    Alex, you continue to bark up the wrong tree. Trying to discuss issues with you is like pushing water up a hill, I don't know whether you are stupid, stubborn, or both, but I'll answer the ill-researched points you have raised this time.

    "You have never heard of the oath of coronation"
    That oath is undertaken by monarchs at coronation, but is not part of English Law, not being written into the statute books and therefore is not legally binding.

    "Darwin did not claim that one species can evolve into another".
    Actually he did - his five theories are:
    i) Evolution: species come and go through time, while they exist they change.
    ii) Common descent: organisms are descended from one, or several common ancestors and have diversified from this original stock
    iii) Species multiply: the diversification of life involves populations of one species diverging until they become two separate species; this has probably occurred billions of times on earth!
    iv) Gradualism: evolutionary change occurs through incremental small changes within populations; new species are not created suddenly.
    v) Natural selection: evolutionary change occurs through variation between individuals; some variants give the individual an extra survival probability.

    "The Christian Faith is the official British Faith" As Brian points out, there are many different branches of the christian faith. For 2000 years (give or take), England's faith was ruled by the Pope, under Catholiscm, until Henry VIII split from Rome, made himself "Defender of the Faith" and the Protestant faith took hold. For the next 250 years Catholics and Protestants persecuted each other (as they still tend to in Ireland) even though the Act of Toleration in 1689 established Protestantism as the dominant faith. That is why Protestantism is classed as the Church of England.

    I do not wish to change anything Alex - my views are very personal and I won't be discussing them on a public forum. All I ask, for the benefit of the forum and out of respect for the people on here, is that you properly research your statements before ascending your soapbox.
