One of the greatest stories of history is now largely ignored, not only in secular circles but in the Church. Shame on the Church! I for one will proudly and loudly stand up and defend the Biblical Flood - worldwide and catastrophic.

Tea and Relativity
It's heart-warming to remember that I grew up in the land of tea-times and time lords, Big Ben, hot-cross-buns and Queen Elizabeth II.
