Oh great, flat Earthers rearing their ugly heads again! I suppose if I want to fly from London to New York I'd better head over Europe, Asia, stop over in Japan... ? LOL
It is a community. We have Skeptics in the pub meetings, all over the World. There are skeptics conventions ranging from modest to absolutely HUGE. Perhaps the most famous are the TAM meetings. I've yet to get to a TAM but would love to go.
http://tam.asnevents.com.au/ <- TAM Australia meeting I didn't get to. 2011 was in Las Vegas. No chance of getting there.
HAr Har I reckon you'd have a good time Andrew. A dry sense of humour is a defining characteristic of a skeptic.
I'm sceptical of skeptics !

Yes, I sincerely hope all you skeptics and rational thinkers out there enjoy your Easter Holidays and join in the festivities with true appreciation of the real meaning of Easter - Chocolate Easter Eggs and chocolate bunnies and hot cross buns. Oh, look! They (who are they?) have hijacked the true meaning of Easter and replaced it with chocolate fertility symbols! Wow! And we never even noticed! Well, there you go! Zapped again! Much easier getting involved in gluttony and fertility rites than recognising the Truth of Easter. No, not Oestre. Yes, they hijacked it for sure.
I must also mention those who contribute to the Birds section and the Macro section on this site. Can I suggest you go and have a look and make note of the patterns in the plumage of the birds. Yes, the perfectly symmetrical patterns in the feathers. Are they not magnificent and phenominal? I would venture to suggest that any really honest person would find it hard to attribute such perfectly symmetrical patterns to random chance! Ha! The same goes for animals where, if you mentally split the animal down the middle, the left side is a mirror image of the right. (A bit like politics)
I would have to suggest that anyone still refusing to acknowledge the clear evidence of design in nature needs to closely scrutinise their critical thinking cababilities. Isn't it rational to think that design has taken place here? How do cells "know" how to create all these magnificent shapes and colours? How? Tell me! Ha! You cannot!
And not only shapes and colours but perfectly functioning entities - animals, birds, fishes, insects. Think about it people as you enjoy the extra days holidays this Easter. Then think of the true reason we celebrate Easter and why we need to be thankful for a loving Saviour, our Creator, who died for our sins on the cross in our place.
Happy Easter!
