    Then a completely separate one I found yesterday, when reading some science stuff...

    The priest who famously said, "It appeared to me that there were two paths to truth, and I decided to follow both of them," was Georges Lemaître. Lemaître was both a Catholic priest and a physicist, known for his groundbreaking work on the expanding universe and the Big Bang theory. He believed that scientific truth and religious truth were not in conflict but could both be pursued.

    I agree with him ... is it less likely that life was created by a benefic deity than random particles colliding in space? ... I'm hedging with an each-way ...;)

    I like the quote simply because I think cosmology brings me closer to religion, so it's two paths intertwined as one.

    I watched a video yesterday that suggested even if we could travel at the speed of light, it would take 2.5 million years to reach the Andromeda galaxy...

    Just thinking about that is mind boggling, we got more chance of meeting God than an alien. Not suggesting there is life out there though.

    Truth be told I haven't waded through the whole thing since I did my masters but I don't recall anything of the sort.

    The General Assembly is bound to debate and consider any question brought to it by a member state, or brought by a non-member state regarding a member state. Which is why the issue of a Palestinian state is going to be debated.

    And actual delegates to the UN will have diplomatic immunity, but this doesn't necessarily extend to domestic politicians.

    But beyond that, nothing obliges the US to open its doors to people it doesn't want.

    If the UN doesn't like that, they can **** off out of Manhattan and set up their HQ in Iran.

    Leaky defence?

    You've conceded the same number of goals as us, one <laugh>

    If anything I thought you'd pick a more Eze target to have a dig.

    How dare you.

    They hide underneath them, not behind them.

    There are standards, you know.

    Not really cos we know they killed terrorists. Maybe a few civilians were collateral, mind. That’s more than possible but it’s also Hamas’s fault for hiding behind them.
