Arf. There are two schools of thought on how the World/universe was created.
God Bothering creationists believe that some bloke with no formal training in the building trade actually built the whole universe inside a week. This includes everything from a single celled virus up to John Prescott. ( He then took off for a titty bar in Reno and hasn't been seen since!...Thats God, not Prescott)
Or there is the Evolutionists view. Charles Darwin came up with the theory of evolution which basicly states that all life on earth evolved from pond scum and gradually became us and all other plants/animals etc. (pond scum are still about....solicitors,hedge fund managers,chavs,bike thieves....)
Personally I'm a cautious,athiest,jedi,pagan,spititulist with a hint of biggoted arsehole thrown in for good measure. Maybe.
The Jesus Fish, as it is known, is a chromed plastic fish with the word 'Jesus' or some symbol of the Christian faith inside it. It is placed on the boot of a car or in another conspicuous spot. It most often appears stuck to the back end of a Volvo, driven by a nondescript lady in glasses and a cardigan.
About five years ago, some non-Christian people got tired of the Jesus Fish and made their own version. It had legs, and the word 'Darwin' inside the fish body. The Darwin Fish took hold slowly at first, but has finally taken its place beside the Jesus Fish as one of the most common car decorations. The Jesus Fish people, however, are greatly disturbed by this and wish to make their feelings clear. To that end, they devised the Truth Fish: A Jesus Fish with the word 'Truth' inside the fish body. Its open mouth is devouring a Darwin Fish. The Darwin Fish camp responded with the Snappy Truth Fish send-up. It consists of an Evolution Fish (a Darwin Fish with the word 'Darwin' replaced with 'Evolution') doing something rather nasty to a Jesus Fish. The Jesus Fish camp have yet to react.

see the happy clappy's have put in an objection to the bus adverts on the grounds that there is evidence of a God in peoples personel encounter's with him and the evidence of the beutiful world he designed for us!! they dont like it up em do they!!
Atheist bus adverts could lead to watchdog ruling on God's existence
Officials at the Advertising Standards Authority are now considering whether to tackle the question that has taxed the minds of the world's greatest thinkers for centuries.
It has recorded 48 complaints since Tuesday when buses first hit the streets emblazoned with the message: "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life." At least 40 more people were understood to have made objections by last night.
Most of those who have contacted the ASA consider the adverts offensive and say they break guidelines on taste and decency.
However Stephen Green, the Christian campaigner who led the protests against the BBC's broadcast of Jerry Springer – The Opera, is claiming they should be taken down because the statement in the adverts cannot be substantiated.
He said: "If you're going to put out what appears to be a factual statement then you have to be able to back it up. They've got to substantiate this proposition that in all probability, God doesn't exist."
The ASA is now considering whether to investigate his complaint, which could lead to it reaching a deep ontological conclusion about a supreme being.
If it ruled that the wording in the posters was unsubstantiated, it would be interpreted as effectively saying that in all probability God does exist.
Ruling that the words were justified could be taken as an agreement that God probably does not exist.
Members of the public donated £140,000 to the Atheist Bus Campaign after its founder, the writer Ariane Sherine, suggested there should be an antidote to religious posters on public transport that "threaten eternal damnation" to non-believers.
Some supporters of the movement, which has now paid for 800 bendy-buses across Britain to carry the posters for a month as well as placing 1,000 adverts on Tube trains, had wanted a stronger slogan that denied God's existence categorically. But the word "probably" was included in order to meet ASA rules.
The British Humanist Association, which is co-ordinating the campaign, said it was confident the chosen wording will not be banned by the watchdog.
Hanne Stinson, the group's chief executive, said: "I've sought advice from some of our key people here, but I'm afraid all I've got out of them so far is peals of laughter. I am sure that Stephen Green really does think there is a great deal of evidence for a God – though presumably only the one that he believes in – but I pity the ASA if they are going to be expected to rule on the probability of God's existence. However, if they do investigate we will be very happy to respond."
The ASA said: "We are assessing these complaints to see whether there are grounds for an investigation."
Meanwhile, could the Flying Spaghetti Monster be responsible for the damage to the wind turbine in Lincolnshire?
"Some witnesses have said an octopus-shaped UFO was seen flying through the air hours before the turbine was destroyed.
One woman said she saw an object fly towards the wind farm, while others described the lights as being linked by "tentacles", leading locals to dub it the octopus UFO."
