David Attenborough gets hate mail

Taken from the Yahoo TV Website.......
Sir David Attenborough has revealed that he gets hate mail from viewers for not crediting God in his documentaries.
The veteran broadcaster, who is presenting a new series on Charles Darwin, said that he has received letters telling him to burn in hell because of his views on evolution.
He told Radio Times that he is often asked why he does not credit God when talking about some of the creatures featured on his shows: "They always mean beautiful things like hummingbirds. I always reply by saying that I think of a little child in east Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball.
"The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator."
He also revealed that he doesn't think creationism should be taught alongside evolution in schools and added: "It's like saying that two and two equals four, but if you wish to believe it, it could also be five.
"Evolution is not a theory; it is a fact, every bit as much as the historical fact that William the Conqueror landed in 1066."
LMFAO! What a hillarious way to reply... i bet it makes them think for sure!

Don't think it will make the real creationist think. They'll always come up with things like: "even for that worm God created, there's a purpose. That boy deserved that."

Never argue with imbeciles - they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience !
Its quite ironic isnt it?
"We believe in creationism and all that but we want you to burn in hell..."
Hmm, something not quite right there.
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

Why not, they believe in heaven, creationism and hell.
In Holland, the Christian Broadcast was about to cut some pieces about the evolutiontheory out of his documentaries btw, some months ago. That provoced also lots of discussion.

No need to hate the old man. I personally called him and said "David - you know I'm humble Deity, so please don't thank me."

A Christian bus driver refused to drive one of those buses with that message on it.

No, it is saying people who wander about constantly think "What would Jesus do?" aren't enjoying their lives.
And the answer to the question "What would Jesus do?" is probably "Get high", since drugs were often mixed with food back then. But perhaps that isn't a good message to give out.

C.S. Lewis once said he "was angry angry with God for not existing".
I, however, am a dyslexic agnostic insomniac - I lie awake all night windering if there is a dog.
Coming to think of it, I recently read that God wanted 10 days to create the world. Chuck Norris gave him 6.
Did you hear about the old women who went to the post office wanted to buy religious stamps for her Christmas cards.
"What denomination?" asked the postal clerk.
"Oh, good heavens! Has it come to this?" said the woman. "Well, give me 50 Baptist and 50 Catholic ones."
