Take a really simple example. The miracle of "feeding the 5,000" with five loaves and two fishes. Given it's a miracle, why were the starting loaves and fishes needed at all? It's just nonsense.
Because if he'd only had 4 loaves and 1 fish, he'd have run out of food. There's only so much your run of the mill miracles worker can do!

Because they were baby dinosaurs.
I'm convinced.

Does anyone understand VKs position on inequality in the CofE? He says he has provided he view but I'm still a bit confused as to whether he thinks its OK that they happily promote inequality.

If you have been told something consistently every week ( or in some cases ) every day of every week of your life, and denying it - means you are going to hell. ( Especially terrifying for young minds )
Then - in a high number of cases - it does not matter how much evidence you present in front of them that their belief is wrong - they just refuse to accept it.
And you can't blame them - for their entire lives - they are told it is true.
Take for example above - Noah's ark and the flood. Many people believe this to be a factual event.
No skilled shipbuilding team of engineers has ever been able to build a wooden structure the size of the ark - and make it seaworthy. But Noah and 7 others did.
Getting 2 of every animal is quite a task. Especially as some animals are only found for instance in South America - e.g. Alpaca and others are only found in Australia. e.g. Kangaroo
So, when Noah's ark landed at Mount Ararat - the 2 surviving Kangaroos - had one very long trek to get to Australia. Ditto the Alpaca's to get to South America.
Given the long distances involved - it would take more than one generation to get to their destination country.
Not one single skeleton of a dead Kangaroo has been found en route to Australia.
How did Kangaroo's and Alpaca's navigate across the oceans?

If you have a couple of hours going spare - the Bill Nye and Ken Ham debate is compelling viewing.

Camel, Chameleon, Coney, Ferret, Frog, Hare, Lizard, Mole, Mouse, plus lots of birds.
Now I don't know how many different types of dinosaur there were, but I know a website that does. If you go to http://dinosaurs.about.com/od/typesofdinosaurs/a/d..., and the following four pages, you will find lots of dinosaurs listed. By lots I mean lots and lots and lots. There are quite a few, certainly more than, for instance, ten.
In fact there are about 540 listed, but there are arguments that this could be reduced to 300, although not everyone agrees. Conservative estimates suggest there are another 700 types yet to be discovered, giving, conveniently for multiplication, 1000 types as a minimum. Every one of them, baby or not, would have required fourteen representatives as, we see above, they are not listed as unclean. That gives us 14,000 types of dinosaur on the ark.
Unless Noah was a bit of a slacker and only took cuddly bunnies. Two, as they are unclean.

Came across coach loads of this lot returning home in the Toddington services. They were down on their prayer mats and we were tripping over them to get to the bogs...

You look at all the effort that has gone into the protests - all the banners made about "learn manners" and "pope says insult my mum and I'll punch you". Came across coach loads of this lot returning home in the Toddington services. They were down on their prayer mats and we were tripping over them to get to the bogs...
And you just think. Get a life.
The pope on sex and violence.

Do as I say, not do as I do.
We must feel relieved that the world is not overpopulated or else such statements as these could cause poverty, malnutrition, ignorance and the imprisonment of women. And who would want that?

Babies=more opportunities to brainwash the followers of the future. No babies=no one to tell fairy takes to.
Another example of religion caring more about its own survival than the wellbeing of its followers.
