That might be your opinion, but you are demostrably in the minority.

Where is your evidence ?

You want "evidence" that you can believe, and you mock people who see "evidence" differently. What makes your evidence better than the evidence a devout Christian believes ?

As I have said repeatedly, hundreds of millions will trell you it is all around you. That you dismiss this 'evidence' because it relies on faith does not invalidate it's veracity in their eyes. There is a saying; "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence". As for the "demonstrable evidence", this is open to question, so the fact that you accept it as proof shows faith in the science and mathematics; https://www.lppfusion.com/science/cosmic-connection/plasma-cosmology/the-growing-case-against-the-big-bang/ "Since scientists first proposed the big bang theory, many people have questioned and criticized the model. Here's a rundown on some of the most common criticisms of the big bang theory:" https://science.howstuffworks.com/dictionary/astronomy-terms/big-bang-theory7.htm

MLG, does your "evidence" have to be physical, or can it be theoretical ? Do you believe in Black Holes or Dark Matter ? What about the Big Bang, or the end of the Universe ?

Do you believe faith exists ?

I think MLG's inflexible pedantry will eventually bury him.

After fundingcl cuts to the VA, and in the wake of the other cross-departmental budget reductions and program closures, Pete Hegseth has spent thousands of dollars converting a room adjacent to the Pentagon press room into a makeup studio.

What is infinity + 1 ?

Ahh, the usual misunderstanding of Cnut. The whole point of the tide thing was to prove to his courtiers that he wasn't all powerful, and could not command the tide to turn. Mind you, Trump seems unable to convince his handler to do anything.

Might it be somebody who posted a like on your post as he agrees with the sentiment ?

Our Bedlington/Whippet cross is called Beauregard Jackson Picket Burnside, after 4 Civil War generals.

Our local Primary do something similar for kids in top 2 years of the juniors.

From what age ? And how do you police the issue of checking insurance ? Not dismissing the matter, we have insurance, but there is often comparison made to cars and "road tax" and registration, which some seem to think can be easily transposed onto cycling. Good in theory, almost impossible in practice.

I think a cycle ride should be a mandatory part of learning to drive.

Re-reading "Rifles" by Mark Urban, the history of the 1st battalion 95th Rifles in the Peninsular War. Once that is finished I will start on Seutonius' "Lives of the Caesers", which my wife has bought me for my birthday. As a continuing effort I am also slowly easing my way through Shelby Foote's massive three volume history of the American Civil War, I suspect it will take as long as the actual war did.

Just to be clear, some cyclists are fucking twats and if they have an accident probably deserve it. Their stupidity, arrogance, or tendency towards the suicidal have an adverse influence on the attitudes of drivers that impacts on sensible, safe, cyclists trying to get around safely and co-operatively amongst fast movinge blocks of steel.

The US says both Ukraine and Russia must "give up territory" or they will walk away from the peace process. In effect Ukraine gets back a small part of what Russia has occupied, and the Kremlin gets to keep the rest, including Crimea. Putin's SMO is justified and agression prevails.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says that "the entire Pentagon" is working against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Maybe we need another Supreme Court ruling.

I agree with you on that one.
