I never use W.H.Smith unless I really have to, they were far too expensive, dirty and depressing last time I was in there.

I always feel sad about the decline of WHSmiths. It really isn't the same place it used to be!
I am amused that the acticle suggests that the business is neglecting the high street in favour of 'travel' stores - the very thing that established the business in the first place!
Brian, I'm still trying to link these two pieces of news together.
Perhaps we will one day find a asteroid that gives us proof that WHSmiths once existed in a planetary system, hundreds of millions of years ago. The asteroid would obviously be marked with a ISBN (Inter-Stellar Boulder Number) number and relevant EAN (Extraterrestrial Asteroid Number).

The Mirror article is science-fiction and based on an atheist perspective.
The Bible explains that the sun and moon and earth and heavens shall pass away and be replaced with an eternal universe.
The present universe is biological and therefore corruptible.
What the BBC and Co. give out as the origins of formation and life is a myth that has nothing to do with science.
The origin of scientific studies is intelligence, the origin of science is therefore intelligence.
God created the universe, and Eternity has no beginning as it has no end.

Alex, can you tell me why the Bible hasn't got an ISBN number of 010001001-0, as it is throwing my understanding of the universe (and books) into question.

Your understanding of the universe and related books, DT1, should be questioned if it is based on the view in the Mirror as in post 1.
Chaotic creation, as advocated by pseudo-science, is not science.
Anything other than Intelligent Creation is science-fiction.
This is FACT.

OK Brian, so a machine creates itself then.
Or it "evolves" slowly slowly.
Just give anything "a few hundred million years" and it will happen.
If not, throw in "a couple of billion years", and it will definitely happen.
The BBC version of science is fiction 100%.

Yes, Brian, machines build machines out of their own accord, with no human programming, and they all descend from the first mechanic mono-cell too.
I suppose it had to come out sooner or later.
