Ah yes, A-level stress, I know it well Yes, I would call myself a sort of closet Christian as the overwhelming majority of my friends and family think I'm a hard-line atheist as I was for a phase of about a year, but as a rule I consider change bad plus I'm a yella' bellied coward I'll probably start practising at uni. On that subject, I've put my offer from Cambridge as my firm choice, and Durham is my insurance. Cambridge for 'Theological and Religious Studies', Durham is straight 'Theology'. How about you?

Hi there old chum, nice to hear from you again, this is a blast from the past! Still living the Deen and all that?

you should expect to hear back by late january or early february. are you international or home?

Sorry for not replying - I (almost) never seem to see messages.

In answer to your question, I am certainly by no means a "genius" and no, I don't study chemistry at Uni ...

I got into my sixth form.
It's been going alright. How about you?

Hey! I remember your username but I can't remember exactly where from. Was it the Year 11 thread?

Maths is great! We've almost finished C1 and C2, and we're more than half way through M1 and S1. Statistics is a bore but I'm enjoying everything else so far.

Physics is OK, I guess. We're doing Chapter 2 first and a lot of that links in with M1 which helps. Which topics are you doing at the moment in Physics?

Russian has by far the biggest workload of any A level I could have possibly chosen. I'll just leave it at that!

So how are you finding Sixth Form so far? Did you stay at your old school?

Similar? They are almost INDENTICAL! LOL, congratulations! Hopefully we'll do well at sixth form and get A*s there too! What uni are you looking to apply to?

(Please say Oxbridge)

I am afraid that I must leave it there, A-levels are comming up and I left all my work until the last minute I hope I have at least given you some food for thought and I can safely say, after skimming through the rest of the article, I still have not seen a single scrap of real evidence (I say this because there was allot of evidence which seemed real until further research revealed it as outright lying and malevolent confidence trickery of trusting readers - I am still a bit ticked of for being formerly convinced by another trustworthy sheikh that Muslims weren't allowed to lie ). Anyhow, good luck in any future endeavours and always remember, as a wise man once said:

"Take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness, truth, beauty and wisdom will come to you that way."

Sincerely,
Diety.

continuation On his points about evolution from water to land organisms being impossible are seemingly ignorant of the very nature of evolution as 'gradual change over time', if we were talking about rapid transformation I would agree with him.
Finally, on turtles; you can see from the list that fossils of different variations of turtles have been found, including the oldest form, Odontochelys semitestacea which many see as a transitional fossil between Amniotes (early reptiles) and modern turtles. This is thought true as Odontochelys has the body shape of a turtle, along with teeth, a long tail and a longer head, like a lizard. I can possibly forgive Mr Yahya for not knowing about this transitional species as its status as such is still debated by scientists (99% of whom accept evolution I might add )

continuation His little side track about a fish thought to be a transitional fish/amphibian in the 1930s seems irrelevant, I am not sure if he was expecting 1930s scientists to never get anything wrong what he should have seen from this is that in the light of new evidence, science is free to amend its self and get closer to the truth, unlike rigid, inalterable religious dogma. to be continued
