 You might have heard that the Anglican offer you a free atheist wall paper in the subscription section of their site.

This inspired me to come up with a free atheist anglican wallpaper.

Ok, I assume it applies to all christians evenly, not just anglicans. Click on image for a full version.

here's the formatted version of what we hammered out yesterday. i've tweaked a few more minor bits, corrected grammar, reconciled bits relating to changes elsewhere, and rearranged the sections better than we could in a noisy pub at the end of four hours of work. i've also taken the public officer out of the category of officebearers where we put it yesterday, as  with my understanding of the position as we were discussing it, none of the clauses under that heading actually apply to it. this is borne out in the existing rules.

Abstract: "The New Atheists - A Near-Total Failure?"

SBS has posted a pro-creationist blog entry here: www.sbs.com.au/documentary/blogs/view/id/113372/t/Darwin%27s%20Dangerous%20Idea in response to the documentary Darwin's Dangerous Idea which is being shown on SBS1. The text has obviously not been through a spell-checker, and is unashamably apologetic creationist. Blogger Mark Jones advocates creationism and attacks "Darwinism" as unscientific.

"Surely God is big enough to account for a world that is continually in a state of being created."

"Id like to know if every aspect of evolution can be definitively proved in the modern lab."
