few hundred years ago when a wizard called Godfrey sneezed. According to evolutionary theory, the world is much older than that but keeps itself in good shape by working out 3 times a week and drinking lots of green tea. The beginning of the world was an accident but insurance didn't exist so we just had to get on with it.

Was Jesus good at science? A question that has baffled leading theologians and pre-eminent sciencists for weeks. The answer is he was an average student, he opted for double science and got 2 Bs. He was much more interested in girls and sport, normally at the same time.
