These strange atheists

According to the Times an atheist wants to be the first person in Britain to be de-baptised, claiming that he wasn't consulted at his baptism in 1953 and does not believe in God. He has obtained a "debaptism certificate" from the National Secular Society and has paid £60 to record it in the London Gazette.

All this does is demonstrate to the world that he does really believe in God but wants to make a point of rebelling. If he really did not believe in God his baptism would be meaningless and there would be no point in trying to cancel it out .... it would just have been a load of "hocus pocus". This man obviously believes his baptism does have some power and that would only be true if there was a God behind it.

Stuff is really nothing

Interesting find of the week - according to New Scientist, physicists have now proved mathematically that material stuff (i.e. everything around us) is really no more than "fluctuations in the quantum vacuum". In other words, stuff is really nothing. So if scientists can take what everybody knows to be true and prove the complete opposite, how much easier should it be for them to "prove" the existence of God - something that the majority of the world's people believe to be true anyway? And if they did, would Professor Dawkins and his cronies then change their attitude? Hmmm ..... interesting concept. Professor Dawkins bases his atheism on the lack of scientific evidence for the existence of God. But if his fellow scientists provided a scientific proof (which, it appears, they are now quite capable of doing), would he then believe it?
