We were down the pub a few weeks back and the conversation turned to the possible origins of life. We were having an enlightening discussion when an American lady sitting on a table nearby asked why we weren't including creationism as an explanation. I tried to point out that religion, and simply wanting to believe things, doesn't necessarily provide a good scientific theory. She definitely didn't agree.
Oddly while sitting in the same pub last Friday night, a ghetto blaster (remember those?) about 30 yards away was blasting out the voice of an gospel preacher! We couldn't hear ourselves talk so I went over to politely ask if they could turn it down and was almost attacked by a young crew hanging out in the shadows by the African gospel church. I didn't know whether to fight, laugh or run for it! Weird.
