RELIGION AND BROADCASTING BY B.B.C.
Sir, —This controversy has ended, as» expected, in a Donnybrook. Queerly, some pertinacious disputants think an argument most effectively settled when ihey have a machine-gun in one hana or a bucket of dope in the other. I never would subscribe to any manifestly man-made religion, superstition, legend, myth, etc., founded on make-believe. One instance, perhaps the first, will suffice, among many thousands. Genesis records Creation as finished in six days! Hoyle, of Cambridge University, says, “As a matter disintegrates in one direction, it just as surely integrates from another.” Allied are the problems of time and space—quite beyond the comprehension of any human that ever lived. How long in existence, and how long to continue? Mother Nature will do me! She brought me .into this world in her own way, and she will put me to sleep in her own way. I have no complaints.—Yours, etc., FIRST PERSON SINGULAR.
January 20, 1955. [This correspondence is now closed.— Ed., “The Press.”!
